Reviews of Lion Walk Shopping Centre

P. P.

Yes it's a shopping centre but with a difference. It is well stocked with all the city centre shops but is wrapped in fantastic architecture from ground to rooftops. Lots of interwoven paths lead the shopper around and at nearly every corner is a building of interest from ancient to modern and the odd church. Full of cafes to take a break and plenty of seating dotted around, I find my shopping trips all the more pleasant due to the surroundings. Fully recommended for your shopping trip in Colchester.

R. H.

Was clean and not too busy with an OK range of shops. Easy access to surrounding shops making it a pleasant day out shopping. Loved this section decorated with hanging bird cages with knitted birds in them. Very clever. Parked at the NCP behind Fenwicks. Roughly 5min walk from there (assuming you don't stop to do or browse all the cool stuff in Fenwicks!!)

L. W.

Good shopping center. Only wanted Primark. Really on a sight seeing trip. Handy to have shops near so many other attractions and open space.

A. G.

Lovely area in the center of the city! Always kept lovely and clean. Nice load of shops and of course can't forget the Red Lion Hotel there! (Also a Red Lion hair dressers) not that I have yet to visit. I do remember when stayed in the red lion hotel they bragged about having a hair dressers with prices etc. Worth a visit! :)

H.

Colchester wasn't crowded when I went and it was very clean, in retrospect. I don't remember seeing any litter. Parking was easy (multi storey) and not too expensive to park for a whole day considering the proximity to the centre. The centre itself wasn't too hard to navigate. There's lots of choices in shops, both the smaller independent, (giving Colchester some individually) and the larger chain stores - everyone expects. This, I believe gives a good variety for everyone. Prices of items I looked at appear to be normal and not inflated. It was a pleasant, easy day and all the shop owners/staff were friendly and helpful. Will go again.

D. M.

Lovely little shopping area. Some shop units were empty but had some nice boutique shops with beautiful items. An easy cut through to get to all the shops and was tidy and we'll kept.

M. C.

Really enjoyed spending the day in Colchester and the Lion Walk Shopping Centre. So much to see in a small area as well as visiting the castle. Lovely country feel. Will be coming back again.

L. M. (.

A very nice composed shopping centre where you find almost all you need for daily shopping and more. The atmosphere is charming with buskers playing music and with several nice cafés, pubs and restaurants where you can enjoy a pint or a snack after shopping. Visit Colchester and enjoy Lion Walk

J. C.

Favourite place in colchester. Cute cafés and bakeries. Nice place to walk around. If it’s raining that’s not a problem since there is a roof.

S. M.

Always enjoy a visit to Colchester for some shopping & although like most towns, a lot of shops have closed, Lion Walk has stayed vibrant

M. G.

Really nice shopping centre, really clean, visited as everything was closing but felt really safe.

R. R.

Pretty good, shops do come and go quite a bit here. The best shop is definitely game however :-)

c. c.

Always a pleasure to visit Colchester. Tidy clean and well kept streets and some great shopping, bars, restaurants and historic walks

K.

Still a few shops left that are worth a visit but seems to be less every time

S. H.

Plenty of shops, bars and food bars. Very good shopping centre with access to main town centre shops a short walk away

A. M.

A pleasant walk around this shopping area. Men, you can wait in one of the many drinking establishments on the High street.

Z. A.

Love shopping here 🥰🥰 There are numerous stores here ranging from M&S, Primark, The body shop, Boots, river island, Next, JD sport and many more….

M. W.

Typical town centre arcade. Very nice

D. T.

Brilliant, had all the shops I love, made a lovely day wandering round shops and very pretty surroundings

E. M. (. A.

A brilliant testimony to the local churches coming together as one family on Good Friday for a walk of witness through the town, meeting here with the Kingsland gospel choir, my friend and I were invited to create some live art, a lovely lady was signing throughout the songs, talks and prayers and the Bishop of Colchester prayed a blessing over us all. An amazing day!

N. W.

A couple of empty shops unfortunately but the walk has an ambiance that leads you into the heart of the town. Decorated beautifully

K. B.

Wen't to get a few bit's for my son to return to school,got everything which was needed.

d. w.

Its near to several car parks. Its a nice thoroughfare with Coffee options, Shopping for Clothes, Gifts, Food, large Boots the Chemist. There's seating, public toilets, nearby pubs and restaurants, Jewellers, Health Store, Hairdressers all you really need in a very small area. Easy!

J. D.

Loads of shops and places to eat and drink. Really really pleasant!

