Reviews of The Whiteley
a. a.
Apparently very good mall, the aesthetical structure is fine. It has four floors, a scenic stair in the middle and a high and impressive dome. Probably all was built to keep the people attention but something went wrong. The mall looks like almost a ghost place. Very few people Inside, very few shops open and working. Actually this place is almost empty. It's a pity the place has a great potential, the location is good in the middle of a crowded residential area. It's a mystery for me to see this area not working. I gave 3 stars for the aesthetic, if you a real shopping mall go elsewhere.

Whiteleys is a beautifully designed shopping center located between Bayswater and Notting Hill with large hallways, swirling staircases and a large dome filling the space with light. It has been built in the retail space of the former William Whiteley Limited department store, and opened in 1911 as London's first department store.
However Whiteleys is in decline as a large amount of the retail space an shops are empty. The first floor features a combination of Kurt Geiger, ZARA fashion discount stores and hairdressers as well as a Marks & Spencers. The second floor features an H&M, Body Shop, Nine West, Sports Direct and Gap. The food options are limited to a Pizza Express, Costa Coffee and a few independent food stands. The Odeon Lounge and All Star Lanes are the constants that attract the crowds. The shopping centre is open from 8.30AM to midnight, the stores are open from 10AM to 8PM.
Whiteleys is no longer a shopping destination with ample selection like Westfield but a convinient location for locals, movie goers and bowling enthusiasts looking for a non crowded spacious space.

Whitelys, Whitelys what can we say? It's large, impressive and Class 2 Listed.
And semi vacant too these days. Most retailers have departed leaving a shell interior.
But what a place. A place to wander on a Sunday afternoon. Marks&Spencer may have left the scene but you can straddle the balcony, look upwards and admire the circular glass roof. Gaze down and view the pedestrians and co take their time. Maybe take some photographs. Odeon have a cinema on top if you get that far.Some eateries and there are cloths shops like Gap and Zara, coffee too. Take a look sometime soon.

