For somewhere so small, manages to cater for everything your could want in the goth, emo and punk categories. They have a huge selection of band t-shirts and the cheapest body jewellery in Derby (£2.50 a piece!). Also have hair dye, bags, belts, buckles other fashion accessories. They also carry living dead dolls, which are tricky to find nowadays! Very highly reccommended.

In that…read moretime, I have never, ever found such rude and bad mannered staff as I have at Viva Hate, Derby. We were in mid-afternoon and my son, 6, was looking at badges to buy. My partner bought him a Minecraft badge, and left the shop. As me and my son were getting ready to go, my son spotted some other Minecraft items, as six year old's do. I called him over, then looked at the counter assistant, who was looking supremely annoyed, and was grumbling to himself. I called my son over, and then looked once more towards the counter which is next to the door, and the assistant was literally scowling at us, and shaking his head. I said to him "what is the problem" Counter Assistant: "I want to go out, I have to go". (There was no way of us knowing this) I call my son, who came over... Me: "There's no need to be scowling at him, he's six years old!!!!!" C/A "It's not him" Me: "So I'm a problem now?, all I've done is bought an item and spent at most, 4 minutes in your shop, and you have the nerve to scowl at my six year old son" I was furious, and once my son was out of earshot, I gave the assistant a piece of my mind, not that he was in the least bit bothered. He shut the door and left the shop. I popped into the next door unit, which is also part of Viva Hate, and asked the counter assistant there what was the problem with the person next door. This counter assistant just scowled too!!! I have never, ever been to a shop that so clearly didn't want custom. It was like the sitcom Black Books, but nastier. Incidentally, we went straight from Viva Hate to a store next door, and they saw the look on my face and were totally, totally wonderful, and pretty much put me, my partner and son back on the track of having a lovely day out. Anyone heading derbywards, I IMPLORE you, do not go to Viva Hate, go to Asylum, find a Blue Banana, go to brum on a train. There is zero excuse for such rude behaviour from counter staff.

intu Derby has had various names over the years, it became intu Derby after the centre was bought…read moreout from Westfield in 2014, but before then it was known as The Eagle Centre. Located in Derby city centre, around half a mile from the train station it has 199 stores over two floors, with the upper level mainly being occupied by restaurants. The largest anchor stores over 3 levels are Marks and Spencer and Debenhams. The mall is modern in most areas, however, other parts could certainly be done with some improvement which seemed so poor, it looks like two different shopping centres in comparison. The mobile signal around the mall was terrible, It even got so bad I had to go into the Three store, who is my mobile operator who explained it is bad and they normally have a signal booster which wasn't working. Luckily the centre did have wi-fi but even that was pretty poor. The centre is the largest shopping centre in the East Midlands region in terms of area and is the 14th largest in the country (Just 227 meters squared larger than intu Milton Keynes & thecentre:mk) The security staff gave me a bad vibe, they seemed like they were wanting to cause trouble and didn't seem as friendly as elsewhere in the UK, which could be said about the mall staff as a whole, but it is still one of the better shopping centres in the area with some nice brands including the city's only Starbucks store, you can also find stores from Nando's, Carluccio's, Jack Jones, Hugo Boss, WHSmith and more, so it is one of the best places to shop in the city even if it does lack multiple brands which can be found at smaller malls in Nottingham and Leicester such as Currys PC World and Apple. 3*

Now, I'm not normally a fan of shopping centres, but I have to confess I was seriously impressed by…read morethe new (opened in October 2007) Westfield Centre. It's seriously large inside, with 175 stores anchored by a large M&S and Debenhams. But what I liked was the bright, light and seriously minimalist finish to everything, and apparently all to a very high standard. It was about as far from a crappy British shopping centre as I have ever seen. On the inside, it also steers clear of that horrible cheap and tacky atrium style of architecture. It looks as though someone has at least tried to put some thought into it all. The stores were - unsurprisingly - mostly the familiar set of High Street names, although there were also some clearly local outlets, too, although a few of these looked perilously close to discount stores. But, overall, I was impressed - and surprised, because Derby isn't that large a city. Only 4 stars? Well, for such a huge place, their signposting and mapping wasn't that great, even with the hi-tech touch-sensitive store and location finder. (Nice technology, shame about the map). They have the usual range of services (toilets, parking for 2,000 cars, etc) as well as a cinema. It's slap bang in the middle of the city, so it's hard to miss.

They stock a large range of items, including petite clothes and lingerie and accessories. The clothes are well spaced out, so it's easy to navigate with a pram or wheelchair, and the racks are regularly refilled. The stock has regular updates for seasonal items, and I believe they can order other items in. The shop is located inside a shopping centre, so has no dedicated parking, but is easily accessible from the multistorey car parks. New Look is upstairs, but there are stairs, escalators and lift access.

All the products are always in their specific places at all times and so it is always very tidy. Seating is available in the middle so it is easy to try shoes on. This schuh store is in the westfield centre and so it is easily accessible. The staff are friendly and ahppy yet a litttle too keen to help you because they ask if you want help as soon as you walk through the door. The shop is very small and it can get very busy and croded during peak times. The shoes are not really that cheap but are usually worth it because they last a while.
