This place is trying hard, but it's clearly slowly dying a painful death…read more There are virtually no anchor stores, and with the possible exception of Dunnes Stores nothing of note in the centre. BB Muffins is ok for a coffee and a snack, but that's about it. The recession has hit this centre hard, as can be seen from the number of pound shops and empty units. I hope that there is a brighter future for this centre, but it will need a small miracle for that to happen.

Ah the Kingdom Centre. With a real anchor store it still manages to be a pretty vibrant town centre…read moreshopping centre. McDonalds has closed (moved outside the centre), the Co-op department store is gone and Safeways has been away even longer. Scottish Power closing was the end of appliances in the centre as well. There's still some stores worth going for. Dunnes, MacKays and Dorothy Perkins, as well as Peacocks and a couple of cheaper stores mean there's a surprisingly good range of women's clothes. The Boots could be bigger but is adequately stocks. The Co-op supermarket at the top is an OK grocery store and there's a decent Woolworths.

The Overgate is the larger of the two main shopping centres in Dundee, with the other being the…read moreWellgate across town. It offers some of the city's larger shops, hosting the likes of Debenhams, Primark, New Look and Topshop. Half of the mall is really bright and airy as there are windows running down the entire wall. It kinda reminded me of an airport (but nicer, of course). There is parking but we didn't use it. From what I've heard it is pretty expensive. We used Gellatly Street which was £8 for 24 hours. Considering the Overgate charges something similar to this for 5 hours and closes overnight, it looks like we made the right call to go somewhere else. The public toilets in the mall are clean and well serviced so we're all good there. I would definitely recommend coming here instead of the Wellgate - the Wellgate is a horrible, dark dungeon.

It may be because it is a brand new shopping centre and therefore lacks some of what makes the Wellgate so good but whatever it is there is just something missing from the whole experience of shopping here. That said it does have some wonderful shops such as Sports world, Gap and baby Gap, The Gadget shop, Debenhams and the amazing Lush shop which sells all the wild and wacky soaps and lotions and potions you could imagine. You can smell the wondeful scents coming from the Lush store throughout the building and they are rivalled only by the aroma from the Starbucks coffee shop on the same floor. If you are in Dundee then you must visit here as well as the Wellgate, they both have something different to offer.

Although whenever I've visited the car park has been very quiet also meaning the shops are quiet too I hate it when it's busy! There are six shops in the retail park, Acorn Pet Centre, Argos Extra, Au Natural, Dreams, Homebase and Peacocks giving a good selection of premises to visit. There is a small amount of cover along the pedestrian walkway to protect visitors from the elements, although it's more of a nudge in the direction of rain cover than actual real cover.

This is a retail park located close to the market in lanark. The car park is a really good size and…read morethere is always plenty of parking even on a Saturday. The parking is free. The shops inclued Watt Brothers selling a variety of home goods and clothes, Au Naturale that has a up to 70% off sale on at the moment, it sells a range of cushions, curtains, some furniture such as bar stool, Peacocks that sells clothes for all the family, Dreams that has a range of beds. Homebase which is quite a good size selling diy and plants etc. Halfords selling car parts etc. Argos a catalogue shop and last but not least the acorn pet shops which only had a couple of rabits in and some hamsters, fish and birds. The only thing about this retail park is that it is quite high up so it can be quite cold and the weather can change quickly.

I had a rental car and was charged for a parking fine because I had parked there more than two hours apparently. I didn't know there was a limit and because it was a rental car, they added on their own charge. I know that private parking fines are not enforceable in Scotland but my beef was really with the rental company. Suffice to say that this would put me off going there again though.

Clearly I'm not hard to impress. In all honesty though, it's hugely convenient for the type of shopping I do. Right off the main road so it's easily accessible, shops in close proximity and ample parking- it's great! I guess the only annoying thing is the narrow roads, particularly when it's busy it can be a pain to navigate. Overall, the business is not enough to deter me. Five stars!

I don't get the layout, why not just build a mall where everything is undercover? And why is everything spaced all over the place? I think they want us to walk more. Example, toystore next to a H&M but more clothing stores on the other end of the retail park. Bit of a mess, doesn't make sense and does no make for a fun afternoon of shopping. Parking is ridiculous too and people have no patience. If you can head to the high street or buy online I'd reccommend that instead.

It's a lovely stop along the outdoor Buchanan Street pedestrian mall. With four levels, lots of retail, a few restaurants, and one great chocolatier, Princes Square Shopping Centre is worth a few hours of shopping for the ladies on vacation in Glasgow. The facility is just steps from the St. Enoch subway station on the Inner Line if you need a reference to the metro stops.

Not being much of a shopping centre fan generally, I actually really like Princes Square. Granted,…read moreI don't actually do much shopping here but it is nice for a place to take cover on a rainy day and browse the shops. This is an upmarket shopping centre which has more expensive high street shops like Reiss, Ted Baker, Vivienne Westwood and Cos (which I'm still yet to check out!). The centre is certainly decorated to match the crowd it's looking to attract - glitzy, glam and always clean and tidy. I like the size of the centre as well - it's very dinky but still has lots of shops and is easy to navigate. There's also a host of restaurants, bars and cafés but I'll be honest - I've not visited many of them. I ate at Barca probably 4 years ago and also one of the places on the bottom floor but I think that's changed hands. One down side is that if you are dining at a restaurant on the lower level, parents will tend to let their kids run riot in the centre circle which can be a bit of a mood-killer. Princes Square doesn't have a car park due to its location but it is really close to train and subway. If you do really fancy driving, probably St Enoch or Mitchell Street are the closest car parks.