I love here. And I will miss here since it's closing down.. This is the very last months of the shops here. Don't know what's going on next but currently the shops here are super sales.
A. S.
Excellent place to shop for discount clothing and has a dope cinema!
R. M.
Well this is a change, from one of London's key shopping centres, this has become a slightly empty and deserted centre. So sad as I've very happy memories here.
Overall, it's shops are nice, have lots of stock and space and everyone seems very pleasant.
I must give 4 stars to the Pizza express as they were very lovely and the food was great
S. I. D.
Where are the store's ? Half of the shopping center is closed. It is a really nice place but empty
M. P.
This place used to be good, but it is sadly dying. Restaurants upstairs are nothing to write home about and the shops on all other floors are just standard. Cinema is probably the only thing going but it is so expensive!
I guess M&S food is the best reason to go there.
L. R.
We watched Rogue One in The Lounge Odeon by far the best cinema experience we've had.
M. a. e.
It's good place with good cinema
S. B.
Whitley’s used to be a wonderful mall, it’s really really sad to see how empty it is now. Very few shops left, assuming the building will be knocked down and replaced with over-priced new builds... the surrounding area remains fantastic with lots of choice for food and drink.
F. H.
Most of the stores closed but we enjoy Urban Social Wafer and Crip 😍😍😍😍😍
I. M.
It's a quite and cool environment to shop, eat and drink, chat with friends and relax. The high street stores such as Gap, H&M, Sport Direct, Zara and more. There is a cinema on the second floor surrounded by Cafe and Pizza shop. Also there is a public toilet on same floor. It's definitely a place for individuals, family and friends to have fun.
c. w.
Great place to go for anything from shopping to dining or even entertainment. They have something for everyone. They have a wide variety to shop. Food court is good you can find something amazing to eat. It’s for everyone. Good place to go to do your Christmas shopping you can find everything you need.
M. B.
Shopping center looked very quiet (Thursday around 6pm) not necessarily bad thing but very odd for such place. Very spacious and easy to find what I wanted. Nevertheless, I was opportunity for refurbishment. Also it had plenty of space for renting which indicates business in here doesn't go very well (i guess)
J. B. G. (.
It's okay is an apt description. I never choose to shop here unless I happen to be in the area. The cinema is okay, but I only go if I have a deal as there are many others nearby with better prices. It needs serious investment, but in theory could be a really good shopping center.
K. K.
It is a nice mall, but pretty much empty on the second and third floors. There are a Nice Costa and some local cafes on the ground floor, Starbucks, cinema and few restaurants on the top floor. Shopping wise: H&M, Zara, Kurt Geiger, Body shop, Whittard, Cards and gift shop. You can def get bored very quickly...
G. M.
Beautiful building with an interesting array of budget stores ranging from cheap 'never heard before' shops which are always on 'sale' and outlets of big brands like Gap and H&M. The pizza express is very good upstairs as is the Ode on cinema, equipped with the VIP lounge experience, a must for avid cinema fans who want to be dined with great food and cocktails during the film in a comfy chair.
z.
This place was strangely quiet for central London and I would be surprised if some of the shops in there even made money. There are some chains in here as well as independent shops. It is a huge lovely building and could have more done to it than house a few weedy shops. It is good if you want to shop quietly without the annoying other customers or see a film as there is a cinema as well.
B. G.
Shame it's closing - I have many good memories as a child in Whiteley's: shopping for clothes with my mum, eating McDonald's just after cinema with friends, visiting Santa's Grotto in the huge tree they'd place in the middle of the shopping centre in front of the staircase, throwing coins and making wishes in the fountain. Won't forget them.
M. M.
Has a decent Zara and H&M which are handy, but other than that it feels a bit deserted. Could do with a few more tier one shops to bring some life back to the place!
S. C. C.
This place is very spacious. Under a dome roof. Packed with open-plan restaurants, coffee shops, etc. Cinemas, family atmosphere. No crowds of people milling around. Lots of closed-down modern shops on the first floor. A lot of staircases. Place was a bit cold. The downward escalator was not working.
We ate a pizza meal in the pizzaexpress section. One vegetarian and the other salami-ish. Veggie one was delicious topped with baked asparagus. Staff there nice and helpful and friendly, so we left a tip. There were three of us.
N. J.
The building itself is great and located in a nice area of the city. However, a lot of stuff inside is closed down. Not much to do inside - very few people, very dull atmosphere. It would be great to revive such a building as its in a prime location.
D. B.
Ideal way to watch a movie snuggled on a comfy sofa. The magic button that summons beverages and a reasonable selection of hot food makes for a civilized experience. So much better then watching the same movie at your average cinema. As for the shopping centre itself, it opened in 1911. Can't say I took any notice, seemed mostly closed at the time.
Y.
I've been here a thousand times, yet somehow I never get bored. Although it is a bit small for a shopping centre, there are a few good shops and restaurants, including the cinema. I don't understand why it's always deserted.
T. D.
You can find everything there! Yes, It's not so crowded, but for me this is advantageous. Not so many people :) Great shopping center and I can enjoy my freshly ground coffee in Costa coffee. My favorite place! There are many fashion stores and you can buy whatever you need of! 5 stars for Whiteleys
C. T.
It isn't a big shopping center but it's just perfect as it has affordable & "a little nice" what i call relaxed/smooching shopping . However it's closing (apparently to create flats) if that's the case Bayswater will loose something special. Let's hope that's not the case
A. R.
Since it is closing down soon I am giving it 5 stars not for what it is now but for what it was when I first visited London. Very sad to see the demise of this once busy and attractive shopping centre. I guess Westfield just proved too attractive to the west end shoppers.
K. P.
A stunning building, just a shame the stores are all closing
H. P.
I like this small shopping mall. Unfortunately it's future is uncertain as most of the shops is disappearing due to planned flats development. I would like to keep the shops as it is fairly small & hidden》not crowded. Also like the building architecture.
L. M.
I love whiteleys and it breaks my heart to see It so empty. The lounge cinema that is here is amazing and worth every penny. Lovely experience. The restaurants are great and all the staff in the shops take pride in their business across the board. It would be great to see more businesses here as it is great to have in the area. Unfortunately with Westfield opening it has declined from when I remember it when I was younger. It's a beautiful historical landmark and I truly hope they can turn it around as it would be devastating to see it close.
G. S.
Easy to find n good shopping
L. S.
Vast array of shops under one roof that you would find on any high street. Restaurants on the floors above. Parking can be a little pricey and the cleanliness of the the public restroom could be improved.
H. E.
I used to love Whiteleys..but where are all the shops gone?
This place used to be packed with restaurants and many many brands. Now the whole food court on the 3rd floor is empty.
There are a handful of shops on the 2nd floor. Not what it used to be.
But the building is beautiful.
A. M.
This is awaiting renovation into flats, shopping and hospitality. Until then it is a mere shadow of a shopping centre. Hopefully in a few years Whiteley's will improve the quality and atmosphere around queen's way.
S. A.
Amazing building so much of history behind this beautiful shopping centre. There are only few shops still open but nothing to complain about that. It's always clean and tidy 👍😊
D. D.
Nice experience different from your usual trip to the cinema. Put your feet up eat and drink while you watch your film. Arrive about 30 minutes before your film to enjoy the bar area
M. L.
A fantastic old department store & building that has been restored & now has small retail outlets & cinema. Still looks a bit empty & needs more of buzz inside. Interesting history.
D. B.
Im giving it three stars as 3 quaters of the shops were closed and the place looked dead on its feet. other than that I really enjoyed the Starbucks and the Odeon cinema that I visited in my swift appearance at the otherwise magnificent looking 171 year old shopping centre.
G. M.
Beautiful building with an interesting array of budget stores ranging from cheap 'never heard before' shops which are always on 'sale' and outlets of big brands like Gap and H&M. The pizza express is very good upstairs as is the Ode on …
J. L.
This place has 40% occupancy rates. A pity really cos it's such a beautiful building. My friend appreciate their restroom having a changing table that was clean for the baby!
C. R.
Beautiful historical building, now a semi-deserted shopping centre. Go if you like architecture. Soon to be converted into luxury flats, and once it's gone it's gone
N. G.
Whiteley, has been my local shopping mall for many years. Simply because of its peaceful and relaxing atmosphere especially with your little ones.