S. V.

Not a bad shopping area if a bit generic.

C. M.

Clearly a well look after spot in Colchester City. Lovely walk which I do most days through here

n. g.

Great pub nice beer back to shopping

J. C. C. R.

Very nice open place to be with kids, and also in town centre.

J. J. T.

Beautiful place for a shopping experience in town.

P. R.

I was impressed with this shopping centre, it was clean well stocked and had a good choice of goods

G. M.

Like Colchester shopping has everything you need and more.

D. H.

Good range of shops and cafes

A. D.

Visited piercing by Jodie today to get my daughter's tongue pierced. Very clean and professional.

a. p.

Lots of shops all clean and tidy

G. S.

Great place for shopping, variety of shops. Plenty of places to drink & eat. However, I chose the lavazza coffee booth & the coffee was lovely, the donuts dry & tasteless - worst I've ever had & the woman serving the day I visited had a poor quality customer service rude & attitude stank - **Avoid at all cost**

V. W.

Lion Walk generally speaking is full of shops compared to other parts of the town that has many vacant closed stores. At the time of my visit there were many people around shopping of opting to sit and people watch.

D. J.

Quaint shopping walk through from High Street, colourful with so e interesting small shops.

D. M.

Lot's of different shops there .Well worth a visit

N. L.

So clean and vibrant beautiful walk through

J. I.

I really love walking through Lion Walk. There's always a new display or a new shop opening. You're transported to a secret, cozy shoping experience just by walking through.

T. K.

Great atmosphere and decorations. However not many vegetarian options! Must check out the Pasty Shop.

T. M.

Charming town centre with original stores

P. O.

Excellent shopping area history, small and large shops in historic setting. Reflects a lot about Colchester itself. Decades of history from 43 AD. Strangely, its a bit like the lanes at Brighton...dont tell anyone though otherwise the place wil l be flooded with tourists .

C. G.

Great to see the area busy in the sunshine. Great coffee in Hotel Chocolat. A wander around M&S. Walk home.

C. S.

Very clean. Some staff were very polite

K. B.

Went to marks and spencers. Had a latte and cream scone how lovely they were. It was clean and staff friendly. Also when people left the tables were clean straight away well done m&S

A. B.

Great layout nice shops all around. Friendly people

P. S.

Very good transit conduit to your desired shop or shop's. Good access from car park and lower street via lift or staircase. One-way pedestrian traffic system in place, felt safe. Not everyone is compliant. Take care keep safe. Enjoy

D. H.

Lions Walk like much of high street retail is reaching the point where the offer falls below the "worth a visit" mark which is absolutely no adverse reflection on the shops that are trading there.

D. G.

Random shops that are seldom busy. Needs a better selection to pull in punters.

C. S. C.

Great way to spend your time in Colchester

M. H.

The entrance from the main road was beautifully decorated for Christmas with lots of tables and chairs to use for a takeaway coffee etc. Magical atmosphere for children!

L. C.

Got a Bong, Very nice

K. “. C.

Lion walk looking very festive. Also very busy, but feels safe at the same time.

G. T.

Absolutely LOVE Lion Walk, cannot believe the hidden gem called Dgsl.ltd, Clean handbags, boots, trainers and shoe shining

G. C.

Centre of town Easy place to meet.

N.

Its been year's since I was here. But I did find some lovely little shops. The shoe shop was divine.

g. c.

Looks stunning and love browsing around the little independent shops, my fave part of the town 👍

M. E.

A very good selection of shops selling a good variety of products and tha passage way looks trendy, and note not one burger bar there, thank goodness..!!

C. N.

In the heart of Colchester. Most of the amenities,shops and outlets are there. Paved and clean. Folks kept their distance too according to the laws of the time. Btw the three Mobile outlet was cool and the staff was courteous too.

P. C.

Very nice place to shop

J. B.

A happy place with great shopping.

R. E.

Great place to meet friends and listen to live music from STD and have a coffee from artisan

J. S.

Nice little shopping area of Colchester, even if you just want to grab a coffee and watch the world go by. Or looking for a public loo.

F. B.

I love the environment of this place. The way how they decorate it, the smell of old rustic buildings, it's something that you cannot find somewhere else. Perhaps this is because the building itself was built hundreds of years ago. The shops are not that popular, but I went to some and their staffs were friendly. I really hope the place will be kept as it is.

D. T.

Recently visited Colchester after moving away - the area looks a lot cleaner and has a lot of new shops. Including Primark, Cafés and some independent shops.

