T & G Allen Ltd at Whitley Bay is a place I have used on many occasions. Whether it’s stationary, new school stuff for the kids when they start the new term or a gift for one of my friends you can find so much here. There’s three floors and the upper sells lovely giftwear. The ground floor is stationary and a huge selection of greetings cards and gift wrap. Downstairs there are toy’s galore, my kids love down here and I am regularly dragged down stairs to the toys so they can have a rummage. The staff are always friendly and the store is very central on Whitley Road so very easy to get to.

This place was my favourite shop to visit as a child. I loved the books and toys selection. My kids love to go now, and the basement is like an alladins cave of toys. This is a Whitley Bay institution, long may it thrive.
