text: A lot of people give this place really bad press in my opinion much more than they should nnDont get me wrong a lot of the time it is deserved from the outside the building is without doubt one of the ugliest things I have ever seen in my life And it is true than the vast majority of the time you can usually find what you need on Princes Street which is only minutes walk away And yes this place is definitely where all the cheaper chavvier shops hang outnnBut at the same time there are lot of things about this place that make me shop here sometimes Edinburgh city centre being what it is most of the shops on Princes Street are so tiny that they all have two branches spread along it You do not have to be a genius to work out that it is really annoying when the HM that you are in does not do jewellerytightswhatever it is you need and you have to trudge half a mile along the road Especially when it is snowing sleeting or raining which is about half the yearnnNot only are the shops in here bigger in size a lot of the bigger names that did not manage to nab a spot on Prnces Street are in here like RepublicnnAlso I love John Lewis Although I feel as though I am cheating on Jenners by just saying that all of the bigger department stores along Princes Street all belong to the House of Fraser chain so invariably if one of them does not stock what you need then the other probably will not either The Debenhams on Princes Street is too small to be of any real use to anyone so if it is a big department store you need then it is defnitely worth a visit herennJust do not wear too many ayers when you do I do not know why maybe it is for the benefit of the ridiculous number of baby chavs being pushed through here at any given time but the heating in thi place is always on max not great when you are carrying loads of heavy bags
