The Swan Shopping Centre is a clean and tidy environment in which to shop with a pretty display of planters and a few benches on which to rest awhile. Their are 19 shops although three at the moment are vacant.
It has a Next, Dorothy Perkins, WH Smith, Boots, Sainsbury's, Carphone Warehouse, Costa Coffee, Clinton Cards and Stead & Simpson along with Timpson, Munch and Holland & Barrett. Purrfect Pet is a huge shop offering everything for pets and wild birds and there is even a good barber, Company Man and Thomas Cook for your travel needs. So all in all a good useful shopping centre. There are lifts in Sainsbury's but also the Centre itself has two other lifts. The car park has great big arrowed signs on the walls in blue showing a clear way to the shops and it offers overnight parking for people wishing to stay in the Travelodge.
The town has a market every Thursday and Sat and there is good disabled access with a Shopmobility scheme on the 2nd floor of the car park every Tues and Thurs. Leatherhead also boasts plenty of places to dine out and as it is on the edge of the beautiful Surrey Hills there is some wonderful countryside to enjoy with pleasant walks along the River Mole. Leatherhead hosts several events each year which take place in the town and in the Swan Shopping Centre - these are St George's Day festival, The Annual Duck Race, Halloween and a Xmas Festival.
So not a bad place to have on your doorstep. read more
