We Went Shopping at the Victoria Centre Shopping Centre - compared to London Shopping it was a Bargain, besides all the top named stores like John Lewis, House of Frazer, Next, Gap, Dixons, CarPhone Warehouse and a massive Tesco Metro Supermarket open till 11pm each night, it had a fantastic 2nd floor Market with cheap clothes, a market with fresh Meat, Fish, Chicken & Fish Stalls - we stayed at the Victoria Centre Self Catering Apartments above the Victoria Centre Shopping Centre and next to the expensive Hilton Hotel, and i can honestly say that we had the best accommodation of our lives! It was dead quiet, a large 2 double bedroom apartment with wifi internet, tv lounge, kitchen, washing machine, all with wood floors and 2 double bedrooms, bath & shower - it was brilliant for our stay in Nottingham and just 6 minutes walk to the theatres, casinos and next to all the bars and restaurants and nightlife of Nottingham - i thoroughly reccommend the Victoria Centre Apartments - enjoy nottingham, a buzzing student city - they say there are 6 girls to every guy here - what more can i say. read more

The Victoria Centre is a shopping centre, situated on the north side of Nottingham. The car park is underneath the shopping centre it provides 1,000+ car parking spaces and whilst at peak hours there can be a bit of a queue to get in, its normally not too long. A bus station is available that has links to 'red' bartons buses. The regular city,'green' buses stop at various points around the shopping centre. The centre has a wide selection of stores including Boots, Next, House of Fraser, WHSmiths, Top shop, Dorothy Perkins, Disney Store and many many smaller stores also. Theres a large indoor market thats worth a visit, places to eat and places to sit and while away the time. When paying a visit to the Victoria Centre take 5 minutes,on the hour to watch the clock,situtated outside Boots. It will perform and play its music. Throw a penny into its waters and make your wish. read more

It's pretty good really. For a shopping centre that's been there since I was a nipper - so at least twenty five years, it doesn't look too bad. There are a nice selection of quality shops - House of Fraser, John Lewis, Gap, Boots, Thorntons, Next. Along with tens of clothes and shoe shops, and numerous eateries, coffee shops etc. The market is a twist. If you need something specific, you can usually find it in the market - however, you may have to walk through the extremely pungent fish section to get to it! It's miles better than the Broadmarsh (Nottingham's other large shopping centre) in my opinion. And would always be the place that I start my shopping - the car park, underneath the centre is massive - I've never not got a space there. It can be a bit pricey, but you pay for the convienience I guess. read more

Terrible car park. The time displayed on the entry barrier does not match that on the entry token printed tickets not used so so can't verify what time they have used until you get the shock of the price when you come to leave. If you arrive before 4pm they will charge you full daily peak rates for every hour after 4pm. I arrived at 3:50pm left at 11pm and was charged £15.00 should be £4.50 maximum plus 1 hour at normal rate. The car park is badly lit in lots of places. Little in the way of signs/directions Exits to stairs/lifts not sign posted Pay stations not signposted Avoid at all costs. The shopping area itself is very dated distinctly 70's feel and very crowded. Soem good shops the the centre itself is best avoided. read more

The Victoria Centre is currently Nottingham's largest and most modern shopping centre. That said I think it's a little tired nowadays. It is not a Westfield, Bluewater or the Centre MK and the design is particularly 80's. However, it is currently the best shopping centre that Nottingham has to offer. Shops include, John lewis, House of Fraser, Next, WhSmith, Superdrug, Topshop, Boots and Thorntons Chocolates. Full details of all the shops on offer are available on the Victoria centre website: http://www.victoria-centre-nottingham.co.uk There is also a handy Tesco towards the rear of the centre and the underground car parking is particularly well located (although it's a bit of a maze down there!) read more

The Victoria Centre is your typical shopping centre with all the High Street favourites such as Boots, Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, Next etc. It also has Tesco and two department stores - John Lewis and House of Fraser. It is currently the better of Nottingham's two main shopping centres but Broadmarsh is going through a huge redevelopment and I think Viccy Centre will very soon look dated. There is a market which used to be buzzing but now has more stalls closed than open. It would be great if they gave that an overhall and embraced a few more unique retail experiences. There is also a fish market which really does pong downwind. But all in all it's a decent place if you want to stay under one roof. read more

