I'm a great fan of the shopping centre as it's on my doorstep and, although the stores might not be massive, the 50 shops (including many high street chains) are ideal for my everyday needs.
There are a number of clothes shops including Peacocks (loving their Pearl Lowe dresses!), Select, Bon Marche, New Look, Dorothy Perkins as well as some bargain shops.
The centre's also home to Poundland & Bodycare for more bargains; WHSmith and Rymans for stationery; card shops and a perfume shop for special occasions; a butchers and greengrocers for fresh food; and Greggs and Firkins for a well-earned pit stop.
Not forgetting homeware stores, shoe shops, mobile phone shops, a bank, Thomas Cook travel agent and Superdrug... there's even a pet shop, brow bar and cobblers!
Iceland's always very popular (thanks to its home delivery service that saves you from having to lug your bags home), as is Wilkinsons, and both stay open until 6pm Monday to Saturday.
This is a local shopping centre, at the heart of Northfield, with over 600 car parking spaces. There are also bus stops outside, with buses to nearby areas such as Weoley Castle, Longbridge, Bartley Green, Bournville and Kings Norton as well as other parts of Northfield.
It used to be called the Grosvenor Shopping Centre but changed its name to Northfield Shopping Centre in 2005, although locally many people still call it 'The Grosvenor'. read more