J. G.

Nice to see people are now coming into town again ,,I had a lovely time in the , White Stuff shop , assistant was helpful and patient, first time I have been in and will certainly go back , had my last look in Debenhams, so very sad , it was my favorite shop .

M. B.

Lacking a good atmosphere, many places to eat a few cheap clothing brands. Good to see Clinton's, M&S and Boots still around.

A. E.

Just got it yesterday from Here. Its cool place For shopping

A. W.

Little busy at most times but nice place, fairly clean.

M. C. J.

Lovely continental street market today, with stalls stocking fresh and lovely foods and fish, vegetables and goods from Europe & local farms. The weather today in the 30c ☀️☀️ so people are smiling and looking good with it! Colchester is a beautiful Garrison Town with history and good vibes. The precinct is busy and has many household names businesses. Security is excellent both CCTV and bodies on ground. Excellent parking facilities available for £3.50 all day which truly helps. Castle Park a few minutes walk to have lunch with nature and green tree's open spaces. Friendly atmosphere and safe for children and young adults alike. Treat yourself this summer and head into the historic town of Colchester Essex!!

C. H.

This centre is a good shopping experience.with loads to see and easy access

j. t.

Really nice shopping center with plenty of ranges and stores to choose from. very up market but has something for everyone. Has a very Debenhams feel to it as you walk through the doors, very open and welcoming. Staff are friendly and professional and always willing to help. Could very easily spend a few hours walking round

M. R.

Red lion walk is one of colchester timeless places well worth a visit to eat have a coffee or to just find some bargains I would highly recommend .

l. s.

It was OK, quite the micsture of old and new but all towns are just becoming clones of each other

M. K.

What makes lion walk shopping centre well it's Primark, yes not everyone's taste but when your on a budget they have some good stuff. Love the fact that they moved the market stall holders around to this area as brings more foot fall through this area. X

C. P.

Since covid,very few of the shops are trading on website,other than Fenwicks ,White stuff. I TRIED TO SHOP AT H Samuel.... nothing written on it,nothing about website useless for Valentines day and birthday gifts.Colchester is lagging behind in these difficult trading times.

L. w.

Plenty of little trinkety shops to look at. Plenty of local restaurants, coffee shops with a local main high Street. Colchester town is very old which gives it its charm due to its little roads with little shops every where. Well worth a visit if your not looking for your mainstream shops and your trying to find something that little different.

P. O.

Good range of shops

D. H.

Love the market and the shops in the centre are always happy to help. I used to work in this centre as a store manager and the community spirit between shops is lovely!

D. J.

Seems no control over one way system or over people smoking in enclosed walk through to high street. Reasonable selection of shops all open and controlling their in store environment well.

s. b.

Spacious good shopping, parking near by.

S. P.

Very clean and tidy - thanks to the personnel collecting the litter but sadly too many cigarette ends in the floral displays

E. S.

Good choice of shops, but as an older person . It needs more places to sit down. In between shops.

B.

Very clean to walk through nice shops

m. a.

Good range of mainly high street shops. Bery busy at weekends.

R. “. C.

This is a tidy and well layed out medium sized shopping centre in the heart of historic Colchester. Although there are quite a few vacant premises, the choice of shops is very well varied, from large high street retailers to small independent retailers. Housing most of the main mobile phone operator stores and is situated within walking distance of the main car parks and main bus routes to surrounding areas of town.

G. S. y. s. i. t.

Very nice shopping center😍

C. S.

Great selection of shops all within easy walking distance

m. w.

There are a range of clothing shops such as a decent TopShop, a large but well kept Primark, River Island. There are other good high street shop. Lovely boutiques. Ultimate bonus - very clean public toilets!!!

H. D.

Our favourite shop - myself and 2 daughters (11 & 15). EXCELLENT prices and clothes well made and fashionable but can be smart enough for work.

P. W. D.

First late night Christmas shopping, much quieter than I anticipated but a lovely Christmas atmosphere. We went for a coffee and hot chocolate to warm up and then browsed the shops.

J. M.

Nice little bunch of shops, been in Colchester a while and didn't even know they was all here.

C. W.

Great shop they always mostly have good deals on especially the deodorant and shower products

I. P.

Great place. Centre security staff excellent, their customer skills are brilliant, unless they catch you stealing then they become super efficient. I felt secure and safe knowing the 2 guys were there

H. W.

Such a shame Colchester is not a great place to shop now all cafes coffee shops and a castle and park which is nice for visitors but not much else on offer

L. T.

Offers a great selection of different shops and stalls to shop at - Usually kept very clean which benefits the nicely designed aesthetic of the centre. Great for meeting up with friends.

