The British high street has changed dramatically, but some shops still pull us in for a proper wander. Rank the ones you genuinely love spending time in.
Put the items in your preferred order.

Marks & Spencer
The reliable middle-class staple where you pop in for socks and leave with a ready meal, a birthday card, and a bottle of wine. Somehow always feels like a little treat.

Waterstones
The last true refuge for people who still like to touch a book before buying it. The staff recommendations cards alone are worth the visit.

Boots
Part pharmacy, part beauty hall, part lunchtime sandwich stop. Nobody leaves with only what they came in for.

John Lewis
The department store for people pretending they're just looking at kettles while secretly testing every sofa in the furniture section.

Charity Shops
From Oxfam to the local hospice shop, the thrill of the unexpected find keeps British high streets interesting and affordable.
