Silverburn is my favourite shopping centre in Glasgow.. So what makes it so good.. I like the fact that it is big and spacious even on a Saturday you still have room to move about without bumping into folk. Parking is also great.. Loads of it.. The multi storey car park has a great lighting set up to let you know where a free space is.. If you look at the roof you'll see lots of red and green lights.. If you see a green light underneath it will be a free parking space.. There are lots of different shops all the kids you want even a small version of debenhams.. And the food on offer is great. wagamama, nandos, you sushi, the list goes on.. There are lots of lovely little stalls dotted about where you can buy some original not in the high street type things. There is also a big tesco attached and a newly opened cineworld.. read more

I have mixed feelings about Silverburn hence the 3 stars. Things that are good about it: - It's indoors - handy for shopping in the rain (which is most of the time) - Good selection of shops including clothes, food, homewares - Some pretty ok places to eat, I normally go to Yo Sushi when I'm here but don't mind the odd Nando's/Wagamama. There's a few new eating places too - Giraffe, Zizzi and Carluccio's is opening later this year. Things that aren't so good about it: - It's a bit of a strange shape so it means you'll walk from one end to the other, and then remember something you need at M&S or Tesco, and have to walk all the way back again - The car park is a bit of a nightmare. I try to avoid visiting on the weekend as even then it's hard to park. At Christmas you'd be better off getting public transport if you're really desperate to shop here. - The toilets seem like they're really far apart I go here when I need to, but I rarely visit just for a wander around the shops anymore. read more

Silverburn is by far my favourite shopping centre in Glasgow. There is plenty of free parking. The multi-story has little lights - green for a free space, red if the space is full. Seriously I was tempted to just get g to drop me off and let him play in the car park such was his childlike joy with this innovation! The centre is bright, airy and spacious. Not only have they created an area big enough for people to actually move around comfortably in but also its lovely and high so even when it is busy you don't feel claustrophobic. Another massive point in their favour is that there are plenty of clean, easy to get to toilets - I can't be the only person who needs to pee when out shopping so why do some shopping centres make it so difficult? But it has to be said that my main reason for favouring Silverburn is the story I heard about the naming. When the planners were out surveying the site in which to build the centre there was a burn (small Scottish stream) and it did indeed sparkle in the light, hence Silverburn. What is omitted from the telling is the reason that the burn sparkled was nothing to do with the light hitting crystal clear water and more to do with the number of dumped shopping trollies polluting the landscape! Thankfully they've moved a long way from dumped shopping trollies. Inside there is a great selection of shops and eateries catering to a range of tastes and budgets. It is worth bearing in mind if you are used to shopping in the city centre, that the stores are smaller and might not carry the full product range. I've never had any issues but I find shopping rather too easy, as my credit card statements will testify! Silverburn also deserves a special mention for their shop mobility service. It is located on the ground floor of the multi-story car park. If you have need of a wheel chair or a mobility scooter you go in register and they lend you one for free. No deposit or fuss and they even give you a temporary blue badge so that you can park in a disabled bay. With a broken ankle this is a godsend and means that for the next wee while Silverburn have gained an incredibly loyal customer. read more

Nando's - Exciting!!! But my loyalty lies with Buchanan Street! - Shopping Centers Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

I had heard so many rave reviews about Silverburn I was slightly underwhelmed when I visited it for the first time a few weeks ago. That's not to put it down - it is clean, stylish and modern with most of the shops you want to visit on the High Street. But, in my opinion, it is not massively different from Braehead. Silverburn does offer a range of good eateries, including Wagamama, La Tasca and Yo Sushi. It is easily accessible using an express bus which leaves Union Street in Glasgow. The one store which is glaringly absent from Silverburn is Primark; apparently Marks and Spencer refused to join the shopping centre if the discount brand was also going to be there. They were worried Primark would attract the cheapos were weren't willing to spend money in expensive stores such as Marks. read more

Nando's - Official Website - Shopping Centers Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

I was dragged here recently for the first time recently and was quite impressed to be fair. There's so many big shopping centres in Glasgow, it's hard to really stand out. This one happens to look really nice which makes a difference and really good places for eating. There's some fancier shops in here that almost make the new wing of St. Enoch Centre look as though they are competing in a way. That being said, there are lots of shops for different budgets as well. Not my favourite shopping centre, but that's due to its geographical location. read more