T. A.

Lovely clean shopping centre that has a good layout of various stores to browse around or even take 10mins to relax with a nice cup of coffee or something to eat, stores include Clinton's, Primark, Costa, 3, Boots, card factory, Holland & Barrett, EE, Danny's Bakery, plus many more.

K. “. L.

Nice area of town, alot of large companies located there. Plenty of local smaller ones dotted between. The shops cater for all different budgets and preferences and leads to more either end. A few cafés around, some bigger chain ones (Costa, starbucks). Surrounding area has almost endless choices of places to eat as well as some food stands in Lion Walk. It's all kept clean and feels very modernised. Good for a relaxed shopping day or a quick pick up.

e. t.

Lots of shops and cafes around. Perfect environment and there are many restaurants there too! Many famous shops like H&M and Primark are there and lots of others. I recommend this place for tourists. I loved it so much.

N. C.

Lion walk is a lovely area to do a bit of shopping in, get some food in and also just have a sit and chat with friends and family. Body shop, new look, river island and Costa are just a few of the shops available in the area :)

J. B.

Fitted in with the town great and with a nice range of shops. Street food outside was amazing and with a nice atmosphere. Colchester seems to know how to do a city centre well, mostly.

S. D.

We went into Colchester to visit Primark in Lion Walk. Town centre generally very quiet. Not many shops but plenty of places to grab a bite to eat.

S. C. (.

Plenty of shopping and some independent retailers, nice to see fewer coffee shops for once in a town

S. 1.

They have done all they can to keep shoppers safe, some shoppers need to read signs and think of others

h. c.

I only walked through this space. Though signs are clearly marked on the ground a lot of people clearly don't understand what left hand side means 😢 Plenty of hand sanitising stations

K. “. C.

At the time of this writing, Lion Walk is incorporating a one way walk system. Most people adhere to the provisions in place, however, there are a few Covidiots. Many shops have reopened while also having one way systems within the stores. Street vendors are in operation. This furthers some congestion, as social distancing lines aren't pre-marked. Due to the one way system and certain barriers, you may need to double back on yourself to get to your desired shop. During this Covid-19 pandemic, with anything, allow yourself extra time to shop and browse. Please be considerate of other shoppers waiting to get items.

H. V.

This shopping centre really deserves the full five stars as there's such a great variety of top end, modest and humble shops. Great places to eat, be entertained and shop for some unusual items.

K. C.

Very nice

J. A.

A good selection of shops. Colchester is the old Roman capital of England and is full of character with its old buildings and quaint streets. It also has plenty of bars and restaurants.

p. l.

There are lots of really good shops here. I went into Boots and bought some toothpaste and those dental floss sticks which I much prefer to regular dental floss.

B. D.

Clean and tidy with plenty of seating areas, although none have rain cover. Good shops and pretty flowers. Sometimes there are popup stalls and food places.

D. K. L.

Great experience, quaint and full of boutique shops

N. Y.

Loads of shops shut!

G. O.

Lots of great shops

J. M.

Good amount of shops

E. S.

The cleanest part of Colchester, it is a lovely part of town to see and shows the history of the place. Lion Walk can also be one of the quieter places in town to sit and eat thanks to the cafe's available.

K. B.

Great lot's of shops

K. V.

So many shops and places to eat. Great atmosphere and the secret garden in the square is beautiful 😍

E. J.

They really make an effort in lion walk. Always nice and. tidy.

H. J.

There is a vape shop there. I kid you not I saw a fat woman with a child in a pushachair in there. The poor child was immersed in a pall of vape smoke. Mum just stood there while two gat guys in sweat pants discussed vape scents with her. The poor child. Immersed in addictive smoke, surrounded by awful people basically selling some acceptable drug for the child to passively inhale. It made me feel sad. But there are plenty of nice shops that sell stuff. Lot's of history too.

J. C.

A very good place for shopping as there is shops such as Primark, Whsmith's and more and parking nearby which is wheelchair accessible with a lift and has a close pathway to the main high street. But there are no pubs or restaurants in Lion Walk.

A. W.

Always shop in lion walk colchester people are nice and friendly shops have everything you want and more

R. M. D. (.

Lion Walk is not really a "shopping centre". It's more of a focal junction with shops like Primark and Topman, River Island and so forth. The atmosphere is pleasant in general but it can get quite busy at peak hours of the day. I especially like to visit "Vape & Juice" which is located in the thoroughfare to the high street.