Great cinema, nice experience.
Felt like being in a business class lounge in the airport. Food was fantastic!
S. A.
As Whiteleys is being sold and deveolped into apartments, many of the shops have closed and there are lots of cheap temporary stores. All the resturants except for Pizza Express and a small cafe on the ground floor have shut. The Odeon cinema is good though because its not busy so you get to see movies on their release date without any hassle. M&S is OK, has nice staff. The Costa has very nice staff.
J. J.
Whitney is closing soon for refurbishment! I use to work there... Nevertheless it has a odéon cinema which shows the latest movies, a food court that is slowly emptying because of the refurbishment. But it has outdoor parking and loads of shop in and out. Close to Edgware Road and Paddington it is kept clean and safe.
It is changing to living accommodation with basement cinema and shops.
I. A.
Lovely shopping centre but few shops open. It's like a ghost town with a few nice shops inside. One might find some good bargains and a couple of good coffee shops.
M. K.
A beautiful building. You can imagine how fancy and opulent it must have been at done point. Currently filled with an odd collection of stores, many going out of business. Sad to see something so pretty decline.
E. G.
This shopping centre is conveniently located in queensway, with zara, h&m, body shop, Costa, marks and Spencer and other small shops. Sadly is rumored to be about to get coverted into luxury apartments. No wonder, the building is quite something
F. M.
Although the building itself is very nice on the outside, several shops on the inside are closed and/or vacant. It seems as if the whole shopping centre will be renovated or even demolished soon.
C. R.
Beautiful historical building, now a semi-deserted shopping centre. Go if you like architecture. Soon to be converted into luxury flats, and once it's gone it's gone
M. H.
Whiteley's used to be a full and exciting shopping centre. Lately lots of leases haven't been renewed. However the he best perfume shop in London and cheaper than duty free.
F. M. M.
Used to be very busy but not bit quite. So it's easier to roam around. Nice outlets. Good shopping. I often visit this place.
c. l.
Probably not the shopping centre of the old days being dwarfed by the super shopping malls of Westfield but it's quiet and there's still a quite a few shops to go around inside. If you like a little 'me' shopping time and finish at the cinema then this is a nice place to start... and for afters... move onto the 'little' china town. Btw if you wanna treat your date or partner to a 5* movie experience then you should go to Odean 'The Lounge' !
M. O.
Love the architecture of the place, once bought by the maltese royal family and since changed hands. This has been a nice royal style shopping centre which will soon undergo a residential conversion. Some less enjoyable aspects of the shopping centre are the cosmetics girls who hound shoppers with lines like "Excuse me, can I ask you a question..." which usually tries to wrangle you in to buy something. And they actually make you very uncomfortable if you refuse them. I'm really not a fan of being hassled or hustled...
R. M.
It was a decent place
It’s quite sad that they shut it down
I live quite close so it was just so easy coming here
It was nice and quite, not too much hassle unlike Westfield.
M. C.
It's big but doesn't contain as many stores as you'd expect for its size. Although there are plenty of restaurants and other boutique shops in the vicinity. It's a time filler if you're in the area and looking to pass the time.
S. A.
There is cinema here. Major stores Gap, Zara, Marks and Spencer and places to go to eat or to have coffee.
Sadly this place will be closing down soon so a lot of the shops ( smaller ones ) have closed
E. B.
Medium-small shopping centre in a 3-storey building, unfortunately not placed in a busy area of the city so most of the time it's pretty empty. Many shops have already closed down and apparently the centre will be closed as soon as 2017.
N. K. (.
A medium sized shopping mall over 3 floors with quite a few shops, although there seems to be less high st chain shops in here, most of the shops close early leaving the restaraunts open till late in the evening, the mall also has public toilets and parking.
I. m.
The lounge cinema is the spot to chill relax watch a movie drink fabouls cocktails or in my case mocktails lol food is great and yes it's a little pricey but who cares...money is made for spending ... please visit soon oh and dress nicely fyi think 1st date!😉
A. M.
Been coming to Whiteley most of my adult life and I have to say that it just doesn't get old, with the massive Shopping Centre not far off I believe and it is obvious that Whiteley still the place to go in Queens Way. Subtle, spacious this place will amaze you with the amount of shops and great customer service in every single shop. A defo top ten to do shopping
H. C. (.
If you looking to make some shopping without with peace of mind and without much fuzz so this is the place for you. In my opinion this place miss the charisma and character of other high street or big shop center like Westfield.
B. T.
It is a spacious mall with a supermarket on the first floor. Convenient with great location. Has restaurants and shopping stores for many needs. Good place to go to find what you are looking for
G. E.
Very sad to see this beautiful shopping centre so under-leased. We weren't sure if it was in the process of being upgraded, but it's not as good as it once was. Visit the upper levels for food and other bargains.
S. R. A. M.
I love it here.. it's quieter than it is use to be.. more relaxing.. and I love the cinema.. I don't mind paying more for the first class experience.. 😍😍
R. H.
Whitley's is now (2018) closed for a multi year renovation. It will eventually reopen as a shopping centre with cinemas, new apartments, redeveloped surroundings, etc.
