ok, Arndale has everything you would want a shopping centre to have, clothes, shoes, cosmetics, food, newsagencies, gift shops, bargain stores, cinema etc.
But I sincerely dislike the atmosphere, I know it's mainly to do with frequenting this place when I was young with my father trying to find shoes, hours of looking for shoes...blah. It just feels (and looks) unclean and sad.
I used to come here back when I was studying at Regency, very convenient, if you aren't looking for shoes you should be out of there pretty soon clutching what you need. Just try not to get lost, I wandered around in there for a good length of time trying to find the cinema, which by the way has a separate entrance, wish someone had told me that!
I think with a coat of paint and a different demographic, I could quite like Arndale. read more
