Videostar

It’s pretty much a if you happen to be passing kind of shop. The video selection is a bit limited and prices are overly expensive for most items.
At the same time though, if you happen to be a Queen’s Road resident, and just after the odd item, it is probably worth spending a little extra. It is also the kind of shop that I am surprised manages to stay open. It’s not very likely that you would be passing randomly.
Certainly handy, but I wouldn’t suggest doing a serious shop here.

If you live at the top of Hanover along Queens Park Road your options of convenience shops are quite limited by distance, so you find yourself committing to one. Imagine my delight when I moved into a house only two doors down from both a convenience shop and a Threshers, a perfect monopoly of easy living. My utopian corner of Brighton was seriously shaken after I started frequenting Videostar. Firstly, they don’t have any real basic amenities past bread and milk, definitely no bin bags. Secondly, everything is really overly expensive! And what with Threshers falling into administration this nirvana was well and truly destroyed. There is a nice little Happy Shopper on Down Terrace, just in case you find yourself stranded near here.

This newsagents is ideal if you are at Queens Park and you need a cold drink and or a quick snack. It does most of what newsagents normally do including papers drinks food and other random bits and bobs.
Not much else I can say about this shop except for the fact that if you live 50 yards in any direction you will be thankful it is there otherwise you wouldn’t know it existed.
