I’m disgusted by the managers behaviour this evening. I unfortunately miss placed my card and I went back to Whittard in White City to check if I had dropped it as I remember something dropping out of my hand after making my payment in the store. They were locking up at that time with the glass doors locked and I kindly asked if I could check if my card fell under one of the tables, they frantically shook their hands and head and told me there’s nothing there from their desk.

We were probably not buying enough in her eyes. Problem is that customer was a tourist and a one off, I live down the road... Guess who's a repeat customer?...
Read moreStaff needs more training. During our visit, it felt like the staff was not attentive and more indulged into their private conversations rather than trying to attend their customers.
Shop offers great selection of teas, however tea accessories were not sold in store. I was pretty disappointed that I could not get the tea burner in the shop. It was supposed to be Christmas gift and we travelled to Westfields just for that. Time and petrol was wasted. I had to order tea burner online instead, but as it was ordered late, I didn’t get it in time.
Not sure if the website provides information what items are sold in store. In the future I will be either using home delivery or click&collect option to avoid the...
