Queensgate shopping centre is a modern and well designed shopping centre in the heart of…read morePeterborough shopping area. It has two multi story car parks which have always seemed very safe and secure when I have visited them. If you use the one closest to the centre you do not have to go outside. You access the centre via a road bridge from the car park. The main bus station is situated just below the shopping area with escalators and lifts to take you straight to the shops. Queensgate is clean and spacious with plenty of shops to keep you busy for the day and if you require the need of more shops its many exits lead you out onto other shopping streets in Peterborough. There are plenty of places to eat or get a soft drink. I do feel there could be more toilet facilities but as many of the stores do have customer toilets it's not a major problem.

Queensgate shopping centre is a large shopping mall with several floors. They have two good sized…read morecar parks attached to the shopping centre, one is within the centre and the other is across the road, however there is a footbridge that links the car park to the centre. At peak times it can be a bit of a nightmare getting into the car park, so be prepared for a bit of a wait, a week before Christmas last year on a week day I was stuck in the queue for the car park for an hour! The majority of the major stores are located in the shopping centre as well as plenty of eating places.

Rivergate shopping Arcade is situated just near the Asda in Peterborough, it is well worth a visit…read moreespecially if you have shopping to do in Asda as you can reclaim your parking fee at Asda checkout. It strikes me as a small but traditional arcade with some nice small shops and some of the better known shops are here. There is a Subway which is great for a bite to eat as well as a 'bistro' style restaurant. There is also an ideal world shop located here. The arcade is nicely laid out and very clean and a pleasure to walk around.

Rivergate shopping centre starts opposite peterborough court and leads through to asda, there are…read morequite a few shops inside rivergate and these include: £1 store, comet, peacocks, iceland, george, kempston shoe shop, a bridal wear shop, italian restaurant, coffee shop, hairdressers and then through to asda and then pets at home is a short walk from there. There is a large car park outside asda and a bus route just outside the court so rivergate is very easy to access. I find rivergate a great place to shop as there is a wide choice of shops to visit in such a small location. The italian restaurant is lovely and asda also has a restaurant above it so there is plenty of food outlets to choose if you dont want to walk too far. I find rivergate great if your doing a grocery shop and would like to look at a few clothes shops at the same time and it save the hustle and bustle of the main town centre. Rivergate is a great little place to visit and I would recommend it to anyone.

Serpentine Green - or Hampton, as I would call it - is a handy shopping centre in Peterborough…read more Whether you want to call in at the large Tesco or have a wander around the shops, it's a great contained area, good for a trip out when the weather is bad. To begin with shopping, as is the best way, there is a Next, Outfit, Mothercare, New Look, H&M, Boots and WH Smith, to name but a few. As Outfit include labels such as Miss Selfridge, Topshop and Dorothy Perkins, it helps to please everyone. The shops can get busy, especially if people decide to bring their trollies into the store (you can only get them outside, which really brings out the lazy in people) and inevitably cover up the till points. Food options are pretty standard, with places such as Subway and the Tesco cafe at the far end of the centre in a food hall style set up. The Tesco is 24 hours, and offers everything from food and salad bar to electrical and clothing and is much much larger than its Barhill cousin, which is closer to home. Check outs were busy on our visit, as they always are at Tesco, but staff were efficient enough. The car park is large, with what seems like plenty of disabled parking, so try not to lose your car!

It has a real unique feel about it, while you shop the place plays some great music too!

Its the centrepiece of a very tidy shopping centre which houses names such as Next, Boots and so on, but the Tesco store itself is worth a visit on its own.

There are plenty of such places in Peterborough, however Sue Ryder Vintage is by far and away the most impressive. Set over two storeys they have everything from vintage fashion (with designer brands not uncommon) to old cameras, retro video games and collectibles from the last century going all the way into antiquities. There is also a large collection of vintage records on offer as well. There is truly something for everyone here whether you are going in simply to browse or have intent to find that one special item. The staff here are all enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. It is nice to visit a vintage store and have passionate people to talk shop with as it were. This definitely adds to the atmosphere of the place which is something that you will definitely want to soak up and enjoy. The icing on the cake for me is that the prices are very reasonable for what is on offer and often, I find things for less than I see them going for on ebay and the like. Whenever I am in town I always pop into Sue Ryder Vintage and I can only recommend that you do too. It is really a place where you can kill a few hours poking your nose into corners and discovering some fantastic bits of history for sale.
