The car park (1502 spaces they advertise) is always busy and the through traffic heavy so it's best to go earlier or later in the day rather than at peak weekend hours. Walking around the car park from one side to the other to get to the various stores can be stressful if it's busy and you're lugging bags or trying to corral small children and stop them walking into cars. Shops include a large Next, Boots, Argos, Halfords, Borders with Starbucks, Comet, Currys, JD Sports, Mothercare, M&S and restaurants are Frankie amd Bennys, McDonalds and Pizza Hut. There's plenty of shops to browse around and the stock selection tends to be good. My favourite is Borders where the book selection is excellent, the staff helpful, the children's area bright and welcoming and the Starbucks upstairs a welcome place for a break. There are frequently good special offers on not just books but CDs and DVDs. It's a convenient place for me to go and I can find most things I might want here, it's good for gift and present shopping. http://www.silverlinkshoppingpark.co.uk has a store directory. There have been some changes in the last year or so with Home Bargains being replaced by Argos and PC World replaced by Marks and Spencer.

There really is a lot of unique jewellery and great locally-sourced items that you need to have a look at, Puddytiger is well worth browsing. What I liked the most was that it doesn't fall into the common trap of New Age stores which seem pretentious and cheesy. Prices aren't too bad either for this type of establishment, so I'd definitely recommend dropping by on any visit to Tynemouth.
