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.

West Quay is an indoor shopping mall. My husband and I shopped here one time…read more The mall contained several dozen stores and a few dozen restaurants. Some brands were local, and others were non-local. I am from the U.S., and some stores and restaurants here are also in the U.S. Therefore, I felt most interested in the non-US brands such as Marks & Spencer. This mall is also supposed to have ice skating, bowling, and movies, although I did not participate in those activities.

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 mall is located right next to our hotel. Decided to take a look to kill the jet lag…read more The mall is huge. There are several levels, with a nice variety of stores and food establishments. There is a parking garage. Definitely a nice place to spend an afternoon.

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!

After having a tasty snack at Pizza Pilgrims, went to the two story Rolling Stones store which was my favorite place on Carnaby Street.

For any one of my friends traveling into London I always recommend veering off a little to Carnaby. Over the years some shops have come and go but some of my favorites remain open. I'm a huge Great Frog lover and their shop is nearby, also for us rock n rollers I can't help stopping into The Rolling Stones Uk store. Lots of major branded stores but also cute local vendors and stores. It's a very walkable street and safe. Plenty busy so come earlier in the day to beat the crowds. Another pro tip is catching a reservation at dishshoom down here as I've found it easier to snag a reservation here than at their other locations. Plenty of dining options though and local stalls like Starbucks and Joe & the juice. It's a touristy street of shops but I love it - definitely bookmark this area on your must shop / see list when on this side of town.

Poole Dolphin centre is what was the Arndale centre and serves as the main shopping centre for…read morePoole. It is joined to the quay by the high street. Stores in the Dolphin centre include big names such as Boots, New Look, Top Shop, and Beales. The variety is quite vast and caters for all needs. There are plenty of shops that are set on two levels with plenty of parking in pay and display multi story car parks. The Bus station and train station are joined onto the Dolphin centre so access by public transport is just as easy. The Dolphin centre boasts many coffee shops and food outlets allowing everyone to take the weight off and enjoy a little bit of a break. The Dolphin Centre is always clean and tidy but it can get busy especially on Saturdays and sale times. For a days shopping why not try Poole.
