I like this car park the prices are ok however it is so disappointing that they still shut at 9pm I go to many things in the Glasgow Concert Hall which finish at 10pm or out for dinner or cinema it is after 10pm that I need. I use CSCar Park but it is very pricey and in bad repair would love it if this car park opened back up till 11pm or longer like it use to. I feel they are deffo losing out on money read more

The closing times for the carpark need to be updated. Tells me here carpark is open till 23:30 when really it closes at 9pm our car got locked in carpark all night had to get train home then train back in this morning to pick car up and to top it off should have cost £2.50 for parking but cost us £26 read more

I am reviewing this car park separately from Buchanan Galleries because it is practically a separate business in its own right and is one of the main parking areas in Glasgow city centre that is used by a lot of people not visiting the Galleries anyway. Ever since the last time I used this place (and I can assure you it will be the last) I have been desperate to write this review just so I can give it the mauling it deserves. This multi-storey indoor parking lot is connected to the large Buchanan Galleries shopping centre just off Buchanan Street for use by customers, though it is used by a lot of people not using the Galleries that simply need somewhere safe and secure to park their car, such is the difficulty of finding a parking spot in the city . A safe and secure place? Yes. Big enough? You bet - there are seven or eight levels. Easy access? I don't think so. While there are several storeys in the car park, the spaces are very small. And trying to get in and out of them is nothing short of a nightmare. I usually find parking the car in nose first and reversing out to be the easiest option. But when you come to reverse out you'll probably end up wishing you'd never been born. The last time I was here I actually thought I'd ended up caught in a space that was impossible to get out of without smashing into another car or two, such was the extremely tight room in which to manoeuvre. Remember the manoeuvre they teach you in the driving test called the three-point turn? Well this was more of a 19-point turn. I got out in the end, but not after having to wait and wait for the constant stream of other vehicles going in and out of the car park to get out of the way, pissing off other drivers and even nearly ending up having a square go with one of them. And I can promise you I am a fairly experienced driver - I have parked in numerous other large car parks and had no such problems. None of them were quite as ridiculously cramped as this one. What's more, the Buchanan Galleries car park is even more difficult to get out of due to the high amount of vehicles using it, meaning you can be waiting an age before you've even started to move. Despite its size, it can still be difficult to find a space, though there is at least a board at the entrance which tells you which levels still have spaces. It is also not the cheapest car park in the city. By all means use this car park if you are prepared for some tricky manoeuvres. But I certainly won't be back. read more

Buchanan Galleries Car Park - From Buc Galleries website - Parking Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

A review on a car park? Yes, rather strange even for me, but sometimes we need to know if a car park lives up to the £1.80 we pay for an hour. SO here goes, Buchanan galleries car park is in my opinion the only way to shop if you are going to bring your car into the city centre and you are planning on buying a load of stuff. I have parked here loads of times, and I can tell you if you are having a hard days shopping it is super nice to get straight out the car into the shops, and then vice versa and even more so when you are going home with all your shopping and your sore feet. So first of all yes go to this car-park if you are wearing high shoes, but if you are not then you can park alot cheaper if you park on the street particularly up beside Glasgow Caledonian Uni, which will only be £2 for 4 hours. The draw back is that you will have to walk a little 5-10 mins to get to the shops from your car and you will have to return back to top up your time if you are going to be longer than 4 hours which inevitably you usually are. So in this case Buchanan galleries is your answer, but be warned that if you stay over 3 hours your charge will soar quickly. I have pushed my card into the pay machine a few time and seen double figures, nightmare. read more

After having been employed in some form or another in Buchanan Galleries for about four years, I can safely agree with Gordon. This car park is super handy if you are out and about in town or, more specifically, looking round the Galleries as they're not so fondly named. However, it can be pretty expensive (apart from Sundays and some bank holidays during which it's free) and unbelievably tricky. There are lots of spaces yes; there is a board at the entrance stating which levels are full, yes but this is not especially useful. It is very cramped due to the more, the merrier attitude running a riot here. Sadly, this means there are too many spaces put in too little an area. Furthermore, because of this vast amount of spaces, the car park is incredibly busy. In fact, I remember during one accidental fire alarm the car park was basically grid locked for three hours! Lucky there wasn't actually a fire. Use it if you have to, but if you can find elsewhere. read more

I used to think this was a stress free and convenient car park right in the middle of Glasgow. But then we parked our car here on December 28th, right after the Christmas period. Oh how naive of us. Whenever we got there, it was pretty full on the lower floors but on the upper floors there wasn't a car in sight. We wondered why this was but just bought a ticket and proceeded to Buchanan Galleries. Then we returned later in the afternoon and it was completely chaotic. There was a queue to pay for the parking, a queue for the lifts and by the time we had wrestled our way into one and arrived at the sixth floor, we saw the gigantic queue going out of the place. We were stuck in it for about 2 hours and it was dreadful. The staff were of no use and only came round to pass out water and gave us no details about when we would be able to get out. We were told to abandon our car and come back later but since we had already paid, this idea was useless. I think it will be St Enoch for us from now on. And we will be boycotting Glasgow during the festive period as well, read more

It's a new-ish shopping centre so not desperately exciting; it doesn't have the visual appeal of Princess Square or the size of an out of town place like Braehead, but I think it sits somewhere on a scale between the two. This is a big shopping centre to find in a city, I think the biggest in Europe when it was built and this means you do get a bit of a range of shops, however less so since Ottakers (there is now no bookshop) and Habitat closed. There is still quite a selection, albeit mainly clothes shops, a food court and John Lewis (which you can collect from through the car park). The car park can get very busy most days and cost the best part of £10 to park for most of a Saturday, so I would recommend going on a Sunday when it is £1.50 for the whole day. read more