Whitley's is one of London's Victorian era shopping destinations. It is currently overshadowed by High St Kensington, Notting Hill, and Oxford St shopping districts. Architecturally the building is of note for its historic facade, which will be preserved in the current redevelopment, for its glass domed roofs, and for the sweeping marble and steel staircase under the central dome.
C. W.
A great historic place. Sadly more and more shops closing( including m & s in august. Dear Whiteley's can you reclaim your glory?
M. H.
Love the Odeon 'the Lounge' it's expensive but the way a film should be enjoyed with a nice cold beer and diner brought to you while you reclined as much as you like in a spacious wide leather seat. Great food good service worth the expense.
E. B.
It feels like this shopping centre is suffering from the nearby, and much larger, Westfield shopping centre. Many of the units are vacant which always make a shopping centre feel a little post-apocalyptic. Have't yet made it to the Odeon 'Lounge', but that seems like it might be worth a return visit.
M. O.
Many a moon has risen since I was in here. It's greatly improved. It's been divided up into smaller retail units to take into account the change in the population of the area.
D. L.
Good old whiteleys. Loads of history but not currently in its golden age! However, the cinema is a hidden gem as it's often very quieteaning you can get a ticket for a Premier even on the night sometimes, and it's in good proximity to loads of good restaurants in Bayswater. M&S on site is good too.
C. W.
You can shop in a very lovely atmosphere till late at night staff are friendly this was London's first department store and it has been transformed into a store with lots of different shops in the cinema at the top.
J. L.
Sadly the lack of shopper traffic means a lot if the shops are closing. Otherwise it's a pretty nice little local shopping complex
A. H.
Quite a dated shopping centre but it's got a few good shops. The H & M in particular seemed to have some very good bargains not found in their standard stores.
I.
I’ve been to Whiteleys before and there’s not much to see inside, just a few shops, restaurants and they do have a cinema on the top floor.
A. B.
It's a wonderful building with a lot of history but it's been abandoned by a lot of its former retailers and has lost a lot of its charm and atmosphere. A massive shame as it's so pretty inside and out.
A. F.
Strangely empty given its location. Nice building. Luxury cinema, some decent restaurants and chain stores like Gap, H&M, M&S etc.
J. N.
It would be a four star if it wasn't closing down. Since the opening if Westfield Whitelys has declined and is more like a ghost town! Few shops here and there but otherwise your next port of call is Westfield or Oxford street
l. g.
Really liked this shopping centre whilst growing up its a shame that slowly all shops are closing and what was once a busy bustling meeting point and a nice day out will end up turning in to flats !!!
I. S.
It seems as though many shops have closed in the past year. Many empty shop fronts and very few visitors. Surprised to see the rapid decline.
S. O.
I would love to give whiteleys 5 stars for what it use to be, so I have given it a very generous 3 stars for its history . I still use the shopping centre as often as I can as there are a few shops left and it is local for me. It's fine for a quick coffee, pizza express, cinema, quick shop.. Since Westfields has opened Queensway and Kennington high St has suffered..
S. I.
Although it's not as atmospheric as it used to be years ago when it was one store, this incarnation sees useful branches of Gap, H & M, Toys R us, amongst others. The Odeon cinema chain has a small branch on the third floor.
D. H.
There are less stores in this mall than you'd expect. Not crowded, so it's a good chance to have a coffee inside when it's raining.
T. W.
Acceptable. Useful for getting toys for little uns, food from m&s and not much else. The further up you go, the more stores are boarded up.
F. K. (. M.
The cinema is fabulous. Everything else looks a bit dated. Still a nice bit of #bayswater & #Queensway. #queenswayicerink is less than a 2 min walk and #Portobellomarket and #nottinghill ate a 10 min walk.
A. A.
Don't expect too much. You can find h&m, Zara, sport direct and M&S. There is so-so cinema on the second floor - open afternoons. that's basically all.
j. b.
An imposing Listed Edwardian facade fronts this much redeveloped, rejuvenated and reimagined former grand Department Store.
A fascinating history, seemingly jinxed and suffocating from hubris this mostly deserted emporium broods...meditating on its next proposed incarnation.
M. s.
A beautiful building, it must have been an excellent store in it's hey day - now unfortunatly just a few independant stores now renting a few units.
4 stars for the beautiful building.
C. B.
It is a nice building and some nice shops but unfortunately the place is closing and that's why we find many empty stores.
C. R.
A magnificent building and a ghost shopping centre. Go and see it before they sell and the developers move in. I suspect it will soon become luxury apartments.
R. B.
I've grown up in the area and it was the place to shop in the 90s until Westfield came along it is becoming a ghost town I still love the place and shop there when I visit the area to support all the shops.
N. G.
Whiteley, has been my local shopping mall for many years. Simply because of its peaceful and relaxing atmosphere especially with your little ones.
A. V.
Nice little mall, though most of the stalls are empty. Not bad if you need to grab some new clothes
K. I. b. A. C.
Very empty and not alot of shops to choose from, but its good if youre in the area, or if u like shopping with no crowds.
M. P.
Very nice place to relax and have a coffee. There's a Cinema that looks worth going to too. A couple of shops with good sales on!