This is a great place to go shopping. There is many shops and it is great because if the wethers bad u dont hav to worrie about it. There is a wide variety of shops but some of them are on streets close buy to the centre that are not in the centre. At christmas the shopping centre opens late and the decorations are great!! The toilets are ok but could be better but they always seem to be clean. There is a market upstairs in the centre which is good for fresh food and bits an bobs but sometimes it makes the centre smell of fish!! There is both staris and lifts to get to the second floor which is always helpfull. Overall i think that this hsopping centre is good and it has good atmosphere about it. read more

This shopping centre has the best of everything, not the most modern but all you need under one very large roof. Without the distractions of the newer centres it feels a bit more crowded but with shops such as Jessops ( John Lewis) Boots, Woolworths, Next, Card Factory and many more specialist shops there is space for everyone. These are just the ground floor ! On the first floor there are more quirky shops such as Hawkins Bazaar and other gadget based shops. For the younger ones there is a convenient place where Early Learning Centre and the Disney Store are close together and near a huge fish tank to keep the little ones amused. Stay dry and have a great time even just window shopping ! read more

The largest shopping centre in Nottingham. Shops include, John lewis, House of Fraser, Next, WH Smith, Superdrug, Topshop, Boots and Game. There is a fountain there where kids though pennies in and at weekend market companies sometime dish out freebies. Its always busy and, espesially at christmas time, very bright and festive. Everything that you could want can be found in here. On the whole i find the Victora Centre too busy and much prefer the street shopping in the area. Yes its good and everything is in one place but this is offset by the amount of people who barge and push their way through the complex. read more

The Victoria Centre is one of two shopping centres situated in the Nottingham city centre. Close to bus, tram and even rail links it is easy to access and has a wide range of shops from John Lewis, WHSmith and Next to Boots, HMV and Woolworths. Those who wish to grab a bite to eat will also not be disappointed, as several cafes and eateries can also be found. On the upper level, there is also a market with a fishmongers attached (which you can not fail to miss) The toilets are clean and free to use and are available on both levels, so they're within easy reach. read more

The Victoria Centre encompasses a range of well known shops, department stores and cafes as well as a gym, a market and high rise flats. It's a handy place to shop (especially if it's raining) as there are a fair number of options under one roof. It is however overshadowed by its larger, more modern counterparts in Derby and Leicester. In order to have a complete shopping experience in Nottingham the shopper will need to venture further afield to the Broad Marsh Centre and along the city centre streets where many other shops worth visiting can be found. read more

The better of the two shopping centres in Nottingham, it has all the main stores under one roof, such as Boots, Next, John Lewis, House of Fraser etc, plus a Tesco Express at the far end. You can participate in the Victoria Centre Card to get discounts off certain stores, and buy gift vouchers redeemable in any store. On the top floor there is a market which has loads of differect stalls, from card shops to fruit and veg, plus a fish market (which can pong a bit in summer!) read more

This place is great it houses some of the biggest high street shops from Next, Boots to John Lewis and House of Fraser. It has a traditional permanant market on the top floor 6 days a week and even a 24 hour health club. Theres a Tesco metro on the ground floor and at the weekened theres usually some freebies being given out by marketing companies. I love the juice bar on the ground floor! read more

The victoria centre is a eclectic mix of shops. It is a bit posher than broadmarsh centre, so don't expect fantastic bargain shops. I often get a meal deal from boots, and eat it sitting on one of the many benches. More of your conventional shopping centre, housing many popular chain stores. It can get extremely busy, especially the tesco, which I avoid if I can. read more

This shopping centre is reasonable for shopping,but is getting a little dated now compared with the westfield centres etc..There is an indoor market area which is a bit different from the norm, and can be a place to find a bargin.You will find some of the big high street stores here but by no means all of them,still worth a visit though. read more

I would say the victoria centre is one of the best shopping centres in the country, with a vast array of shops suiting all tastes and ages, threre are plenty of places to eat, and a huge car park underneath, so if the weather is not good you dont have to venture out of the centre, the parking is a bit pricey though. read more

The best place to shop in nottingham, lots of shops and victria market. The shops are all indoors and parking so you don't get wet or feel the cold. read more