Nando's - From website - Shopping Centers Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

This superb out of town shopping centre is a must see if in Glasgow. It's easily accessible south west of the city. There are ample free car parking spaces. Inside the long shopping complex are the anchors of TESCO Extra and M&S at either ends and Debenhams in the middle. There are lots of eateries with most well known brands, so really are spoilt for choice. In the centre of the mall are lots of concession stands, again worth visiting. There are a couple of play things for kids and a cinema complex so one can spend a whole day here. read more

Now I'm no fan of shopping centres, too many people crammed into a small space, all trudging along. Yeah, with Scottish rain they do have some benefits but I enjoy walking down a high street and getting some "fresh" air. I also take no pleasure in shopping but as I was going to the cinema I thought it would be rude not have a look. They're really improved the food courts and you can eat anything fancy. In fact there are restaurants at all entrances. The centre is bright and felt airy though, for a Saturday, it was surprisingly quiet. I'd hate to see it around Christmas when it must be mobbed. it was Also lovely to see all the units in use. There appears to be something for everyone including a Pure Spa upstairs and a Mobility centre (you can borrow a Mobility scooter to help you get round), aye, it was all right. read more

As a local and within walking distance, i find the centre to be great! As s young guy who likes new clobver and trainers, it has Van Mildert, JD Sports, a brand new 'Penguin' store and Foot Asylum/Office aswell so sone good stuff. Has a great Wagamamas aswell. Try the Katsu...you will not be disappointed read more

Nando's - Silverburn inside. Decors lovely! - Shopping Centers Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Silverburn is still quite new and it's got a high-end leaning. The ceilings are sooo high and the floor is the shiniest thing I have even seen. In fact, I think the floor made me a bit ill: I felt kind of dizzy and got really blinky. Shops such as Coast, L.K. Bennett, Swarovski and - my favourite - Kurt Geiger make it feel quite exclusive. There is a really good mix of stores for al budgets though. There are a few good places to eat, like La Tasca and Wagamama - no McDonalds here. You could get a whole day out of this place, but I'm thinking the nearer it gets to Christmas,the more chockers it will be. read more

Nando's - from Website - Shopping Centers Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

When Silverburn first opened I admit that I was not impressed. To me, it was just another impersonal shopping mall with all the same shops as elsewhere except massive, unfriendly versions. However, now I am hooked. When all the other shopping malls get so busy that you can't move Silverburn remains spacious, chilled out and elegant. I particularly love it at this time of year when the lovely white, silver and blue Christmas lights open it up even more. Plus, there is an advantage to those huge shops - the stock is pretty damned good and you often find a little unique purchase from your favourite store that you wouldn't have discovered elsewhere. There are no pound shops and that kinda store here - the closest you'll get to that is the fantastic TK Maxx. The rest are a mixture of high street and designer stores as well as little exclusive stalls selling bags, jewellery etc in the middle. Despite the large carpark, you will struggle to get a space here in the lead up to Christmas or at weekends and perhaps a better system needs to be in place. Otherwise, great for a day's shopping. read more

One of the best shopping mall in Glasgow, out of town but still well connected by busses. Pretty huge and can literally take a while to walk from start to end: has over +100 shops and great selection of restaurants, supermarkets and cinema. Very recommended for a nice shopping day! read more

I don't like Silverburn. While there are bits about Silverburn that are pretty good, overall I'm not a huge fan of the centre. It starts with the parking, which always seems like a relatively stressful affair. It just seems like there is nowhere near enough spaces for the amount of folk that go there. Once I'm there, it doesn't really get better. I always walk about with the feeling that I'd be better off in Glasgow City Centre, where I would have a much wider variety of shops, and better versions of the shops that are there. There doesn't seem to be any shops there that you don't find in any other shopping centre, with the possible exception of the Penguin shop. I also think that there isn't a great variety of shops if you're male, as you're stuck with the generic clothes shops and that's it. There is a pretty big food court, and while there are some big names there, again it feels a little underwhelming. Like the shops, there isn't really anything that you can't get in the City Centre, and there is less variety than you think (2 Italians right next to each other, and 2 burger places!). The cinema is excellent though. All said, I go to Silverburn and always feel that I would be better off shopping in the City Centre. Yeah, it's under cover, but the variety of shopping, better food and pubs (pubs!) mean that it wins every time. read more

