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.

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.

Fosse Park is large out of town retail park close to Leicester. It is easily accessible from the M1…read moreand M69 motorways or about 15 minutes from Leicester city center. I worked in the Fosse Park Next for nearly 2 years so I know the place very well. There are about 20 large clothes stores including M&S, Next, River Island and plenty of electrical and home stores as well as a large Asda. Parking is free, but at busy times it can be difficult to find a space. At Christmas and sale times people can be seen abandoning their cars on the approach roads to the park! In all well worth a visit if you dont want the hassle of the city center, with all the shops you will need.

There is also an Asda Petrol station with pay at pump and a carwash. In the main area of Fosse Park there are quite a good range for of shops like Dorothy Perkins, BHS, GAP, Monsoon, Boots, Marks and spencer. The opening hours are good and on Sundays most shops there don't close until 5pm which is gretat There is also quite a large food court with a McDonals, KFC, Pizza Hut, Druckers, sandwich bar etc but it gets really busy and you will struggle to get a table sometimes. The large carpark gets very full up at the weekend so avoid peak times. On the plus side, the car park is free. Cross the road near BHS and you get to the furniture/electrical part of Fosse Park where you will find shops like PC World, Argos, Harveys. You can spend a good day at Fosse Park without heading into Leicester city centre and having the expense of car parking.

Springfields is a smart and modern shopping centre on the outskirts of Spalding…read more I have visited it many times but there are no variety of stores. When Springfields Shopping Centre was built, it could only house retailers selling older discounted stock. It's a great place if you love clothes and shoes, but apart from that, it has nothing more to offer. Several of the eating places (Burger King, Fresh, Ice Cream Kiosk) have closed down. The Garden Centre Restaurant remains but can be a bit expensive. The Gardner Arms has changed management and it's service altered for the worse. That was a while ago now so it may have improved. To conclude. Springfields is great to buy clothes and shoes from. It is not the place to browse for passtime or a 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.

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.

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.

For us a new "find" since we just relocated (escaped?) from the USA and moved to our dream home…read morejust 5 miles away from this shopping area in Burton on Trent. We just happened to notice it yesterday as we went for lunch at the Winery nearby (did I say our favorite restaurant in the region?!?!) Today we stopped by to have a browse on a beautiful sunny day. The area is lovely, seems to be a reasonable amount of parking nearby. It is basically an extensive, light and airy shopping arcade. Many wonderful shops like Marks and Spencer's (including their wonderful Food Hall), various clothes stores such as Primark but many upmarket ones too, WHSmiths, Boots, and so much more - eating places galore for pastries, coffee and snacks. Good experience, loved it - we WILL be back very soon (next week we are planning). Rain or shine (since it is all covered) this is a real shopping gem!

It is a nice clean spacious shopping centre.

Although there have been many empty units in the center for some time, It has recently seen more shops open in the center. There is a large security team for such a small center who seem to think that they are gods and do nothing other than stand in the enterance flirting with ladies. Primark, ELC, Top shop, New look, 3, O2, la senza, bay, clintons and the gift company are just a few of the shops in here. The center itself is bright and clean, nicely decorated. I did notice they had their christmas decorations up far too long. The enterance from the high street can be very slippy when wet. Having almost fallen on my bum several times I know this from experience.