G. M. N.

A great place to walk around and shop

m.

Wide range of stores to choose from and a nice German style hotdog stand on the plaza.

D. S.

The store was roomy and had plenty check outs including self check out

A. Y.

Always looks lovely and welcoming.

R. A.

Had a nice stay at the hotel dating back to 1450!!!!!

B. W.

Great high street shops an market stalls. There is even a Primark

P. O.

Went to Game to pre order my PS5, am almost giggling like a kid before Christmas, the staff seemed genuinely excited and were a pleasure to talk to.

K. S.

Easy access to shops and covered area to avoid rain. Repositioning of fast food kiosk's now causes a bottleneck in the main through fare tho.

I. F.

Like Colchester for shopping 🛍 but found it this time to be looking a bit shabby and car parking charges have increased alot.

S. H.

Visited as part of a Treasure Trail. Lovely shopping centre. Nice atmosphere.

S. D.

A symptom of the death of the high-street by business-rates and credit-crunched consumer spending - with a range of undistinctive specialist stores in fitness powders and vaping, as well as hobby-stores without a distinctive USP which means they’re here one day and gone the next...

A. S.

It's very quiet these days. Nobody has any money. And all shops closed down. Soon we will all shop on line. With no human contact at all. #sad.

J. L.

I used the Amazon 'click and collect' locker and I will be using it more often when I next order

S. M.

Love Lion Walk shopping place, when it snows in winter, I swear you can almost hear and see horses down there.. The Red Lion Hotel on Lion Walk is a great place to eat and stay, with more olde world magic than any other Hotel in Colchester..

G. S.

Too many people for my liking sorry covid is still here just hiding behind everyone or in them?

K. O.

Absolutely beautiful in wonderful Colchester

T. B.

What I would call the heart of Colchester's shopping. River island, boots, Primark, Topshop, WH Smith's, Body shop etc.. all the high street shops, just not on the high street. Has a fantastic German hotdog stall as well.

B. M.

Quiet, some shops gone, but accessible none the less.

R. R.

Nice range of shops, clean area too.

K. V.

Just walked through to get into town centre but lovely shops there

M. S.

Very nice place for shopping or just for a walk.

D. K.

Lots of empty retail slots but town centre was full of people.

i. n. a. t.

Get rid of the homeless crack heads it's quite a nice place to go . Great selection of shops . And it's been kept up to scratch lately and is nice and clean

R. K.

Superb array of shops just bloody awkward trying to deliver to them with colchesters stringent parking and access policies etc

A. T.

I went on a very busy day but im very happy that lots of shops were open

T. L.

OK, quite dirty and closed in but some good shops.

R. B.

Good variety of shops and plenty of space to move about.

d. f.

Classic place offer modern stuff

a.

Better than most of the shopping areas in Colchester

L. B.

Beautiful shops,the Deputy Manager in Poundland is very customer friendly

C. “. S.

Picturesque little walk. Shops are pricey but appropriate for what they are. Colchester is lovely as a whole and this is well worth a look if you are in the town

T. C.

Pretty good selection of shops including primart boots river island and topshop/top man. Clean and modern but probably not worth travelling from far to visit. Take a look at the small boutique part that joins the highstreet

F. F.

Love walking through Lion Walk.

M. C.

Visited the primark there

Z. S.

Bored? Hi tech strawberries, tasty perfumes and good looking smartphones are waiting to be bought... Challange time - 20min... OK... You can go back home now...

T. H.

Fantastic place to shop with amazing variety of stores

p. p.

Great place to shop eat and drink

A. s.

Good range of shops, easy for pushchair and wheel chairs to use, restrooms, nice places for food and snacks including a lovely independent bakery "Danny's Bakery"

R. m.

Nice old part of town but most of the shops have sadly now closed due to ridiculous rates. Landlords are pricing trade out and you do have to wonder what will happen in the future.

D. C.

There's a good variety of shops here which cater for a general market, including Marks and Spencers and a useful branch of WH Smith's, which has a good selection of stationery and a modest bookshop upstairs. There is also a large branch of Boots, which has a comprehensive photo service and print-your-own kiosks. Unfortunately there is no longer a Mothercare and there is no proper bookshop in Lion Walk. On the plus side, there are public loos and they are free and kept in a reasonable state. The nearest carparks of any size are 7-10 minutes walk away and they are pretty expensive, which has a depressing effect on footfall. The local library is just outside Lion Walk.

