It has excellent car parking and shopping facilities including a Tescos, Next, Matalan, Iceland, Boots, Superdrug and Lloyds Chemist, Clarkes and Brantano shoe shops. There is a large Newsagents a public library plus other smaller establishments. There is also a hairdressers and plus public toilets are available at the centre also. There is a Fish and Chip shop which is well known by the locals and serves excellent fish and chips which you can eat in or take away. There is also a very nice cafe and a Dominos Pizza. At weekends sometimes there is also a Van that parks right in the middle of the shopping centre and serves very tasty food. You can also sit outside to eat this as there are usually table and chairs provided. I shop here quite often and as I don't drive it is very handy as there is a bus stop which drops you right off at the Shopping Centre. If you fancy a short walk there are quite pleasant woods that you could wander round just across the road from the Centre.

Its two storey and they sell just about anything from childrens,ladies and menswear to toys and homewear. I love coming in here but you have to have loads time because there is so much to look at! The clothes are what i normally go in for, and i think they are good quality and very reasonably priced! Lots of tills and plenty of staff that are cheerful and willing to help!

Things are generally in the area they are supposed to be. The staff are generally helpful and polite - of course there are always those who are the exception to the rule. The store is generally not hugely busy and when it is they do a pretty good job of making sure they put the extra staff on the floor and on the cash registers.

It is a medium size mall and I was impressed about how many US stores this mall have. I also liked the price of the products of the European stores. I found very good deals and took advantage indeed. There are a few places to eat as well and of course there is a Starbucks store located on the second floor and TJMaxx on the first floor which the name is slightly different but I can't remember exactly what it is. The prices where much better than the US stores... When I visit my friends again I will definitely come back to check some more good deals and gifts for my friends and family in USA.

Oasis always has great sales also. If find their clothes very trendy and their jewellery is gorgeous. They do some great office wear and lovely day wear.

The clothes are lovely colour and are extremely long-lasting, most of my oasis stuff I've had for many years and show no sign of deterioration!

I think Toys r Us is amazing and this is my favourite branch - barely a week goes by without us…read morevisiting. Toys R Us's are all very similar to look at, and have the same layout. They always have plenty of stock, and lots of special offers. The Basingstoke branch doesn't have a toilet and baby changing facility, which is worth knowing as most branches have, but thats the only downside. Staff will go out of their way to help you. If what you want isn't on the shelves, they will go and check the warehouse: and last year when everywhere was sold out of pink DS Lites they weren't allowed to reserve stock for people but would call you as soon as the item came into stock.

Well, they've quite a lot (if you crane your neck to look up as well as down) and the prices are pretty competitive. If only it wasn't so bright, garish, there was an opportunity to rest your feet (the store's pretty big). Anyway, I still exited lighter of wallet, lighter of heart (got what I was looking for) and pleased that I, a father who has precious little time to go to real shops, managed to contribute to my little ones happiness.
