WHSmith

Unlike it may look from the outside, this is actually a massive 2-storey WH Smith which contains lots of well-priced stock. They have magazines on almost anything you could think of and can be really useful when looking for specific, stationary / book related items.

If you are in a wheelchair they only have stairs to the upper floor,having visited today (A friday) it was not busy at all but the staff were quite rude and very unhelpful!!
If I was a potential shopper looking for A book go to Waterstones which is only a two min walk away !!!
No I would not recommend this shop at all .

This shop has an endless amount of stationary that you could ever want. I went in for a folder - a big one and found quite a few styles although they were a bit spread out over the shop. They carry pens, notebooks, pendrives, SD cards, pencils, school supplies, you name it they have it. A great selection and a good shop.

Do not bother going to buy children's books if you have a pram or buggy with you. The children's section is upstairs but they have a lift to get up there, so no problem right? Wrong.

They decided to put all the books for very young children in the only place upstairs that has either two steep steps down to get to or a small flight of steps down to get to.

So I go down the steps to get in, fine, then can't get the pram out again because the steps are so steep, not even going to attempt the small flight of stairs. Had to put my books down that I wanted to buy and then caught my leg in between the step and the pram (so thanks for my lovely bruises).

Got to the till and asked the lady if anybody had ever mentioned that it was actually quite difficult to get in and out of the children's section with a pram (as I would imagine a lot of people would have with them) got a very unenthusiastic 'yeah, a few people have mentioned it' in response.

Can see why they rank so low in shopping experience every year when this type of store planning is in play.

Wanted refill for pen man behind counter very helpful. Very good attitude 👍

I've visited here a few times to pickup journals and research books. The quality of pends and books sold here is absolutely fantastic. If you're looking for great, albeit generic, journals come here. If you want anything properly stylistic and we'll made I'd suggest checking out the Disney shop in the castle mall for fun and good quality journals.

The basic supplies and parts I've gotten at this shop have lasted me well and I'm still actively using most today.

Thank you guys for delivering my book.

This branch of WHSmith's is one of the few newsagents in Norwich where you can still buy the paper edition of The Fortean Times.

They also stock a large range of other magazines covering everything from philosophy to fashion and pop culture.

You also have the opportunity to buy pricey stationery and lever arch folders boasting pastel designs.

Along with a selection of books that seem to be largely of the Richard and Judy Book Club variety. If you enjoy a middle class romance novel about a potter called Amelia who moves to the Cotswolds and has a wild fling with the bad boy of sheep farming, Josh Squarejaw, then fill your boots.

The staff seem to have largely lost the will to live, and I don't blame them. They are working for a retail dinosaur whose days are surely numbered.