The place has a feel of post war desolation with many stores closed down. Whatever happened to city centre shopping centres. Better on the cinema side.
d. j.
Good selection of shops, fairly priced parking, with lots of other shops and stores located closely, if parking use their multi story, its safer and cheaper than the street...
N. K.
Pretty much a ghost town really although there are well known shops within the centre there isn't much going on. Pleasant enough.
A. V.
Really cute supermarket, is not a mall like Harrods or Selfridges. You can find inside stores like Zara, H&M or GAP.
K. U.
My absolute favourite cinema. Over 18s only, a lovely cocktail bar for a pre movie drink, and tasty food served during the movies
V. S.
The ambiance is among the things I like about Whiteleys Shopping Centre. And the store selection in the centre is even better. There is Zara and this is one of my favorite brands ever.
G. E. K.
Wow blast from the past.
Hides a VIPER £30 a movie Cinema offer top nosh and a Pizza Express away from the crowds on the 3rd floor. Kwl!

Whiteleys is a Grade II listed building with an exciting history….
In 1845 an ambitious young Yorkshire man called William Whiteley left his home near Leeds to seek fame and fortune in London.
At 24 years of age and only £10.00 in his pocket, Whiteley had a dream in his heart – to create a store in London that could offer the shopping public everything and anything.
By 1875 he had become an entrepreneur of note – buying up other shops in the area, cutting prices, offering a vast range of goods and other services from clothes and kitchenware to estate agency work.
By 1890, more than 6,000 staff were employed in the business, most of them living in Whiteley accommodation, and working 7am – 11pm, 6 days a week. Whiteley bought massive farmlands and erected food-processing factories to provide produce for the store and for staff catering.
The business obtained a listing on the London Stock Exchange in 1899, when the dream of creating an even bigger store grew nearer reality.
However, tragedy was lurking in the wings. On 24th January 1907, a man claiming to be his illegitimate son murdered William Whiteley in his store.
His two sons endeavoured to keep their father’s dream alive. The Lord Mayor of London opened Whiteleys store, a magnificent edifice designed by John Belcher and J Joass, in 1912.
Initially, it incorporated several of William Whiteley’s old Queens Road shops, but in 1925, the older part of the store was re-fronted and the building line set back by some15ft, to present the imposing, colonnaded façade that still dominates the Bayswater scene today, running well over 500ft along Queensway.
The new Whiteleys opened its doors on 26th July 1989 offering almost anything – women’s, men’s and children’s fashions. Gifts, books, beauty products, fashion accessories, a wide range of international restaurants, an 8 screen multiplex cinema, bowling diner and car park.
Today key grade II listed features still remain, including the sweeping La Scala staircase, the impressive tiered atrium, windows and marble floor. (Source:. Whitleys)

