West Quay is what would be a standard out-of-town shopping centre based in the city centre, which…read moregives Southampton some really useful extra department stores. Includes, JJB, Argos, Borders, Furnture Village, Tesco Home, Staples, Halfords, Boots, and Brantano. With McDonalds and TGI Fridays oppositem, and a Starbucks in Borders, and a Novotel, Ibis, and Etap hotels also there offering cheap stays. Tesco Home was a flagship new market idea for Tesco with the store concentrating only on homewares and is a wonderful idea, and often very packed out. Parking is plentiful and as its free, everyone uses it. Free for 2 hours with parking attendants there all the time its quite good! Also frequented by the youths with they're show-off cars of an evening, so not the place to bring a learner driver!

Good retail park with lots of choice. Shops include a Tescos Homebase an Argos a mothercare and a…read moreJJB among others. Really easy to navigate and a good choice of shops. It is also very close to a TGI's and a McDonalds as well as five hotels, which means that if you want to come from another city to shop it is ideally placed. Parking can sometimes be a nightmare and the carpark gets really busy. There are security guards and parking attendants walking around which is good and you feel very safe even when it is dark. It is a clean and tidy area and it is soon to include an Ikea.

I have very fond memories of this mall because when I used to work on ships, this was where I would…read morecome to hang out when docked in Southampton. There was reasonably priced food, wifi, and I could get a little shopping in. This was 15 years ago. Glad to see 15 years later, this mall is still kicking, and they have really built up this area a lot more. They still have a nice mix of stores, although some of their kiosks are gone, like their Whittard's kiosk. The food court wasn't bad, although I did notice a couple places were empty. There is still wifi, although that's less of an issue now. And they still have the M&S, thankfully. If you're going on a cruise, and have some time to kill, I think this mall is a great stop, especially considering there are other things in the area too if you get bored with the mall. There is another mall in the area, but that one is a little more empty, whereas West Quay still seems to have a crowd.

The Westquay Shopping Centre is very big. We came here once during our stay in Southampton. We…read moredid a bit of shopping, but for the most part we just walked around, window shopped, and people watched. The place was packed with people. Maybe we were all just escaping the rain that day. Westquay was very clean and they had a nice assortment of stores. My wife's favorite store was Marks & Spencer. This large department store had some good deals. My favorite shop was located on the second floor (I believe). Actually, it was more like a large kiosk. One girl was manning the place. It was called Continental Bakery, and the selection of baked goods was fantastic. I ordered a couple of Pastel De Nata which tasted excellent!! Very good price points also! Wish I had bought some other stuff while we were there. Anyways, visiting the Westquay Shopping Centre is a "Must do" when in Southampton. I noticed that there is also a Nando's Restaurant upstairs in the food area which I'll have to go to next time also.

Very large indoor shopping mall located in Southampton, West Quay has a variety of department and…read morespecialty stores in a very modern setting. We got to experience it during the Christmas holidays, which was nice for sight seeing. It opens at 9 am on weekdays, and the outside doors opened to the public about 5 minutes before. Many of the stores open soon after. The 3rd story consists of a variety of restaurants, all of which were closed that early in the day. Instead, quite a few coffee shops were open, including a lot of Costa's. The center of the mall consists of elevators and a set of escalators. Even at 9, there were quite a few people working and browsing.

We didn't do too much shopping, but we did check out a few stores. We also went to Marks & Spencer…read morefor some food. West Quay is big, with over 80 stores and over 50 cafes, bars, and restaurants. There's even a movie theater and bowling alley. Best of all, it was conveniently located next to our hotel.
