River Island

This RI shop on Oxford Street is really nice. It’s huge which allows you more space to go around and shop which is always appreciated. I hate to suffocate while shopping, as if it wasn’t annoying enough.
The staff care for your needs as they came right away to make sure we were ok and had all the help necessary.
Some couches are available on the second floor for those who wish to rest while their companions go over the store.
I like the style of clothes and they offer a wide choice of shoes, clutches and purses that’s drive mad any fashion lover ;).
All in all, it’s a really nice environment and i’d gladly come back.

Ah, River Island. I’ve got a renewed sense of faith in you despite your frankly odd styles sometimes.
We went in to try and exchange Matt’s belt because it broke after a week. The only thing was, we didn’t have a receipt because he’d bought belts from here before and they’d always been fine so we threw it out.
So in we went, clutching a broken belt with no proof of purchase and a feeling of dread that they’d turn around and laugh us out of the store.
But they didn’t. When we explained that we’d bought it just after Christmas and that Matt had only worn it for a week before the buckle snapped, they told us to go down to the men’s section and pick a new belt out and they’d sort it out.
I’m impressed. Considering we could have been lying (we weren’t), that’s an enormous amount of trust in the customer and going above and beyond retail law to provide a good service. Well done, River Island!
They even let him put the belt straight on and walk out of the store with it and the new receipt tucked into his pocket. Brilliant service.
I also went and bought a new top from this store and they had a decent range of sizes available, which is unusual in most stores as they always seem to run out of 12s and 14s everywhere else and the girl on the till was friendly and chatty. Can’t fault our experience here.
Now if only they can sort out the amount of crêpe they seem to use in their clothes, I’d be 100% happy…

Super Kleidung und richtig stylisch! ich finde NICHT, dass es mit H&M oder zara vergleichbar ist! Die Preise sind höher und die Qualität besser auch sind die sachen schöner, edler, stylischer.
man kann sich auf RI verlassen, immer wenn ich reingehe, komme ich mit tollen Sachen wieder raus.
I LIKE!

River Island has loads of nice clothes, for men in particular. They have their own branded shoes and whatnot which aren’t actually that bad. Their accessories are always unique and they have a way of setting their own individual trends.

Yes Yes standard!
except they do have some funky dowdy stuff about in there right now! bit of a hippy fashion, we don’t all want to wear mustard colour roll up trousers and faded paper thin t shirts!

Top notch! I’m often able to find an item of clothing that nobody else in my circle has!

La boutique est très bien agencée, les fringues toujours sympas, originaux et à prix abordable: un des endroits à né pas manquer sur Oxford Street pour une après-​midi shopping !

The River Island store on Oxford Street is much like any other store in the chain, except it is much larger in size. The range is mirrored in stores across the country, but I get the feeling there is a larger variety here. The staff are very helpful, offering advice and ample opportunity to try on any items before you purchase. Don’t forget your student discount where applicable!

Toller Laden direkt an der Oxford Street. River Island gibt es relativ häufig in London, vorallem in der City. Vergleichbar mit H&M, Zara und VeroModa bei uns. Ähnelt TopShop eher nicht, würde ich behaupten. Immer eine nette Anlaufstelle. Natürlich nicht so uptodate wie die kleinen individuellen Lädchen und kleinen Londoner Designer, allerdings verglichen zu Deutschland sehr trendy. Preise sind moderat. Schöné Accessoires in der 2. Etage. Vorallem kann ich hier auch die Herrenabteilung empfehlen, sehr ausgefallene Sachen, tolle Accessoires und Taschen. War echt dankbar dort schöné Geschenke gefunden zu haben.

Super Laden als Ergänzung zu Topshop. Vielleicht nicht so ausgeflippt, sondern ein bisschen normaler aber trotzdem sehr trendy! Tolle Schuhe und Handtaschen! Preis-​Leistungsverhältnis sehr gut!

