I love this little shopping centre it has everything I need for a good Saturday out shopping. First…read moreoff you can park in Sainsburys car park but it's always busy so you may have to wait. It's free for disabled blue badge holders in any bay. Alternatively there is on street parking around the other side of the shopping centre if coming in from where the old Zens nightclub used to be. There are about 6 on street blue badge bays here but no normal parking. Inside the centre there are many varied shops like the 99p store great for bargains as is Wilkinsons, then there's a great Greggs for getting some lunch, there's a cheap card shop, a thorntons, a Peacocks love that store, supadrugs, McDonalds (yuk), as well as much more ie shoes, household, small stalls, nail and beauty shops, furniture etc. Well worth a visit, plus there's an indoor market area with quite a few stalls selling pet foods, clothes, shoes, mobile phone stuff etc it's small but the stalls have been there years.

This is a very good Retail park which has a Comet, Currys, PC World, Large Boots, Sports Direct,…read moreBedpost, Maplins, Hobbycraft, Game Store, Pets At Home (includes a VET),Travel Agents, McDonalds, Next Store & Carphone Warehouse. Also nearby are Local food shops, Barbers, Iceland, Bank, Restaurants PLUS a large Sainsbury!, So a very good location with plenty of parking available, it can get a bit busy, but it is very good. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

First time here in maybe a decade or so, I was surprised to find it had held up remarkably well..it hasn't dated that badly and doesn't feel like the poor neighbour to the recent Westfield Centres in West & East London. Writing this review on Nov 1st, I'd suggest (if you can) to avoid it from now until around mid January as it will heave, throng, and burst at the seams due to Christmas / January Sales... All in all you're holding up well Bluewater...

I took my Mercedes GLE into this garage for a B5 service. I am new to the area so needed to find a…read morenew Garage. i was quoted £280 for the full service. i agreed and brought my car in a few days later. after dropping the car off i receive a phone call from the garage trying to upsell me a few other things (air conditioning recharge, Brake fluid replacement and back window wiper). this too me over my budget to £417.. ok fine do all the extra work. came in later in the afternoon to collect my car and pay. was told my dipstick handle was missing. This is strange because i never touch my dipstick to check oil, i get it serviced every year and oil changed by the mechanic so either they broke it or it was my previous mechanic. im dubious about it but decide to pay the £18 for a replacement. Friday evening my check engine light comes on. It has never done this before in the 3 years i have had the vehicle. engine light on directly after ive had a service at a new garage is suspicious. i wait till Monday to query them about it thinking they could have innocently left something out of place and would investigate/rectify. straight off the bat the person on the phone is denying that the two things could be linked. I'm no mechanic but even i know that there is a possibility the two things could be linked. Could it be a coincidence that all these extras are happening to my car for the first time at a new garage. yes its possible. Could it be that these things happening to my car generating extra income is the way the garage operate. more than likely, yes. ive been booked in for Friday for them to inspect the vehicle, but i am worried they are going to do more damage that is going to cost me more money in the long run. I think its better to cut my losses then take it into this garage. cut a long story short, dont be surprised if your car develops new problems after you've taken it here. its how they make extra money

When I fancy or need to use my oyster for the rest of the day, I walk to this station. Although…read moreDartford is my nearest station, it doesn't use oyster yet. And sometimes you just need to use your oyster card! This station is clean and I like the little shop on site. Trains are fairly frequent in both directions.

It's the last station on zone 6 so it can get very busy. The station has a small shop which is…read moreusually always open. The station also has a small coffee shop which is open during the mornings. There is a self ticket machine too. The staff a friendly and helpful which always makes the morning travel better. There is on site parking but it is quite expensive. The road has double yellow lines so don't park as you will get a ticket. Mounting the curb is also not advised as the council usually has a mobile camera car which will take pictures and send you a fine.

The dog track at Crayford has certainly become a better place to go since smoking was banned as…read moreonce it used to be just full of smoke. Now you can take the kids and have a great family day out. Saturday mornings, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons are all free to get in and you get a programme too so you don't even have to bet you can just go along and have a completely free day out. There's a nice restaurant function room upstairs with a disabled lift, also downstairs there's a snack cafe bar with a nice food and a well stocked alcoholic bar. There's indoor and outdoor viewing and lots of parking, next door to Sainburys Crayford. A great day/night out. Check out the website for party offers and special days.
