Ah The Galleria, a staple of my miss-spent youth. The shops here are average to pretty rubbish…read more(though they do have a massive Waterstones) and you'll only get one or two of the big name high street places. I never really went shopping here because, while it has a fair number of shops, it never really has anything that you want or need. Guess that could be just me. The cinema is where I spent most of my days, chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool and watching some films after school. The cinema is average price with student discount and with your standard of sugary rubbish to enjoy while watching a film. The cinema screens themselves are good, the Digital screen is awesome, but the chairs and leg room leave something to be desired. It can get quite uncomfortable if you're a tall and are in a packed screening, but this rarely happens here, which is a other bonus. All in all a good place to while a way a fair number of hours with friends or that special someone.

Although it looks huge it takes hardly any time to go around and has nothing to recommend it in the way of differnt shops. They are the same as any high street. A large open area in the centre was laid out as a furniture vendoes. The stuff was ugly..even tasteless..and overpriced. Quite a few restaurants..untried but mostly the usual chains. The only saving grace, for me, was a pleasant cinema complex where we went to see Stardust. So much anticipation..such a disappointment.

I lived in Colombia for 6 months a few years ago and this is not just the closest I've been since I'd say I'm pretty much there when I have a set meal - almuerzo at the back of the market.

The first time I went past Sven Sisters underground station I walk ed right past it. If fact I only found it walking in to a cafe only to find it had a door at the back into this hidden Latino world. There was music playing sunny tunes, with children dancing around, old people just chatting away in Spanish. The place seems more on eone gaint social club than a load of shops. Had a huge meal with fresh juice, followed by a Colombain strong coffee. Than just enjoyed the vibe. Often pop in when passing. Top tip go on saturday for a hair cut, a meal, stock up on books, dvds, music for learning the language. Or just pop into for a coffee or frozen juice on a stick. And if all this eating and drinking gets too much there is always the suit and corset maker to hide the sins.

Central Park sells mid range and some inexpensive clothing and shoes. The sister store next door…read morereplicates the style of Central Park but makes it more casual. The second shop is the Factory Outlet. I like Central Park but I think Factory Outlet sucks. A 7 pound tracksuit is just too chavtastic for me in purple and pink terry cloth. There was a 2 pound jewellery table too ( Central Park had a closer to 10 pound table). Verdict: This shop is okay to have a look around. Central Park can still be a bit expensive and Factory Outlet is total Norf London neighbourhood girls wear for people that listen to Fergie or Mutya.

If you've shopped at a Primark before you know what to expect clothing-wise…read more However, I'm giving this Primark a 4 star rating because the shopping experience is so much nicer than the Oxford Street store: there are no mobs of people swarming the sales floor, no extensive queues and I've even been able to walk into a fitting room without waiting my turn for an hour+. This is because the only people who typically shop here are local residents instead of tourists looking to get as much cheap and stylish clothes as they can carry. Also unlike the Oxford St. location the clothes tend to be placed neatly on the shelves/rails, making it easier to find the size and style you're looking for. And all that means is you can pop in on a Saturday afternoon for a stress-free shopping experience you wouldn't get in central London.

It is one of the nicest stores to shop at and I have had a brilliant experience working in Primark in Woodgreen. Kapil

The main benefit are the stalls, where cheap fruit and veg can be bought although the new owners St Modwen, developers have built a new entrance area and new Asda they still have some way to go to remove the bleak brutalism of the place.

We usually start by getting a coffee for the husband from the vendor with the mobile coffee bar (the machine is in the back of his van), and then wander the markets and end at the Merchant for a cup of tea for me.

A short walk down the hill brings you to beautiful neighborhoods with cobblestone roads and the huge cathedral. It's a lovely area overall.
