Specsavers

This is a very handily placed Specsavers for anyone living in the vicinity of Whiteladies Road. You can pop in there on the way to do your weekly shop in Sainsbury’s of on your weekend trip to pick up the newspaper from WHSmiths. The staff are much more on the ball and helpful than their Broadmead counterparts and once you suss out which level does what it’s pretty straightforward. The floor you walk in at is where all the glasses are displayed and they always have some decent offers on. I got two nice pairs of specs for about £70 (which I billed my old employer when it provided me with health insurance). There is also a help desk on this level where people can book you in for appointments etc. But if you want any sight tests or contact lenses you will need to go downstairs. The contact lens fella is a really nice guy and helped me solve the problem of hayfever vs. Contact lenses (I now wear daily disposables). They also will try their best to save you money, which is nice.
