Inspire

Inspire has a dated sign that well, does not invite nor inspire me!
However, this store has some plus points. A vast array of stock neatly arranged on rails make it easy to have a good root around the pieces on offer. And some of them do imitate higher-​fashion brands. Prices are low, but considering the quality of stock I wouldn’t really expect much else.
There’s a nice range of kid’s wear, although customers in here were evidently mostly seeking women’s clothing.
You can find some nice stuff in here you just have to really root through all the cheap garb.
Definitely not my favourite place to head but a decent store all the same.

I did not find this shop inspiring. However, if you are a plus sized woman, I guess you might. I’m not sure if they meant to specialize in plus sized garments or not, but that’s all I saw and I had a good gander around.
The styles are not bad, and I did see some nice looking maxi dresses, but the clothing is definitely cheap, and like I said if you aren’t bigger than average you probably won’t find much here that will fit you.
Better try Miss Scorpio instead (also inside The Strand Shopping Centre.)

Inspire. Hmm. Well, it’s the largest of the Strand’s clothes shops, and it’s offerings are not too bad, there’s always a couple of nice looking pieces in the window, whether they feel nice is another. but still. There’s also a cute range of kid’s formal wear– it’s hanging right up above so you’d be forgiven for missing it! From far below these suits and dresses look really smart and quite good quality, I think they’d be better dumping all the JLS t shirts and velour tracksuits and promoting these!
The women’s section is the largest but, for the most part, it’s a little tacky and cheap, although there area couple of nice items mixed in.
I think I was put off by the layout and presentation of the merchandise; it looks more like a warehouse or a stock room than a shop floor, perhaps I was also put off by the mother screaming at and threatening her young daughter while paying for her own garments, nice clientele!
