The more 'classy' shopping centre in Oxford, the Clarendon carries a number of designer labels…read moreunlike it's counterpart - the Westgate. The centre is small, with the list of shops in the review below. Note though, that it is open 7 days a week, not 5 as stated below. There are often promotional staff situated in the centre - Paintballing, Sky and Cars seem to be common themes. There is minimal seating available.

The Clarendon shopping centre is more modern and brighter than its slightly poorer cousin across…read morethe road (Westgate centre). Some fabulous shops including: French Connection lovely clothes with ladies downstairs and mens (not so good) upstairs Body shop smells yummy and very nice helpful staff Office - my favourite shoe shop River Island again ladies downstairs and men upstairs (not great, a bit unfashionable) Zara classy and elegant with helpful staff. Great ladies on the ground floor with mens and childrens upstairs. Quite a large size store too Gap good for those basics A lovely little boutique whose name escapes me just now they sell gorgeous ladies clothes and handbags The Christmas decorations this year are a bit dodgy though nice lights but one very strange looking santa riding a reindeer My only complaint about this centre is that is has absolutely no seats for tired boyfriends waiting for us girls to stop shopping!

Be aware!!! The parking operator has a maximum stay of 5hrs which considering this is a location…read morefor a cinema and restaurants is unacceptably short. This limit is not clearly signposted throughout the car park. It appears on the normal sized text of the charges which is only visible by the pay machines or a few parking spots. The overstay charge is stated as £100. This is unscrupulous practice by the parking operator.

Nice place but parking is highly inconvenient and poorly managed ... visited the Centre to have…read moresome lunch and catch a movie, upon trying to pay for parking the machine would not accept any money as we had been there for more than four hours (obviously) ... looked at small print on sign and it did state 'four hours maximum' - what's the point of that ? ... why have restaurants and a cinema if you cannot park long enough to actually use the facilities ? Got fined £25 (x 2 as we drove separately) tried to call the Orchard Centre and they were completely uninterested and just referred me to the robbing Parking Company who were equally dismissive of the fact that I had tried to pay but machine wouldn't allow it .. so in the end I just get ripped off with the fine Utter shambles !! ... will not bother visiting again ... if you want to have some food and see a movie, without Parking grief, go to Oxford, Wynnersh or Reading ... much less hassle

its fine as these places go. good shops, clean & toilets are easy to find. not much more i can sayread more

This was part of our walking food tour, and their claim to fame other than dating back to 1321, is being featured in Harry Potter as the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron. But you should definitely visit for their variety of bars and pubs plus other shops & weekend markets (check their website for details). Great spot to visit anytime but especially if it's raining since it is a mostly covered venue.

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. It has a great family atmosphere and some interesting stalls. It is under immediate threat of demolition at the moment. To be replaced by chain stores and luxury flats. But a major campaign is underway. Check out this site for more information: wardscornercommunity.org.uk

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.