A great building and a alright place to shop love the fact that they have M&N inside the shopping mall as well a nice coffee shop to sit back and enjoy one of the nicest places in London
C. H.
Stress free shopping mall , not many shops just the basic Zara H&M and Gap ideal stores to buy new school uniform from without the hassle from other shoppers
f. s.
as a resident of bayswater, i like shopping here because it's not as crowded as the oxford street! they also have an Odeon cinema!
d. c.
Went to the lounge cinema, it was a great experience loved the comfortable seats and the option of having hot food in the cinema and it being brought to you so none of the film was missed
k. k. s. c.
I love Whiteleys but it's so sad to see it empty. It had character and its own special vibe. I hope it get restored to past glory.
W. S.
Mmmm tricky one in fact sad as lovely shopping centre hardly any shops seems deserted but still go and see ..has good cinema the lounge very overpriced
I. K.
This place is the oldest mall in London, will be converted to a luxury hotel and apartments. Got a Oden cinema with launge. Very historical.
A. U.
Some of the shops offer great deals. However, may be the mall needs more visitors to improve upon ...
L. A.
Unfortunately lost many nice shops during the last few years. But still nice abd quiet place.
Z. A.
Has some good stores but it feels very empty all the time. Good when you need something specific
S. F.
Nice little shopping centre with some selection coffee shop and clothing and also cinema upstairs, good thing is it has parking facility at the back
N. V.
Toppy, but a nice treat and experience. The table service can be a bit of a distraction as is the taking payment at the climax of a movie (45 mins before the end).
N. L.
An oddly laid out shopping mall, some escalators were out of order, no signs or plans either, of the mall to see where you are or the shops that you wish to visit either
S. B.
Went on an urgent shopping expedition after forgetting some clothes on a business trip. Not much choice and a few of the units seem to be empty, but I found what I needed.
R. L.
Shopping center in a historical building, there is very annoying people trying to sell you cosmetics products on the ground floor, there is a cinema Odeon on third floor with restaurants that keep closing down one after the other as not many people goes there to eat.
A. T.
Love the interior of the business building and ODEON the lounge is definitely the best cinema in London. Sad that the stores are just... Sad....
R. B. -. E. k.
Good shopping Centre.
Pass by on my home, chain up my bike go in wander round
Lovely building and like the area.
Great
C. L.
The No65&King Restaurant .
The breakfast has excellent ingredients. The salad is great. The burger is delicious.
T. W.
Great cinema / bar. Never had a burger and a beer brought to my cinema seat before. Pretty pricey though.

Good mall not for extensive shopping but cheap and good quality goods

The best supermarket in the area for buying food and drinks! Very high quality!
Sushi at the entrance is amazing!!!

Good place. However, there is no lots of shops and cafes. So the mull is empty.

I remember this shop when it was Whiteley's back in the 50s. Unfortunately time has moved on and it is now just a collection of small sellers and a few little shops. A bit tacky.
G. B.
Quite disappointing from what was once a vibrant shopping centre to being 3/4 empty of shops. I went to the Odeon Cinema which was okay.

Not very crowded, quiet with a few closed stores. Good cinema although small screens.

Almost no shops, great iconic mall with beautiful exterior and interior but almost no shops. Few to mention Zara, H&M, M&S, Gap