K. M.

It is light bright and has assortment all join covenant walk from out door and circular car parks leading easily to other sections of shopping areas great

P. H.

Good range of shops, mostly highstreet but if your willing to go a little bit off track you can find some more interesting ones

J. E. L.

Went in here not expecting to get what we wanted ( cap for my husband), but was very surprised to find exactly what we wanted

P. J. S.

Great place but it's a scam! All I saw was humans walk.

A. W.

Pure British townside shopping mall. Holding a lot of traditional color

l. j.

Good place to purchase pretty much everything from clothes to a mac book. Lots of variety in stores and the staff are friendly too

S. D.

Busy and clean, hustle and bustle of shoppers and plenty foodie stalls dotted around

J.

Normal shopping day

S. B.

I really like the selection of stores and what's available in colchester, it just looks really depressing. There's something about it. Also, toilets are incredibly difficult to find.

D. B.

Okay. Other than some people seem to have lost the ability to walk in a straight line whilst wearing a mask!

D.

We've stayed in Colchester for our holidays and I've gotta admit that certain parts of the city like the Lion Walk is, are pretty eye-catchers. Nothing out of the ordinary though.

L. C.

Good shops to choose from but can get very busy, very clean area.

O. I.

This discovery was probably one of the best on my last visit to London. It hard every brand I liked shopping with and ar discounted rates

D. A.

Good range of shops and well organised - only criticism is when it rains the walkways are very slippery

A. H.

Lovely place.

L. T.

Always very good shopping in Colchester, if you can't find it here then you probably don't need it. Big Boots, WH Smiths, Game and a Primark coming soon.

L. S.

Great for shopping but no one abides to the keep left scheme for covid.

A. T.

Great vegetable stall on Fridays on corner where trinity square meets Pelham lane. Fresh reasonably priced seasonal produce.

G. B.

One of the older shopping precincts but still good, with a range of shops to suit all budgets and age groups. Pedestrianised so only people get in your way!

D. W.

Nice & bright & fairly newly renovated. A differe variety of shops. My only negative is a few empty shop units down there!!!

P. B.

Great shopping centre its all you need in a little town like Colchester

F. c.

Great place to shop nice and friendly and bustling

P. S.

One of the best shopping centres I've ever seen. So clean tidy and easy to get around, it's a real gem.

P. B.

There's nothing there anymore!

J. S.

Quite busy, nice to see some of the shops open.

S. M.

It doesn't change much but it has a Primark there now so will obviously become bewilderingly popular.CHAVTASTIC!

J. V.

Really lovely flowers and cute shops

D. N.

They done well to keep people apart for the covid , loads of footfall , but there are still people that can't read which way to walk ? Does not take a genius to follow the signs on the floor

M. G.

Great shopping mall, very helpful staff is always around.

L. m.

Good variety of shops, good social distance guidance

R. N.

Nothing special some thing week in week out could have more variety with stalls and not just for Christmas and the odd event.

J. S.

It's nice enough, shops are easy to find with plenty of places to grab a coffee or meal,

H. J.

A bustling place to shop

L. L.

Nice range of shops. To an out of towner, I didn't think the entrance was very obvious from the High Street.

O. A.

This is the definition of a shopping centre. Lots of stores are situated here. It has free wifi and speakers around for music.

I. v. B.

Nice area to shop, where you can get all daily essentials

C. F.

Nice shopping area. Some good shelter if it's raining. Some good independent shops as well as large chains.

N. M.

I find colchester really disjointed as a town. Lots of going around in what seems like circles to see all the good shops. No logic to it's set up.

A. L.

Free WiFi, you can't complain. Nice array of shops. Primark is a must

B. K.

I love Lion Walk I always go down their to shop I've lived in Colchester Essex for years .

D. M.

Would be a lot better if under cover

D. H.

Great place to go shopping. A lot of people smoking weed though. Constant smell as you walk around.

K. M.

Good range of shops for any shopping occasion, often quite busy though!

R. B.

Nice day out shopping

C. W.

Nice covid safe at 8:30 am lovely and quite

J. J.

Very good and a wide range of shops to choose from and good day out as well

S. U.

Lovely parade of shops situated in the square of colchester

J. C.

It is what it is. Not helpful? So is not having a list of what's on there. There are loads of cute shops there or close by, as well as some nice cafes.

O. V.
