Unexpected Visit at WHSmith Sydney International Airport! We had a delightful surprise today when the incredibly talented author and comedian, David Walliams, made an impromptu stop at our store while passing through the terminal.

A huge thank you to David for making our day so special. If you're passing through Sydney International Airport, be sure to visit WHSmith and grab your signed copy before they’re all gone!
