Victoria Shopping Centre is a small shopping centre, serving the town centre of Harrogate…read more It is a fairly small shopping centre but does still have a fair number of stores including Next, Sports Direct, WHSmith, HMV, New Look and Poundland, as well as hosting the town's only branch of Starbucks. The layout of the mall is easy to follow, many of the stores are in the exterior part of the mall, with TK Maxx taking up the whole of the top floor. They do close at 6 pm Monday to Saturday, and at 4:30 pm on Sundays, so do plan ahead if planning to visit in the afternoon. The building the mall is housed in is actually reasonably grand and impressive from the exterior, but in terms of the interior, it's nothing too impressive or easy on the eye in the main retail area. 3* - They have some good brands here, but the selection is small in general, it's a shame the stores that are located in the outside area of the mall don't have better protection from the elements and do close at the same time as the indoor part with no good reason.

As the previous reviewer mentioned, the Victoria Shopping Centre is a lovely old building, that…read morecontains a fairly smallish, but nice selection of high street shops, with a huge TK Maxx on the top floor that should not be missed! Other shops in the centre include, La Senza, Julian Graves, New Look, WH Smith, H&M, Athena and the wonderful Cornish Pasty Shop. The centre is well laid out, with both escalators and lifts to move between the 4 floors (the top floor is purely TK Maxx, and the bottom floor New Look (and an external entrance to JJB). All in all, worth a visit if you're in the Harrogate area, the centre is centrally situated, and is near both the railway and bus stations.

Harrogate Train Station is the main railway station serving the town of Harrogate in North…read moreYorkshire, it is a rather small station, with three platforms, although they only tend to use two of them. Pretty much all services go into Leeds (29 km north of here), so odds are, you may need to change trains there, depending on where you are going, as I had to, to get back to Manchester. The station is served by both LNER and Northern Rail, with the latter managing the station and providing the majority of the services that use the station. It's a typical old-school station, lots of steps and walking across the footbridge between platforms, there are lifts though if you have access needs or a heavy suitcase. There isn't much in terms of food/drink inside the station, I did notice a Cafe, next to the Ticket Hall, but this was closed on both my journeys to and from the station - being right in the town centre, it is easy enough to hop across to get a snack / bite to eat there. There is a small waiting area on the platforms, with a couple of places to sit down under shelter. Access to other modes of transportation to continue your journey is also good, with a taxi rank outside the station, and an adjacent bus station. The station is staffed, and the staff seem friendly enough. PRO TIP: If you're picking up or returning a parcel, there is an Amazon Locker, and an InPost Locker, right outside the station which can be handy. 3*
