I kept walking in circle for over 20 minutes looking for JD Sports. The numerous shops made it enjoyable still. Oh yeah; and there is also a chocolate shop on the ground floor. That was love at first sight guys. Nice getting lost in places like that.

Ah The Galleria, a staple of my miss-spent youth. The shops here are average to pretty rubbish…read more(though they do have a massive Waterstones) and you'll only get one or two of the big name high street places. I never really went shopping here because, while it has a fair number of shops, it never really has anything that you want or need. Guess that could be just me. The cinema is where I spent most of my days, chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool and watching some films after school. The cinema is average price with student discount and with your standard of sugary rubbish to enjoy while watching a film. The cinema screens themselves are good, the Digital screen is awesome, but the chairs and leg room leave something to be desired. It can get quite uncomfortable if you're a tall and are in a packed screening, but this rarely happens here, which is a other bonus. All in all a good place to while a way a fair number of hours with friends or that special someone.

I had seen the Galleria so many times from the road, passing under it, and been curious. Was really…read morelooking forward to visiting it but it is a souless place. Although it looks huge it takes hardly any time to go around and has nothing to recommend it in the way of differnt shops. They are the same as any high street. A large open area in the centre was laid out as a furniture vendoes. The stuff was ugly..even tasteless..and overpriced. Quite a few restaurants..untried but mostly the usual chains. The only saving grace, for me, was a pleasant cinema complex where we went to see Stardust. So much anticipation..such a disappointment.

Factory Outlet North Finchley is nothing like that. There are some good deals to be had, even a rack starting at just 5 pounds. I'll admit the clothes in this shop are taste-full and beautiful. There is a particularly nice brown ruffle dress in a silky material for 22 pounds and some lovely knits that wrap around your body. The staff here is friendly enough and not up your arse, in a way that is common in a small store. I like to come in here and have a poke around.

It's like a UK vision of Target in the US now - lots of very high-quality merchandise at not unreasonable prices. The cafe here is particularly nice. We had snacks on the first occasion and a bigger meal on the second. A great selection of choices, all served very swiftly by extremely helpful staff. (The peculiarly British quirk of being unable to swap out one side dish for another was a problem on one occasion -- "No, I'm sorry, the manager won't let us do that" is about as useless a response as "Yeah, we don't seem to care what you want; you should have what we've got and be happy!' -- but I'll forgive that because their coffee was actually drinkable, unlike most department store cafes.)
