Clothes Shops, Shoe Shops, Fashion and Bargains

• As Watford goes, most of the shops all sell pretty much the same! A bit boring and not much selection. The best though would be- Per Lui, French Connection and USC (occasionally).
• I like D.P's
• Harlequin Centre, Queens Road, W E S T W A T F O R D for the special discounts!
• Alas C & A is no more !
• Plenty of good clothes shops in the Harliquin but also check out Per Lui's at the bottom end of town
• girls; for a budget shop try new look or select, cheap clothes but they fall apart in weeks, for decent buys always avoid Miss Selfridge. Everyone else in Watford will be wearing exactly the same thing. Top shop and Bay Trading are always great places to shop and they're clothes are generally pretty good quality.
• Does anyone remember One-eyed Dicks?
• Now with C&A gone, Watford has no apropriate clothes shops.
• There are plenty: take your pick from Jane Norman, Next, Morgan, Bay Trading, Hennes, Miss S, TopShop, The End, French Connection - anywhere you want you will find it in the Harlequin or just outside.
• Harlequin.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
