Review of Pret A Manger
13 Nov 07, 16:05
good service... 
this is what you would expect from a pret a manger, good service and good coffee. I particularly like Pret because it prides itself on good quality food and on fair trade. If you cant find an independant coffee shop then I think Pret is the next best thing...

Review of Uniqlo
13 Nov 07, 11:07
good value clothing... 
I think Uniqlo is an under-rated shop, they offer good value clothing that is far superior than the likes of Primark. This branch of Uniqlo always looks good and well presented. The staff are helpful. If you are looking for cashmere at a reasonable price this is good place to come. Also if you like simple well designed pieces then come to Uniqlo.

Review of NatWest
13 Nov 07, 11:01
expect to wait... 
Everytime I go to this Natwest there seems to be a huge queue. In some cases this is down to it being busy but more often than not its due to a lack of staff serving. Its so frustrating when you see staff wondering behind the cashier looking as if they ve got something more important to do when they could be serving customers. Or what seems to happen here is that they start serving and then get up and wonder off for 5 minutes

Review of Post Office

join the queue...
I think this is pretty much the only Post Office in central croydon, well at least the length of the queue would suggest this. Everytime I go in the queue snakes back to the door. There are lots of people serving I think its just generally really busy than down to poor service. So if you have a more local post office I would suggest you go there. A good thing about this branch is that it seems to stock everything you'd need from post-its to phones

Review of Kingsbury Lettings
26 Oct 07, 21:52
Good service...
Looking for a place to live in Croydon was not easy, not easy at all in fact. Places were going within hours of being posted. So when finally finding somewhere that was suitable we were glad that we had Kingsbury Letting Agency to help us finalise the contract. We needed to move in ASAP and Kingsbury did all that they could to make sure that we got the flat in time. They sent out contracts, speeded up the reference process and came into the office at the weekend so that they could hand over the keys. We didnt have any problems with them and they were always happy to answer our questions and return our calls. Charges for their service wasnt too bad and in line with most other letting agencies. I would definetly recommend their service.

Review of Miso Noodle Bar
26 Oct 07, 21:44
Good prices...huge portions
Miso noodle bar is a great place to go if you re looking for good food at a great price. You can get a starter, main meal and drink for about a tenner. With these prices you may think that the quality of the food may not be up to standard, but it is. It is all authentically made and there is a good choice on the menu. The staff are friendly and very attentive. Miso also offers a takeaway and home delivery service.

Review of Shakeaway
26 Oct 07, 21:37
Milkshake Madness
Shakeaway is amazing. Here you can have milkshakes made from all sorts of flavours. The menu is extensive, shelves of sweets and cakes line the walls. You can have a Jamaican ginger cake milkshake, or a jelly tots milkshake or if you wanted you can have the two combined. If you re not sure what to have there are helpful suggestions and others that sound less desirable. As well as this they do toppings - maple syrup, cream, malt etc. Prices are quite good, plus they do a loyalty card like most coffee houses do. They also offer a student discount. It can get quite busy and hectic with so many shakes being made at once, so expect to queue. However, if you choose a good combination of flavours, i can assure you it ll be worth the wait.
