The Beckton Triangle Retail Park is a good place to go if you do not want to deal with crowds and…read morebusy shopping centres like Lakeside. It is easy to get to at the connections of A13 and the A406, it is about 10 minutes away from the Canary Wharf district. I started going there for office purposes to buy Stationery but then just discovered the Next Outlet and the Boots Outlet towards the rear of the retail park - it is my weekly haunt, as I go to rummage through the Next store and pick up work clothes for as little as £1 during sales periods. I now also buy all my makeup, cosmetics, perfume and shampoos from the Boots outlet which are between £.50p and £2.50 each. I picked up lots of N07 eye shadow makeup and lipsticks for 50p each. there is absolutely nothing wrong with them at all. There is an Argos, Maplins, Pets at Home, B&Q, PC World and other stores around. It is a 5 min driving distance to Gallions Reach which has all the high street labels all in an excellent and easy to get to location.

This a really hard to find retail park but well worth the trouble. Theres a boots clearance, 'next' to nothing, a JD clearance and a massive Woolworths clearance shops Matalan and also a gardening/DIY type shop all selling ridiculously cheap bargains that are either end of line or past seasons stock.

Have you seen the amount of prepared food here? Salads, wraps, hummus, grilled chicken and egglant....and don't even get me started on the amount of packaged cakes they have here. They also had this strawberry-lychee drink that lasted me through the week. And TONS of pre-packed fruit. It's a traveler's dream! So much food, so much selection! And, of course, my personal favorite, a gin and tonic - in its own can! Can someone introduce that in the states? Thanks. I just wished they were open past 6. We basically had to rush here after work and pray they'd still be open.

I had been shopping in M&S last 2 weeks and even changed foreign currency 2 Saturday ago then…read moreyesterday Sunday I was there dressing down and quite casual; I was downstairs trying to exchange for UK currency and I felt a very strong discrimination against me being Asian as the cashier in the M&S bank asked me for my postalcode where I stay in Guilford and I didn't remember so I told him if I have all passport and UK resident card it is all should be required;and if he checks out the USD bills I handed over to him and no indication of counterfeit should be sufficient. I had raised this with the manager name Tom and he just ignored my concerns. I feel strongly that M&S is discriminated and judges people based on how they look. After leaving M&S had tried Thomas Cook and they told only passport or UK ID is required but no postal code is required. I had decided to go do Debanhams by the river and much better exchange rate and more friendlier service. All was provided was my passport. Therefore going forward I refuse to shop and associate with M&S as strong sense of discrimination against minorities and judging against how people look.

Second, who can beat their $5 meal deal where you can pick through an assortment of sandwiches or pastas, a side, and a drink. If you were to add it all up retail, it would probably cost you about $8. The sandwiches are actually really good, my favorite was the chicken avacado with a pesto dressing. For sides i would either pick the crisps or if i want to be healthy then the carrots and hummus. I wish the carrots were crispy though, most of the times they were soggy and limp. This is a great on the go meal or something simple you can easily take back to your hotel if your trying to save a little money. Also for a 2 liter bottle of water for 50 pc, this was a better value than the ones next door at the Sainsbury local.

It does have plenty of self-checkouts too, so that process is pretty quick. Though no fault of their own, this place is like a scene from the walking dead during the week as it is full of the aged, the perpetually unemployed and unemployable, so be careful not to get bitten!