The shopping mall is huge, and very great, plenty of stores, and have wide selection, and I do love it But I have some criticism about this store, as it is not very buggy and wheelchair friendly, as there is loads of escalators, and too few lifts, while there is a group of mothers with their buggies around the lifts. so it is becoming a common problem However on the shopping mall floor, it is great very easy to move around and very stroll-able, and very open spaced layout, without having to avoid something eg like a object in the way or whatever. Plus it is well bright, and the decor is modern, and it is very clean. Moving on to the food area on the upper deck, the layout is bit funny, and there is nothing interesting to look out at, as it is bit enclosed, and boxed in. and it quite badly laid out, and not near to the windows, as if it was nearer to the windows at the front and i am sure the views from there would be marvellous! But it is small, dingy, and depressing, and I have been there once, and I never went back again, so I would recommend you all to avoid this food-hall, as it is not worth spending your money in there. For the car park area, it is very good, and very safe. Especially for women in the night time, as it is quite bright, and very well lighted, and I can imagine it is very safe to be in the NCP style car park than compared to the older ones, which it is used to be dark and dingy and grey dark concreted walls. But in this store's car park, it is all bright, white, and I am pleased to say that I am quite proud of this car park, as I can be feel safe in this car park in the late hours in the night. BEaring in mind this car park is not free, as it is pay to park, but at reasonable prices, and quite cheaper, than parking on the Glasgow's streets which they are far more expensive! read more

This is a nice shopping centre. John Lewis are the anchor store, and John Lewis is always good for a visit. The other stores are nice, a good mix of luxury brands and affordable and it seems a fairly stable mix of stores. Its a strollable shopping centre, the right size and shape for browsing. It does suffer from having too few lifts (a common problem) leaving Mums with buggies queuing at the entrance to get to the shopping floors. The foodhall is depressing, badly laid out and dingy. Avoid. read more

I absolutely love this place!! I live in Edinburgh but come to Glasgow shopping each xmas and this is my fav place. It is city centre, easy to find and there are loads of shops to browse. I always buy something in the oil and vinegar shop if you have never visited it then you really should. You are able to try the oils and vinegars soaked into bread lovely!!! Anyway back to Buchanan Galleries. A wonderful selection of shops, nice big sizes. The John Lewis in Buchanan Galleries is huge and has a fantastic rage of goods. The food hall is ok but could be better, it's a bit fast foodie for my liking. Late opening hours which means you get the most out of a days shopping. You can park here, but it isn't free, which is a shame. However as I am traveling from Edinburgh that does not affect me. It is a stones throw away from the bus station and that's good enough for me. read more

Buchanan Galleries is a good shopping centre located at the top of Buchanan Street at the junction with Sauchiehall Street. The shopping centre is bright and clean and there is a good mix of high street stores including Next, Boots, H&M, Starbucks, Gap and Goldsmiths the Jewellers. The flag ship store in the centre is John Lewis which is a fantastic store and is probably the best store in the centre. There is a food court area on the top level but it's not up to much, but not much of a loss as there are plenty of good places for lunch close by. There is an adjoining car park which has 10 floors and ample parking for a reasonable charge. I find the lifts slightly confusing and I can never work out which floor I'm on - the entrance on Buchanan Street is lower ground and the Sauchiehall Street entrance seems to be ground. I especially like this centre on a wet day as I can park and shop easily without having to go outside. read more

Free from 5pm .... Warning ! Go in at 4.55pm & you'll be charged for the entire time you are parked there . Complete rip-off , Braehead is genuinely FREE all the time & has a much better selection of shops too , 5 Stars Braehead - Zero stars Buchanan Galleries . read more

Good city centre shopping mall with a reasonable range of shops and some unusual ones in the mix. Having said that, I rarely find myself needing to go to one of the shops in itmaybe it just doesn't have the shops I frequent and with Sauchiehall St and Buchannan St beside it there are lots of other shops right outside. Pleasant enough environment and good for a lunchtime wander. Split across four levels but almost all the shops are on levels 2 and 3. read more

Brill place to shop!x

A good shopping centre in glasgow that broughy john lewis up to scotland, which has to be one good thing! The only problem I have is its a bit confusing as its lots of odd levels which makes you forget where you have been inside. Good mix of high street and independant stores are available along with good clean malls and toliets. It gets very busy at the weekends so only tend to go in shopping in the week. Overall a good place to shop with the must have john lewis store which is amazing and huge! read more

Love this place! its not huge but its well kept and clean. Its has a list of top name shops and its always a nice wonder. I regularly visit my favourite shops which are all under this roof. Theres a claire's accessories which is a nice size, a warehouse with some great stuff and nice changing rooms, a starbucks with lots of seating place, a very nice sized River Island and even a la senza for all your pyjamas and laundry needs. read more

A great under-cover shopping centre with loads to offer. Split over three floors there is something here for everyone, including a great H&M store and one of my favourite shops Korres. The jewel in the crown has to be John Lewis though, and it sells everything here! As well as offering the big names you can also find shops selling cards and jewellery shops etc as well. There is an eating area up on the top floor but I'd avoid if I were you I've eaten there one and never again as it was busy and grubby. This place is great for everything else though. read more

Buchanan Galleries is Glasgow's premier shopping centre with a variety of high end shopping opportunities. It is located at the top of Buchanan Street and can be easily accessed from either of glasgow's train station or underground. There is also a dedicated car park on that can be accessed from the Cathedral St end of Bath St if you don't want to risk getting wet. It can feel a little clinical and soulless but no worse than any other shopping centre of its size. If you are looking for a good selection of high end shops on a rainy day it is certainly the place to go. read more

too crammed. but lots of big names in this shopping centre.