River Island is one of the trendiest places on the high street along with the likes of Topshop and h and m. It offers trendy clothes at high street prices, and always had unique clothes that are unlike anything else you will find on the high street. The clothes are priced very reasonably and I would particularly recommend shopping here if you are looking for jeans or party wear. They offer clothes for women and men as well as shoes. The oxford street branch is the flagship store and has the largest range. The changing rooms are bright and clean and the store’s layout is very clear. This is my favourite river island and I would definitely recommend this to all my friends and make this a must see on a shopping trip to the west end!

I have always maintained that there is nothing wrong with River Island that a tactical nuclear weapon couldn’t take care of.
It’s entirely possible that I’m about 20 years too old to even dare to darken the door of the Oxford Street River Island, but the death stares from the sulky and rude sales staff are enough to phase the less bolshie.
That’s a pity — I love River Island for coats and boots in particular, and find the shoes very comfortable AND fashionable — no mean feat. I’m a fan of their gauzy little going out tops, and love the rocky t-​shirts.
But I’ll stick to any other branch but this one.

A great selection of clothes, a little over priced might I add. Their latest trend is worth following and is usually top notch There are cheaper places to shop but none better the choice in this mammouth!

great clothes, a bit girly, shame the sizes are quite small there and I class as size 16 there and size 14 in other shops, I think their selection of pencil skirts is amazing, dita von teese here I come:), shoes and jewellery are not that great, vests are trousers are really cool

I used to think of River Island as a slightly cheaper high street shop with not as nice clothes but with the occasional brilliant piece of clothing. Now I find that it is expensive, but the clothes still aren’t amazing. Admittedly they have a much larger variety of styles of clothes but it is nothing like topshop but asking similar prices. Admittedly like cutiebabs said, the sales are good but on Oxford Street there are so many people it will take you 10 minutes to get to the front of the sale rail.

This is one of the nicest branches i have visited. Its a decent size with the clothes located on the ground floor, accessories and shoes upstairs and mens downstairs. They have great sales — which obviously go very quickly. The quality of the clothes is really good, which is why its priced as it is. Its also not usually that busy like some stores so its nice to browse around. They have a big range of clothes — particularly eveningwear and daywear. They have one of the best selections of bags that a high street store has to offer. Also their jewellery section is really good too some dazzling earrings.

This sore has a very friendly service with a good standard of clothing at affordable prices always look forward to going into the store.

I Like River Island.
This particular store is good, they have a great selection of clothes, and lots of things are reduced due to the economic downturn (not a good thing!)
The clothes are priced quite well and are very stylish and up-​to-​date with the current fashions.
As the store is on Oxford Street it is busy, but wasn’t too bad when I went. The staff there are friendly and the stock levels on shelves are maintained well

Ich liebe River Island!!! Es ist anders als Topshop, vielleicht nicht so hip, nicht so in, nicht soo voll. Eine Kette wie H&M, angesagte Mode zu mehr oder weniger fairen Preisen. Wobei, was sind schon faire Preise in London?
2 Etagen. Eine für Ladies, die untere für Jungs. Viel Accessories und Schnick schnack. Jeans, Shirts, alles was man so braucht. Fest in meinem shoppingprogramm ;o)

Different styles, wide variety to choose from, from day time to evening wear, nice clothes and nice store layout.
Near the station, easily accessible with nice & helpful staff.
A good store to go to anytime you are in the West End, or anytime you are looking to buy clothes for yourself; male or female; the styles are really great; you can dress up the casuals for a night out, and dress down the party wear for a casual look, enjoy.

This store is quite good, they have a lot of stuff in there. Last time I went it was for Xmas sales and I found few tops I loved and thought the price was great, but staff wasn’t very helpful. And the state of the shop was just sad, like if you walk into Primark. Also you can’t really try anything on as the queues are just murderous. Inspite of this all River Island is still one of those shops to go when you need something glam!

Located on Oxford street, in the heart of London. Quirky store. Great for mens and womens clothes. Very trendy, can be quite pricy but the quality of the clothes is excellent. I went there recently for the sales and the prices were fantastic! I ended up spending quite a lot of money but ended up coming out with mountains loads of clothes, accessories, shoes and perfumery. They have also started launching pets clothes and accessories. Great for all you dog lovers!