I'm going to give this shopping centre five stars because I've just charged my phone for 30mins for free - although this did mean I couldn't spend my Holland and Barrett rewards because my phone was locked away. There is a good-sized food court with chains I know I could eat at who are vegan-friendly such as Pizza Express, Handmade Burger Company, and Wagamamas. There are at least two phone charging machines located around the food court - one is located right next to vending machines by the toilets. There's a poster in the toilets encouraging you to have a go on their piano out in the foyer; I didn't have a go so can't comment on whether it works. Toilets were clean and the hand dryer was excellent; I will stand here and watch the full 18 second countdown as I feel the tingle of air on my fingers thank ye very much. I feel much calmer in shopping centres than wandering up and down the main shopping high street. Only one charity chugger and loads of spaaaace (though I suppose a Thursday evening is going to be quieter than a Saturday afternoon). There are quite a few stalls for takeaway cakes and juices, and a big Tesco and an M&S, Build A Bear, and generic fashion stores who are probably very much loved by people who care about fashion and handbags. I was quite excited by Toys R Us, but it's far smaller than their branch in Govan. There's also a Debenhams and a Cineworld. A number of buses outside will take you into the city centre and beyond. read more

Wow, what a beautiful, spacious shopping center! It reminds me of Flatirons back home in Denver. H&M, Zara, M&S, a really big New Look and many other great shops are in this center. It really put a dent in my bank account! Parking, however many spaces there are, was a beast and this was on a weekday. read more

I'm not really a huge fan of Silverburn. I think i've been here probably 5x max since it opened. The main thing I don't like is probably the shape of it, I find that there is a lot of walk to get from one end to another and since the carpark entrance is right at the end it takes forever to walk back. You have some of your main high street shops here - H&M, Topshop, River Island, Zara, Dorothy Perkins etc. There is also a food court which I have only been to once so I'm sure exactly what is there, I've only been as far as Nandos. It is also indoors which is a plus. But if I was to go indoor shopping somewhere, I think i would pick Braehead instead - more shops and much easier to get around. I also find that there is a lack of men clothing shops here too - my boyfriend only likes coming here for zara! The one thing I really like about Silverburn is their carpark. The fact they have lights to indicate an empty space - green for free space and red for a taken space. It makes finding a car space soo much easier - every carpark should start this concept! read more

For anyone old enough to remember the early 90s and the birth of the out-of-town shopping centre, then Silverburn is at the very least a fascinating look at how different buildings and architecture have become in such a short space of time. I remember being awestruck by the shininess and scale of The Gyle Centre in about 1994, which now looks and feels like a relic of a bygone age. The undeniably grandiose and impressive Silverburn will also have gone down that route in a decade's time, but for now it's glitzy, sparkling, and manages to smell like a new car throughout. With a few more upmarket stores than The Forge or Braehead, and fairly expensive food options compared to most malls, it's begun it's life as a high-flyer. Unlike the city centre there isn't a single empty unit in the place, and unsurprisingly no pound stores or discount joints. In typical Glasgow style though, there's a Greggs, a Blue Lagoon and a Farmfoods all tucked away at the back where no-one can see them. Whilst I fear such malls may turn Buchanan Street into tumbleweed town eventually, it's convenient, lavish and simply makes you want to blow lots of money on unnecessary material goods. read more

This was my first time having a visit to Silverburn, the free car parking was great, once inside the choices were bit overwhelming, but many to choose from, so if you have the money to spend ( a bit on the up market price tag) I myself bought to pairs of summer shoes for a tenner , so was well cuffed at that. We then went on to Nandos for something to eat, my first time there also, I can say i was well 'n truly stuffed, with my double chicken wraps. Then on to M&S for some last minute shopping, I had a good time there, not sure when i will be back, but would venture there again if asked. :) read more

