Watford's Toys R Us store was loved before it shut in 2018 - now the firm is making a High Street comeback.

The famous toy shop has revealed it is returning to high streets as part of a deal with WH Smith.

This marks the first time the retailer will come back as a store since 2018, when its popular Watford shop closed its doors.

The store was based in Century Park retail park and has since been replaced by an Aldi supermarket and a KFC.

Toys R Us is currently selling thousands of toys from more than 100 different suppliers online but now it will be bringing stores back.

And it's good news for families as new branches could be popping up within WH Smith stores by next year, The Sun reports.

The paper says the company is signed on for a year-long trial at least, beginning with nine new openings during the first six months.

However, it's not yet been revealed where the shops will open up initially.

There is a WH Smith branch inside the atria Watford shopping centre as well as in Rickmansworth.
