Fremlin Walk is a fairly new development in the middle of Maidstone town centre. It has a good…read moreselection of shops - Next, Schuh, River Island, Republic, House of Fraser, Beaverbrooks - to name a few. There's also a few coffee shops dotted up and down the street. My only advice to people shopping here is NOT to park in the underground car park - they charge extortionate prices to park the car. You are better off choosing one of the outside car parks like Brewer Street.

This part of town stands out from the rest and definantly seems out of place. A nice stretch with…read morethe latest high street names topped off by a House of Fraser at the end. The other part of town looks old and out-dated, but once you step into this area, it definantly improves the feel of Maidstone town centre.

Spent the weekend in Kent and found the Royal Star Arcade on our travels…read more Lovely building with some really interesting things to see, The cafe has great food and my hot chocolate was Amazing . They had some nice little shops browse around, a beauty clinic, health food shop and lots of other places to see, We were there early so not much was open apart from the main cafe in the centre of the ground floor but it was well worth it for the glass roof alone.

Then i think the managers son comes out of nowhere and snatches the sunglasses off my face and started to tell me off for running. When he pled them if my dad said they left a red mark on my face. And he shouldn't even be touching my face when COVID is around ad anyway he's not allowed to touch me science I'm not his child. My dad spoke to the woman at the til and even she said he's not allowed to be doin that. It's a disgrace of how shop owners do that. Just because he's the mangers son doesn't give him the right to do that. Anyway, i dont know if i will be doing that.

Not a particularly high-end place, but it has everything you need and more - shops that take up two…read morefloors include New Look and Wilkinson. Others include Boots, Superdrug and WHSmith, there are several mobile phone places, a Claire's Accessories, a few card shops and a Sainsburys. For food you can either eat at BB's (which is a coffee and sandwiches place), Subway, an Italian cafe near it (which has quite a lot of seating, something which Subway severely lacks), a bakery, a hot dog or a meal deal from Boots. The shops on the top floor aren't as great as the ground ones but you do have yet another New Age shop, a "Legends" style cafe, a menswear place and a store that sells cut-price DVDs - if you're after old classics, you might be able to dig out a gem there. There is also a fabrics shop and a few jewellers, as well as a few standalone stalls in the middle of the wide walkways. The major bonus of the Pentagon is that it is also the hub of Arriva buses - any exit on the first floor leads to the big bus stop, which is all around it and makes it very easy to travel. There is also a large car park.

Chatham Primark - the shop of choice for many a local chavette…read more This place really is a nightmare on any day of the week, like a giant jumble sale for loud mouthed locals '''ere Tracy they 'ave those trouser's Donna got the other week, innit! U want a size 16 mate?'' Just gotta laugh. Don't get me wrong - this place is ok for a few items but most of the stuff here is cheaply made, unflattering & unattractive. I've visited this place a couple of time's mainly through sheer lack of store choice in the area and I've picked up a few bits. Mainly holiday stuff - flip flops & bikini's. I like some of their mix and match bikini set's but variety seems to have gone downhill the last couple of years which is a real shame but overall they're good if you're anything like me and wear a different bikini for almost every day of your holiday! I also recently came across their sports bra's too which are a bargain - 2 for £5 I think they were. Sick of paying upwards of £30 for just one these were a great find although I wouldn't recommend for women with larger sized busts. Ok shop if you can tolerate it.

Quite a large Bewise store, with womens, mens and childrens clothes. They have started to bring up…read moreto date fashio clothes out! They also sell items for your home like. mugs, cushions, candles, pictures mirrors.. etc.. all quite cheap. They also sell toys and are brilliant when it gets close to christmas and they bring out the previous years christmas gift sets at a fraction of the price. I usually stock up! They do some great sales, so pick up a leaflet next time your in there as you may find a coupon for 20% off! The staff are very helfful, last time I didn't have a leaflet she found me one and got me 20% off which was so kind of her.

You could say that it's a blight on the landscape, but it actually fits in well. There appears to be far too much work needed for any company to take it over. And sadly, it is just another part of the very run down area of Chatham, the dismal High Street.

If you're after a shopping centre that isn't all about brands and labels, this is for you…read more The shops that I remembered are a wig shop (maybe?), a key cutting and shoe repair place, which is always useful but there are a few shops of those kind on that end of the High Street, not to mention one in the Pentagon just down the road. There is also a hippy type shop that sells New Age stuff like poppers, posters and statuettes and a shop that sells models of cars, planes and stuff like that. Unfortunately, a lot of the units stand empty and it gives the place a dilapidated look. If you don't mind the lack of glamour, you'll probably find what you're looking for, seeing as none of the units are particularly big.