Silverburn is a really long shopping centre/mall in the south side of Glasgow between Pollok and Pollok Park, easily reached off the M77. After its recent upgrades which has resulted in much better chain food offerings (Five Guys, Tortilla burritos, Carluccios, expanded Nando's etc) I have to give the place 4 stars. There's plenty of parking in the multi-storey car park on the south of the complex but be warned, it's a good 8 minute walk from there to the north side which is where the new Cineworld and Five Guys is. There's also a lot of surface parking but if you want to save frustration and you're not going to Tesco I'd recommend the multi-storey. All of your usual shops are here too in this massive indoor complex. Treat yo self! read more

Sigh. What I like about the UK is its lack of malls. But try as I might, I could not get away from Silverburn this time around when we went to visit the in-laws. This ginormous and laquered shopping center was hoachin' over the holiday period, bursting with southside Glaswegians delighted not to have to go to East Kilbride. I will always prefer shopping in the Victorian setting of the city centre, but I will say for Silverburn that it sure does have a lot of options. Debenham's *and* Marks & Spencer? Boots *and* Superdrug?! The mind boggles. The stores are a little bit more high end but there is a TK Maxx for the discount seekers. There are also plenty of restaurant options so it can be a day out for a family not keen on driving all the way into the city. Like I said, personally I'm not a fan of malls but it was very new and shiny and--I have to admit--very convenient. We ate one day at the La Tascas and another day got a coffee from Starbucks. Unlike American malls, once you were in the eating establishment you no longer felt like you were in a mall which is pretty impressive to my jaded American sensibilities. read more

This place is built on a hellmouth, and that is not a reference to the housing scheme (the bundy) or the Pollock shopping centre that both stood here at one time. It sucks the life from you from the moment oh start to park your car. It's a long thin, single level mall and so battling from one side to the other can be tiresome. The only redeeming features are Nandos, Wagamas and Auntie Anne's pretzels. read more

My fav shopping mall In Glasgow Plenty of stores, plenty of great eateries Two negatives however loose it top marks Car parking is a nightmare Since it opened its slowly began filling the centres of their walk ways with little stand alone stores, like calendars, cupcakes, oils etc Now as much as I love cupcakes ..... I enjoy my space more ...... Now we are funnelled in to bottle Necks like the other malls I dislike all in the search for their profits read more

I'm not a fan. On paper, Silverburn would seem to be the perfect shopping centre. It's inside, there is free parking, there are lots of shops, and there's a big food court. The problem I have is that the shops just seem to be smaller, crapper versions of the ones you would find in the city centre. That being said, the opening hours are pretty good, so if you needed some emergency tights or whatever from Marks & Spencer, then Silverburn would be quite useful. However, the last time I was there, the whole place stank of fish. It seemed to be emanating from Yo Sushi, which is right in the middle of where most of the larger shops are. It was reeking. Why would you put a fish place in that location, where it can clearly stink out the whole place?! What really foxed me though was that people were walking about like this was completely normal thing, to be doing your Friday night shopping in somewhere that is honking of fish. Until someone can reassure me that this was a one-off and Silverburn doesn't normally smell like a kipper's knickers, then I'm not going back. read more

My Boyfriend and I go there regularly. We always enjoy the food. Keep up the good work

Really like wandering round this shopping centre. It's well set out with lots of great shops. There are often interesting stalls along the centre as well but also some more tacky ones. There are plenty of good places to eat too. Yo! Sushi, Nando's, Prezzo, Handmade Burger co... There's a big T K Maxx, M&S and Debenhams as well as various other fashion and jewellery shops and a big Tesco extra. The only thing I think that's missing is a stationery/book shop, there's only what Tesco has in store. read more

First off I got on a bus to go here this is how much I wanted a pair of shoes ~ I'm not a fan of Glasgow's public transport network so normally leave it out at all cost but Silverburn was the only place with the shoes It's a bit more high end that other shopping centres which I like it nice to go somewhere that doesn't have a primark in it. There's a good selection of shops LK Bennett and Kurt Geiger being great read more

Overall a good shopping center Great selection of shops and eating places And with the proposed Expansion upcoming it should be better As there will finallyget a cinema !!!! read more

