Whistles 135-136 Upper Street, London N1 1QP

"As a man shopping for his wife's birthday present, I couldn't have asked for more helpful and knowledgeable service at this shop. Lovely clothes and lovely staff who really engaged with the process of selecting a jacket. Highly recommend . . ."

"Whistles Islington came to the rescue today. Super helpful when I called in a panic that I hated my outfit! I explained that I was driving down from Essex & hated my top. I gave them a brief description on what I was wearing & that I was meant to be at a Xmas party & was already running late. They quickly showed me the stuff that they had selected for me & had me put the door within 10 minutes Thank you xx"

"While the store itself is nice and the items high quality, they only stock size 14 and under on the shop floor. I found two items in a size 16 and nothing higher despite them being available on their website. It’s send a pretty unfriendly message about the body type they want shopping in their store - especially given size 16 is average size in the UK. And while the other sizes may be in stocked at the back, it’s a little shaming that anyone over size 14 has to make a special request. I’m not sure if this is a this store issue or a Whistles issue more generally. The staff were friendly and this seems like a management issue more than anything else."

"I had a fantastic in-store shopping experience at the Islington branch of Whistles. The store is really nicely laid out with a great range of clothes. The manager, BlueBelle, spent a lot of time helping me choose and try on shoes. For one pair, they didn't have my size in stock, so she took the time to personally call another branch and get them ordered in for me. Based on this experience I'll definitely be shopping at this branch of Whistles again in the future. Thank you BlueBelle for all of your help!"

"I just had a wonderful shopping experience at this shop. I could tell all assistants were being attentive to their customers but want to give a particular shout out to Alexandra. She gave me a proper styling consultation - picking out dresses for me after I had told her what I was looking for and then patiently advising me on different sizes and giving honest feedback. I am delighted with the three dresses I purchase and am confident they will see le through the summer in style! Thank you!"
