Easy to get here from the Metro's Pentagon City stop .. when you get off the Metro and exit the turnstiles, just follow the signs at the "T" for Fashion Centre. There's a mix of regular and high end stores here, so you're sure to find a store that has what you're looking for. The food court has a number of fast food options, but you'll need to walk around nearby for better-than-fast-food. The one thing that annoyed me was no directory! None of the boards that should've been directories displayed any kind of map. And no, I do not have any interest in scanning a QR code to pull up something on my phone: in a public place like that, I have no idea if it's legit or not, or if it's a fake one that will hijack my phone or wallet. PUT THE MAPS BACK.

It was very crowded with high school kids hanging out and playing games in the area. I was able to go around and check out the different stores. On the bottom floor there are several food options. I was able to pick up some food at Harleys Sandwiches. You have your usual fast food options available. Afterwards you can head out and catch the metro nearby. It is easy to get to from DC or Virginia. I enjoyed coming here to get out of the heat and relax for a while.

There is a HUGE amount of disposable income nearby- with the thousands of people living/working/shopping in Ballston...literally blocks from the Buckingham area... I'm sure eventually someone will come in and dress up this depressed section of Glebe Rd, including the Buckingham shopping center. However, as it stands this building and the surrounding ones are such eye sores that I don't blame new tenants for moving elsewhere. If someone doesn't improve, at least cosmetically, the businesses in this area and increase the walkability- it means no new jobs or economic improvement for Buckingham area residents. Buckingham writ large and this shopping center in particular have a small town feel with tons of auto traffic and potentially foot traffic. .. Please, please-can a developer come in here and spruce this place up? I know a yoga studio or at least an organic market would be well appreciated and promoted by local residents. Perhaps it would also start to diminish the current number of loiterers hanging around across the street outside CVS and McDonald's. Admittedly the parking situation is not the best...but neither is the parking situation in Clarendon or Courthouse. Perhaps a garage can potentially be built on top of the Buckingham shopping center or a nearby business.. If impossible, it would be beneficial to add bicycle parking and make the sidewalks wider/smoother to accommodate foot traffic.

Buckingham Shopping Center is located in the Buckingham historic district in Arlington VA. across…read morefrom which is the famous Glebe market. The shopping center is host of several small businesses including Buckingham flowers. The entire district was deemed historic in 1999. The site is composed by apartment complexes and the shopping centers. I could not find markers or memorials that would provide the history of the district or why it was deemed historic which is quite disappointing. I grew up around these apartment complexes and thus they hold a close place to my heart but I wish they would do more to highlight what makes this district historic. You can tell from the brick building and architecture why these are worth preserving but also it would be nice to have some sort of structures to teach people about the history of the county. Obviously there is no fee to visit the district. I visited the neighborhood in 7/17/2016. The picture on this review is not mine and any one interested should probably visit this site where I found it. http://www.greatbigcanvas.com/view/buckingham-shopping-center-1-glebe-rd-pershing-dr-arlington-virginia,76418/

We typically go to Banh Mi Oi which is our favorite spot for Banh Mi but never explored the Eden Center on the other side. If you decide to go over the weekend then be prepared for trying to find parking. It is madness. Not enough parking spots. You'll have to play parking wars and some of the spots were taken by some of the tents for outdoor seating but once you get past that it can be a little wild. Lots of people and so many food options. They have restaurants along the outside and even some hidden ones inside some of the entrances of the indoor corridor. I would suggest probably researching first based off options and where to eat. There's plenty of dessert, bakeries, and even some small markets. There's an Asian grocery store that's almost like an H-Mart which has a wide variety of Asian groceries, snacks, and food. We went to one restaurant that was pretty good and the wife got Ban Bo Hue and I had the grilled pork. It was decent and there were a lot of people waiting in line. Only thing is you could only pay cash. They have an ATM around the corner but have a service charge of like $8 from what I can remember. I would recommend this place if you love Vietnamese food. I would love to go back to explore some of the other places we didn't get to see.

There are lots of hand-made craft and unique gift items (ramen stall, truffle stall, cat & dog stalls, as well as plenty of jewelry, chocolate, candle, toys, ornament, and crafts stalls). I bought a Ramen bowl from Japan for hubby, Truffle butter @ Truffist, and dark chocolate Oreos (the dark chocolate pretzels aren't that good) @Capital City Jar, kudos for being a long-time vendor! I also got an overpriced $40 onesie @SOL, the material was very soft and made in the U.S. In terms of the hot chocolate stalls, the Truffle stall and the S'mores N More are my favorite. The Marshmallows are gigantic and should have mixed them in! I got a pack of 6 marshmallows and picked out the flavors - Rainbow, Cookies and Cream, and Toffee Marshmallows. The Racklette sandwich was delicious - you must try it! It was so fascinating to watch the melty swiss cheese get scooped off the big truckle cheese wheel and sandwiches into a soft baguette roll. The Churros with Dulce Leche filling are a must - I always get the every year! Kudos for being a long-time vendor! The Dirty Habit Chalet boozy is a bit gimmicky. I paid $17 for Whiskey and Cider, I wish it was served warm and the service was lukewarm. The air-fried Gnocchi from Carmine's was a complete miss and a total disappointment. The Gnocchi lacked the crispy edges and pillowy soft juicy center. The texture was completely off from the air fryer. Excited to go back next year for some more gifts and delicious goodies and sweet treats!

And each year I always end up bypassing it because after a long day at work, the last thing I want to do is be jammed in with a bunch of other people going from booth to booth. I finally took the time to visit here and probably picked one of the worst times to visit, during a hockey game. With the influx of people coming into the area for the game and the arena right there, it made navigating to and through a nightmare. The downside here, and it is probably the only downside, are the amounts of other people. They will do one of two things. One, forget about their awareness to where they are. By this I mean that they will forget they are not the only person here at the holiday market. Two, the other people will either push you along, or walk at a glacial pace. Jamming up crosswalks and entrances to the main area. Two things you cannot control and you just have to go with the flow here. I will say it is lively and welcoming. Once you do make it into the stall area you will have to take your time to sift through what there is to offer. From gifts to food, you can find it all here. Live music is a usual draw as well which lends to the magical feel that you are in the middle of a DC street and don't have to worry about a thing. All of the vendors are local, so this is a big shop small venue. Offering you everything you can think of as a gift for a special somebody. Definitely worth a look around the holiday season.

It's an old building, attached to the Rosslyn Metro station. It has a dark and run down feel to it, and really not much to offer in the way of actual shopping. However, for those who live or work in Rosslyn, you get used to the dinginess of it and the hobos that incessantly loiter in the public restrooms on the second floor and around the first floor open seating. (Note: Avoid the 2nd floor public restrooms at all costs, unless you enjoy watching less fortunate individuals bathe themselves). Skywalk Cafe is on the 2nd level -- not a bad weight-and-pay restaurant for those who are feeling indecisive and want some buffet style food (mostly Asian). There's a Rite-Aid which is honestly the shining star of this "mall." And a Panera just opened on the first floor (Yay). Theres some other odds and ends stores around like a constantly empty women's clothing boutique (I frankly do not understand how it is still in business), a cute little jeweler (M&J Jeweler), a barbershop that appears to be stuck in the 50's, and some Bank of America ATMs. No need to come here unless you live/work in the vicinity or need to kill time by the metro.