I don't visit Silverburn often but when I manage to get out here I really like the stores they have on offer. I used to be out here for training all the time, and rarely got to appreciate it for the stores it houses. There are your usual staple stores like New Look etc, but they also have some more left of field stores that are just great fun to have a nosey around. They also have Paperchase! Anyone else as crazy about stationery as I am? I just love buying more notebooks than I could ever possibly write in so this is such a massive draw for me if I'm not looking to visit the city centre. They have a crazy amount of places to eat, from milkshakes and ice cream to sushi, to burgers, to Italian to Vietnamese street food. They're all chain restaurants, but hey, there's loads of choice so you'll definitely find something to satisfy a mid shopping spree scran! It's super clean here too, well maintained, bright and airy. The toilets are well maintained and they have an open plan baby changing area which is a godsend for someone with a toddler who hates having to go into a cubicle. There are plenty of parking spaces, even when it's really busy. They also have a light system in their multi story to spot free spaces at ease - how amazing is that? Red for occupied. Blue for free. Keep an eye on it next time you visit. Negatives: compared to my usual haunt (The Fort) the stores are a bit on the small side. It feels a little cramped if you visit at peak times and the stalls in the centre of the mall make it really difficult to squeeze through the crowd, especially if you're pushing a buggy too. Overall though, it's great! It's lovely to wander around on a quiet weekday when you can get time and space to browse at your leisure. With a huge Tesco next to it for any shopping you may need on your way home, you'll be able to get most of your shopping list ticked off on a visit here. A lovely alternative to Braehead and the Fort for edge of town shopping centres. read more

When it first opened I didn't really like Silverburn, I don't know why, now I love it. It's got a pretty good range of shops, it's out the way enough so it's not too busy and it's so clean! It has a good range of shops from high end fashion, discount high end fashion at TK Maxx to a good old Tesco and now there building a cinema. It reminds me of an American type mall and I can only imagine the pace to get better. The only problem with Silverburn is that it is a little bit out the way and can be awkward to get to on public transport and most of the food places are restaurants rather than just fast food and the food places are dotted throughout rather in one place, personally I like as it means there not an over powering smell from differnt paces and each place has it's own area which is kept clean by it's own staff rather than there be plates and cups lying everywere. read more

After the grand opening in 2007 Silverburn is still new and shiny but it's rather annoying to get to if you don't have a car. If you do have a car then don't worry about finding a parking space as there are 4500 where it is free to park your automobile. Marks and Spencers fans, brace yourself as Silverburn boasts the largest one in the whole of Scotland, it also has the largest New Look and Next too. The centre is split into five categories but I've never found this particularly obvious on any of my visits. They have stacks of trendy shops such as Kurt Geiger, Swarovski, Topshop, Vero Moda and many more. If all that shopping tires you out they have great eateries an my favourites are Nandos and Yo Sushi. My neighbour told me that it was called Silverburn because of all the silver shopping trolleys they found in a nearby burn during it's makeover from the Pollok Centre to stylish Silverburn. I'm not sure if this is true or not, but it's quite funny. read more

Located in the South Side, Silverburn is a fairly new shopping centre that brings all the high street stores under one roof. Many of the stores are similar to those at the Fort and Braehead shopping centres. The real difference, though, is the mall itself. It's very shiny and new, with 2-story high ceilings, lots of space, and plenty of surfaces for light to bounce off. It's a bit surreal to witness the first time around, but it's very cool. My favourite part of Silverburn is the lobby at one of the main entrances. The Starbucks has a balcony where you can sit, sip your latte, and people-watch from above. There's also a Yo Sushi sushi bar, which, despite being a chain, is a great place to grab some Japanese food. There's some great food to be had, including La Tasca, Nando's and Frankie & Benny's. All in all, much bigger and warmer than the Fort and way cooler than Braehead. Worth a visit! read more

Silverburn is the most stylish shopping centre in Glasgow. The outside is modelled on that black and white wallpaper you see everywhere these days. There is a very good range of shops, including the biggest Marks and Spencer in Glasgow, but there aren't many options for cheap places to grab some takeaway food. No Primark either. Rumour has it, Marks refused to open up a shop in Silverburn if the was also going to be there as they believed it would attract a poorer clientele. read more

For its location in pollok, silverburn is way to classy with very over priced shops and restaurants. Not a great fan of the place, the only good thing is it's only 5 mins from my home and can always use the 24 hour tesco or even the Argos once in a blue moon. A lot of people I speak to still to this day call it the pollok centre. Which was a lot more suited to the area. read more

