Princes Quay is a small shopping centre in Hull city centre, the state of the shopping centre…read moreright now for me is heartbreaking as it has so much potential. It's built over Prince's Dock which adds a unique twist to the centre, meaning as you walk along, you can see the river which looks so beautiful in the sunshine, yet the mall is full of either cheap, tacky stores or empty units. There are very few familiar brands in terms of shopping, other than a large Primark store. It does get better for food and drink, with some options including Nando's and Pizza Express and for leisure, there's a Vue cinema. The security staff in the mall didn't seem too friendly and made me feel uncomfortable just for wanting to visit Pizza Express. This place has so much potential, they need to shut the place down for however long it takes to renovate the mall and fill the empty units, as for now this is only going to be a place one would visit if heading to the cinema or a specific brand within the mall, it just seems depressing to walk through. 2*

St Stephen's Shopping Centre is the main shopping centre serving the town centre of Hull in the…read moreEast Riding of Yorkshire, the location within the city is good, it's pretty much right next to the train station. The mall opened in 2007 and the interior still feels modern, especially in comparison to the rest of the city. It's pretty much a straight high-street-style walk throughout the mall, with a small number of food and drink outlets upstairs including Starbucks and Nando's. The main flagship store in the mall is a large Tesco supermarket, this remains open between 6 am and 12 am between Monday and Saturday, even when the mall shuts much earlier. Between the hours of 7 pm and 12 am when the mall is closed and Tesco is open, you can expect to be allowed to enter the mall, but only for Tesco with barriers in place. Again, I do find the mall shuts a little early, while the centre remains open until 7 pm, most of the stores end up closing an hour earlier and starting to wind down even before that. With the location of Hull pretty much in the sticks, with few alternatives nearby, this makes it even more frustrating for people who prefer to go out in the afternoons and evenings. The selection of stores within the centre is OK. Brands located here include Boots, EE, JD Sports, Superdrug, TK Maxx and a couple of others. The security at the front seemed friendly, and helped offer directions elsewhere in the centre, although they could have done with being inside the mall, due to groups of children loitering, and littering, which meant the mall was untidy and I was having to watch my step to avoid getting something stuck to my shoe. Again, lots of wasted potential, and the best out of a bad bunch of places to shop while in Hull. 3*

Flemingate Shopping centre is a the new shopping street located near the train station in Beverley…read more This review is based on todays experience (2 weeks after opening) and as I visit in future, I will update my review. Firstly, although it is classed and called a shopping centre, it is really a street with shops all long both sides. The street itself is quite pretty and keeps the styling of its surrounding areas. It was very clean but there is a lack of seating areas (not that we'd want to sit down as it was raining!). There are still loads of empty units. To be fair, most of them have been let and are just waiting for the tennants to move in, but at the time of writing the selection was ok, nothing special. The main tennant was Debenhams, which is quite a bit smaller that the Hull City Centre branch, but is much nicer and has that 'new' feel to it. Other retailers that are open include Calendar Club (pop up shop), Card Factory, Poundland, The Entertainer, Tresspas, Wilko, Costa and Patisserie Valerie (located within Debenhams). Units let and still to open include PremierInn, Parkway Cinemas, Greggs, Deli No One, Stagefright, Zizzi, Outfit, H&M, Guest & Philips and local clothes shop - Bolo. As you can see from the list, when everything is up and running, there will be quite a good selection. There is plenty of parking thanks to the multistory car park. There are only a few spaces on levels 0, 1 and 2 but get to level 3 and there is plenty more space. Prices are ok, but not really cheap either (especially when you can use one of the free car parks in the town centre), however, it is only £2 all day on a Sunday. The PremierInn will be using the car park which has a fee of £7.50 per night. From the street you can walking to Beverley Town Centre in about 10 minutes, which has a lot of the high street names missing from this development, such as Boots, WHSmith, M&S etc. On he whole, a nice development which, when all the units are open, will have a nice variety of shops and restaurants

You name it. The staff are very friendly and pleasant, always on hand to help. I myself am saving up for Xmas (coming to quick) and they have some great ideas for presents too.

I have actually had a member of staff verify my age on the machine without actually aknowledging me but carrying on a converastion with a colleague some distance away. I don't know what it is with this store but it is full of ignorant staff. I'm sorry that I came in and interupted your conversations but don't worry, I won't be doing it again.

It is a high-end store and (call me fussy!) if I am spending big numbers I expect service and knowledge without question. This is exactly what you get here. I did my homework and armed with enough questions to floor a professor I proceeded to test their knowledge and found them infallible! I have bought houses for less than I spent that afternoon but came away feeling I had negotiated a great deal with an item of beauty that is available only in very few outlets in the country. I am sure there will be only a couple of occasions I may need to spend this amount on jewellery in my life so I will make a point of returning here when I do.
