"Not just a shopping center, although it has all the big names, including the biggest New Look, Argos, BHS, Debenhams, House of Fraser, Marks and Spencers, Next, Robert Dyas, Woolworths and so many more… 300 in total!
There is also a large cinema where you can watch all the latest releases and even does children's parties! Or just sneak in for some popcorn to munch while shopping!
Its easy to get to, just off the M25, Parking is no problem unless it's the lead up to Christmas, there are 13,000 parking spaces- all free!
There is also great disabled access and a good shop mobility scheme.
Lots of the big names are there to eat and lots of smaller places, there is a little café by the main stage which does lovely jacket potatoes which you can eat while listening to performances from various stars.
This place is well worth a visit at Christmas if only to see a gigantic Christmas tree, beautifully decorated differently every year with matching garlands throughout the place
Most people rush around and don't explore the market downstairs, nor do they slip through the unmarked door to find a wonderful lake (its not called lakeside for nothing!) or hire out the swans for a ride. Shopping and boating... what could be better!"