What's not to like about Silverburn (or the Pollok Centre as we still call it)? It has pretty much everything you could want in a shopping/retail/mall. A rank above Braehead in class. read more

A fairly good sized shopping centre, though it might not have as many shops as compared to Breahead or East kilbride. It makes up in the size of some of the shops. Though If you were to walk from one end to the other you might notice that the centre has a slight C or S shape to it (from m&s to Bus stands). As such from the likes of M&S, Debenhams, Nando's, TKMax & a massive 24h Tesco (hopefully without the horsey beef burgers). Though from the looks of it with the slight building work that there doing near the entrance from the bus stand & the demolishing of the like of the Farmfood/Iceland, greggs & the chpshop they may or maynot be planning of putting something in its place or an extention to the centre its self. But only time will tell what might happen to that wee bit. read more

So much better than Braehead, Silverburn opened towards the end of 2007 and is 10 minutes drive from the centre of Glasgow. With a good mix of shops, you can find most things here, Coast, M&S, Debenhams, TK Maxx, lots of Jewellry shops and the biggest New Look in the area. And a massive Tescos right next door to the centre! Plenty of places to eat including Go Sushi, Frankie and Bennys, Pizza Hut, Nandos and a Tapas bar. The multi storey car park is very spacious and have sensors in all the spaces with lights above to show drivers empty spaces, I've never had a problem finding a space though as its never been that busy when I've used the multi storey. read more

My favourite of the Glasgow shopping centres, ok it's the closest and easiest for me to get to but I like it!!! It's big n spacious, plenty of room to walk around. Note, it's long and mostly on one floor as opposed to your usual multi level malls. (There's a couple of upstairs eateries and a spa). So there is a lot of walking to do. There's also lots of seats should you need a break :). There's a great tk maxx there where I like to browse for unusual home stuff. There's cafés, coffee shops and restaurants too Big Tesco right next door :) Silverburn is well connected with a big bus station right outside. There's no primark, poundshop, discount type shops here which, i believe, contribute to it being much quieter than other shopping centres. It's currently having work done, they are adding a cineworld, TGIs and more food places. Probably worth a visit when it's all done if you've never been. read more

When I heard that Silverburn Shopping Centre is being built I was thinking ooh, I hope it would be much better than Braehead and looked bigger when it was being building But in the end when it have completed the building and I was inside and thought is that all?! It is complete rubbish and waste of money, as it is huge, but on the outside, it looked like it have about 2 or 3 floors, but on the inside, it is actually one ground floorspace, and highest ever ceiling?! Waste of space really Even there are lots of pricey shops, which sell expensive stuffs, which I am not interested in it So it was really disappointing. So Braehead still gets my best vote But I have not been to the restaurants area yet, as it was not finished the building work. so I will re- review this note later on read more

Silverburn is definitely my favourite shopping centre in Glasgow. There are a number of reasons for this: - parking is easy (use the multi storey instead of the outdoor parking spaces at peak times!) and there are a good number of parent & child spaces which are essential to get my little boy out of the car with an ever expanding bump! - from the multi storey I usually enter the shopping cente in the middle (at Debenhams) which is great for visiting the shops I want in a certain order - I like the mix of stores available (big M&S, Boots, Next as well as some fab newer additions like Paperchase) - the eateries, whilst chains, are some of my faves like Yo! Sushi and Wagamamas - the Cineworld is a great new addition - there's usually something on for kids, my personal favourite it when they have a mini soft play set up, but I often see trampolines / bungee rope things - you can pop to Tesco and pick up groceries at the same time - it's fully enclosed and therefore you remain sheltered from the sometimes harsh Glaswegian weather! - I also like it cause it's super easy to get to from my house but that's not necesarily going to be the case for you all ;) read more

Not à huge fan of silverburn probably due to its location, and shops there. Tesco is massive really like that at silverburn. Good parking and toilet facillities. read more

I love this centre, it has a shop for everyone, and a cafe for everyone, i love marks and spencers for eating, i am addicted to their humungus scones. Great parking outside and if you do a full day trip, pleanty of restuarants to eat in. Plenty of auto banks, a post office and there is also wheel chair hire if you should need to get one. A great place to shop. read more
