There are two shopping centres in Northampton, and this is the larger of them. It's on 2 floors for…read morethe shopping, and then you can (sort of) get to the carparking using the lifts from within the shopping centre as well. I say sort of because the car parking there is a nightmare it's kind of split between two different sections and is really confusing if you don't know what you're doing. The shops are well to be honest a bit ordinary, all the places you'd expect to find and very little else boots, smiths, various clothes shops etc. The sort of places you find on most highstreets anywhere. There's nothing to make the place stand out. The market outside the doors is more interesting and now they're talking of removing most of that so poor old Northampton will loose half their market for some giant viewing screen or some nonsense.

The Grosvenor Centre is situated right in the heart of Northampton and is directly connected to the…read morebus station. As a shopping centre, it isn't a bad place to go with a lot of the big named shops being situated there. The main problem with the centre is the lack of originality with the range of shops on offer, but this is starting to become the case with most shopping centres now and it's rare to find an original gem of a shop on a high street or shopping centre. When you leave the centre this also takes you either right on to the market square or on to the main shopping high street. Unfortunately, it could do with a bit of an upgrade as far as the decor is concerned as it does look somewhat out-dated, which does let it down quite badly.

Barton Watermill: a shopping experience set into a mini (and historic) covered villa, attached to a…read morehistoric watermill. The building itself boasts a huge and historic watermill outside that used to function a few hundred years ago. The inside has now transformed into a variety of mini shops: barbershop, book shop, bridal shop, antique shops, and a garden center. There's also a cafe and tea spot. You never know what you'll find. If you have a spare 30 minutes and are in the area, stop by to walk around and smell the historic smells, learn about the watermill, and continue on your way. Tip: there were lots of books here for only £1. That's a win in my BOOK.

As you would expect, its all clean, well maintained but unless you are used to it, it was a bit confusing, signs weren't brilliant in large crowds. Theres plenty of parking and entrances taking you into the lovely market town of Banbury. Recommended for your weekend browsing!!!

I can't say I was very impressed with the Boxing Day sale this year (Dec 2018), when I went two…read moreyears ago I got some great deals. We arrived at 06:45am to an already almost packed car park. By 9am we were done and ready to go home, people arriving were being turned around as the overflow car park was filled so they were being bused from the park and ride car park way down the road. Bed smart, arrive ridiculously early. Especially if you want Gucci or Prada deals. The queues were already mental before the shops opened. Other than that, some great stores, and have your passport ready for VAT refund services available on the same day you buy all your goodies, don't wait until the airport!

I hit a few when I was there but by far the best was Max Mara! They had soooo much stock and everything was very well priced! I also love the way they have designed the mall - it's all outside, very beautiful and the bathrooms are such high quality. There is also really great food there! Although we didn't eat there this time. If you're in the area or even close enough to drive or get a train I'd highly recommend heading over to get some great bargains!

Fairly good size mall, seems upscale-ish. Atmosphere - 3 stories Fairly new mall, indoor/outdoor spaces. 20 restaurants/bars, from casual to fine dining. Main restaurant attractions would be the ones on the rooftop terrace. Cinema, 24 hour gym, etc. Events are held here too - see website.

That was love at first sight guys. Nice getting lost in places like that.

By far the biggest shop in Weston Favell is the giant Tesco that overshadows every other shop…read morethere. With it's location being central to pretty much the whole east-side of Northampton, it can get pretty busy during the weekend. After the recent expansion providing a new, fresh look and feel, there were also quite a few more shops added, (such as Wilkinson and Peacocks) along with an extended floor-space to accommodate some shopping stalls to be setup, which is great for seasonal use etc. The only negative thing that I can really say about the centre is that it can get over-run with school kids around lunch time and after school because there are a few schools within walking distance.

Weston Favell shopping centre looks like it could do with a bit of a makeover, but if you live…read morenearby it is pretty handy and does have quite a good range of shops. It is not a huge shopping centre, but it does have a really big Tescos that sell everything from food, clothes, toys, TVs and electrical, and a huge range of other products. The layout of the centre is a bit weird and I often forget where some of the shops are! There is free parking which is great, inside and outside, although it gets really busy especially on Saturdays and it can be difficult to get a space without driving around a few times. It is not a place I would choose to do my Christmas shopping, but it suits everyday needs.

I've noticed the premises is always kept clean and there's rarely any rowdy or offensive behaviour. The market has some bargains, you can find the odd great summer dress for £5. It's open every day except Mondays and Wednesdays. It gets crowded on weekends, but that's to be expected in any City shopping centre. You get the odd bird flying around, too. Also, I'm not sure what the fountain is now, there used to be a gorgeous fountain near Nandos and it's been covered over.

Living in London/Essex, and being addicted to shopping :) i was rather looking forward to going to…read morethe Center MK, having heard that it was the largest shopping center in UK or something i couldnt wait. Although i dont agree with it being the largest shopping center (it may be largest as in space taken up, but lakeside/bluewater etc are on 2 floors and i think there are more shops in these) It still was worth a visit. All the shops you would expect to find in a typical shopping center, with shops ranging for all budgets. I was slightly disappointed as i couldnt find a 'designer' shop - such as Choice/cecil gee etc like in london, but then i was looking for Ugg boots and they had an Office so i managed to get them anyway. Just thought there would be a 'higher class shop' - But then i suppose because HOF sells quite a few designers, they dont need one. A good variety of shops and Food places, clean and staff are helpful. I do find the layout slightly confusing, i have been there about 5 times now and i couldnt tell you where a certain shop was - there are loads of side alleys and different entrances etc - got a bit confusing! Also some shops are repeated (H Samuels and a sports shop etc) although apart from that it was a good day out. I like the center of the shopping center with the fountains etc, and the exhibitions they have on are great! Good entertainment always and a great day out!

It has the usual High Street names, ie Dorothy Perkins, River Island, Burtons, Claires Accessories, Thorntons etc. they also ocaasionally have small stalls set out in the middle selling gifty type items. They do special events in the school holidays and to promote other keys times, ie Halloween or Christmas. It has an undercover carpark attached, which is not too expensive and is good for when it is raining. There are two coffeee shops in the middle, my favourite is Esquires. All in all, this is a good place to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon, for some retail therapy.
