Great Shoes 
This was amazing when it first came to milton keynes, At last we have the London Office shoes, they are very fashionable and about 50 - 80 quid, but well made and compfy.

Review of Barratts Shoes
01 May 08, 20:19
Fashion shoes 
Great for fashion shoes that are cheap and cheerful. This is a large store with alot of stock and so they do have most sizes, even larger sizes. The quality of the shoes arent too bad for the price and they are really good at taking back any shoes where the soul has come away even without a reciept.

Review of Karen Millen
23 Apr 08, 20:44
Nice shopping experience
This is a really nice store, with helpful staff and lots of stock in most sizes. The shoes are amazing here as are all the accessories. Whilst its expensive, the clothes last and are well made and fitted. Its a shame alot of their clothes now have Karen Millen written on them. Teh staff are also very helpfull on checking other stores for stock if you want something they dont have. Be careful that they dont give refunds tho, only credit notes which can be annoying.

Review of Dorothy Perkins
23 Apr 08, 20:37
Fashion
This is a really good store, and have a really good range of shoes and underwear. Dorothy Perkins is really good for its little tops in summer, which seem to wash well and last and are usually under a tenner. Sometimes its a tad messy with lots of rails of clothes in no particular order, but if you can be bothered to look you can find some really good bargains.

Review of Oasis

Fashion
For some reason this shop seems to always have a bargain rail, which would be great if it wasnt full of nasty jumble tat. The up to date seasonal stuff is actually really nice, high fashion and not badly made. The jeans are also really good from here and not at a bad price.

Review of Miss Selfridge

Size Zero
If you are a size Zero or four or less then you will find something in here. Mainly for school kids size, but great fashion clothes at affordable prices. Plus its like a 2 for 1 shop with Topshop right above it. The accessories are good in here too, nice belts and sunglasses.

Review of West One

Holiday clothes
If you want cheap fashion holiday clothes then this is the place to go. Most things shrink when washed but then they are so cheap what do you expect. Its high fashion, and mostly attracts school girls. They do larger sizes too.

Itchy
I dont know what it is about the fabrics in this shop, but they make me itch and they are not that cheap either. Its good fashion clothing but i expect a better quality for the money im paying. The staff are helpful and leave you alone to brouse which is good.

Review of Topshop
23 Apr 08, 20:28
Jumble sale 
This shop is like a jumble sale most of the time, with stuff thrown every where. And how does Kate Moss make her range look so good in the photos, the clothes are cheaply made and dont wash very well. But the clothes are throw away fashion and you can update your wardrobe quite often without spendng an absolute fortune. If its in fashion, its in there.

Review of Jaeger
23 Apr 08, 20:26
classy
This is a nice shop with not actually alot of stock to look thru, but what they do have is very well made and very classy. I think you have a better deal if you are male as the suits are really nice. The staff arent too in your face either which is nice, but its a little off putting when the shop isnt that busy.

Review of Gap

MInd the Gap
This is quite a large store and has alot of stock, the mens section is actually better than the ladies. The sizes are still weird to work out and the questions at the till on who has helped you today, are a little much. Service is good tho and you will usually find most sizes available and in stock.

Review of Envy
23 Apr 08, 20:22
Trendy
This shop is ok, altho there is more floor space than clothes, and some of them arent made that well. They are more for the younger and trendier market with a throw away fashion feel to it.

Review of Next
23 Apr 08, 20:21
Good size Next.
This is quite a large Next and has a really good home section too. It also has lots and lots of shoes, which is great unless you are a large size as for some reason their shoes come up like boats?! They also do longer length clothes and a petite section. The customer service is also very good.

Review of Tanning Shop

Nice Tan
This place is ace, Ive had some gret fake tans here, especially for weddings for an all over even tan, and not too dark either. Its also never streaky. The staff are good on advise with what products to use for your skin type too.

Makes getting around easy
This place is a god send if you have a member of your family that needs help in getting around, which lets face it in MK theres alot of ground to cover, especially the shopping centres. The staff are very good and know their stuff.

Review of Orange Retail Shops
23 Apr 08, 20:03
The futures bright...
For some reason the staff seem to have better things to do than be of help to you. Whilst they stock most of the phones and are happy for you to have a play, they expect you to know and understand all their technical jargon, whilst im not convinced they know themselves!

Review of The Fragrance Shop
23 Apr 08, 20:00
Smelly Cat
I think most of their stuff is a little cheaper than you will find it in department stores, and they often have deals on. They sell absolutely every perfume you could want, and they arent shy about letting you have a sniff before you buy. They can be quite forceful tho if you are not sure if you want to buy.

Review of Body Shop
23 Apr 08, 19:58
Products
The ethics of the Body Shop are brilliant, unlike the service most of the time. There always seems to be lots of attractive staff not doing alot and you are often kept waiting at the till. But saying that, it is the Body Shop stuff and some of their weird hair care products made with mint and banana are unique and amazing.

Review of Pret A Manger

Take away or eat in
Pret is expensive, but you get what you pay for. The sandwiches are fresh and tasty, especially the All Day Breakfast, that will keep you going all day. They also have a nice facilities to eat in.

Review of Wagamama Restaurant
21 Apr 08, 21:55
Great food
Great food, impressive menu and all cooked in open kitchens there and then. The Wagamma style is the same here with bench seating, so at busy times you are sat next to strangers, so not your intimate meal date.

Review of Pizza Express Restaurants
21 Apr 08, 21:48
If you like pizza...
Pizza Express is a nice venue with great pizzas, the salads have seen better days but the service is good if you dont like to be rushed. The tables are nicely spaced out and desserts are great. Look out for the jazz nights tho as they like their live singers mid week.

Review of The Secklow Hundred
21 Apr 08, 21:18
Pub
Good for sports, especially if you like your rugby as they seem to show this over football, which is great. Its right next to All Bar One and couldnt have a more different clientele, its slightly younger and less stuck up. Dodgy carpet tho.

Review of All Bar One
21 Apr 08, 21:14
Pub for the chic and suits
This is one of the best pubs in Milton Keynes, with the atmosphere and decor of the London ABO's. You wait ages to be served and the air con is always on the cold side. But if you are 25+ and want a nice glass of wine, this is the place. No loud music, chic and suited bods out for a good night. Plus heated lamps for the smokers outside.

Review of HaHa Bar and Grill

fun with friends
Great menu and even better service. The posh fish finger sandwiches are ace. Nice seating too with it being mainly booths so you are not on top of other people.
Brownies are to die for too!
