Really friendly staff, too., Chantal Cornelius, 5 months ago > Called in on the spur of the moment as I got a parking spot directly outside (There is plenty of parking just around the corner on Winchcombe St or in the South City car park). Great selection of quality items (I ended up buying 4 pairs of trousers - with one pair only a dollar!) Was tempted to look at the dvd's, but that would have broken my new years resolution not to buy any more. You can also buy St John First Aid kits here at reasonable prices. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Will call back in again in a couple of weeks., Jumper Collins David, 8 months ago > Lovely staff, super affordable price and good quality:) Wanna come back again very soon!, Danni Jiang, 11 months ago ## Doors - [What stood on this ground](https://www.chch.live/before?lat=-43.5371513&lon=172.6338248) - [On the map](https://www.chch.live/map#-43.5371513,172.6338248,17) - [Documents that name it](https://www.chch.live/documents?q=St%20John%20Shop) - [Christchurch Central City](https://www.chch.live/christchurch-central-city), the suburb - [The OSM record](https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/10580876842), fix it there ## Questions, answered briefly **What is St John Shop?** An op shop in Christchurch Central City, Christchurch. **Where is St John Shop?** 180 Durham Street, Central City, on [Durham Street](https://www.chch.live/street/christchurch-central-city/durham-street).
