A large branch of this national chain of [[Category Department Stores|department stores]]. Particularly notable, in this reviewer's opinion, for a large cookware section and food hall in the basement, with a good selection of packaged goods from a variety of countries, and good meat and cheese counters. The food hall contains a number of small restaurant areas, including [[Yo Sushi, CR0 1TY|a branch of Yo Sushi]].

It sells women's fashion and menswear from a large number of well-known labels, as well as homewares.

As of March 2019 there are two cafes within the store: [[Caffe Nero, CR0 1TY|a branch of Caffè Nero]] on the top level and Seima's Tea Room on the lowest level.

[[Kake]] visited Seima's Tea Room on a Friday lunchtime in March 2019 and ordered their "sandwich platter" (£7), which included a pot of loose-leaf tea, two "half" or three "quarter" sandwiches, and a small leaf salad. I chose two "half" sandwiches with fillings of cucumber & tomato and tuna mayo

The cucumber and tomato were sliced nice and thin, and were fresh and crunchy. The tuna mayo had enough sharpness (presumably from a vinegar-heavy mayonnaise) to be interesting, and wasn't at all dry. The bread was granary and fairly undistinguished. The tea was good, and they explicitly asked me if I'd like more hot water for a second brew.
