THE BEST SHOPS IN BRITAIN
The nation has spoken…
My army of Secret Shoppers have cast their votes, written their reviews, and secret shopped their way around the British aisles and this is the result: a live scoreboard of the Best Shops in Britain.
The nation has spoken, but do you agree? Have you had a brilliant experience where everyone else has only had bad? Or have you been let down by the nation’s favourite?
I want this to be an accurate barometer of who’s serving the British public – so let the truth out and click on any retailer below to have your say.
