Rivergate shopping Arcade is situated just near the Asda in Peterborough, it is well worth a visit…read moreespecially if you have shopping to do in Asda as you can reclaim your parking fee at Asda checkout. It strikes me as a small but traditional arcade with some nice small shops and some of the better known shops are here. There is a Subway which is great for a bite to eat as well as a 'bistro' style restaurant. There is also an ideal world shop located here. The arcade is nicely laid out and very clean and a pleasure to walk around.

Rivergate shopping centre starts opposite peterborough court and leads through to asda, there are…read morequite a few shops inside rivergate and these include: £1 store, comet, peacocks, iceland, george, kempston shoe shop, a bridal wear shop, italian restaurant, coffee shop, hairdressers and then through to asda and then pets at home is a short walk from there. There is a large car park outside asda and a bus route just outside the court so rivergate is very easy to access. I find rivergate a great place to shop as there is a wide choice of shops to visit in such a small location. The italian restaurant is lovely and asda also has a restaurant above it so there is plenty of food outlets to choose if you dont want to walk too far. I find rivergate great if your doing a grocery shop and would like to look at a few clothes shops at the same time and it save the hustle and bustle of the main town centre. Rivergate is a great little place to visit and I would recommend it to anyone.

More and more people are moving here from other parts of the country and what I hear again and again is they LOVE it. Yes, hard up people have much more 'rubbish' stuff than the well off, but this does not make THEM rubbish. Hopefully will carry on attracting friendly down to earth people who will sing it's praises and those that think they are better than every one else (despite lacking key interpersonal skills) will stay well away. Not actually a review of the market which is fine (and early days) but sick of the Wisbech bashing that goes on.

There seems to be far more stock in a good range of sizes and styles. You can get anything from good value basics, like underwear, socks and pj's to much more high fashioned items all at fantastic value. There is a much better range of home ware too these days and at the moment a good selection of Christmas gifts ranging from smellies, to toys. They also seem to have a good collection of Christmas decorations and wrapping papers etc. The staff seem to be plentiful and happy to help you. There also seems to be much more staff to replenish stock too, which is great! Downsides that I can think of are there always seems to be long queues and the changing rooms are pretty dire!

The staff are helpful and polite and I have never had a reason to complain when using this shop. There is enough room to move around but it is not over large a store, but the size is what you would expect on a high street. It is very handy to have this facility in the town centre. They also have a well used notice board in the window for customers to use.

Shops present are Next, H&M, Debenhams, Boot, Phone 4 u, Oasis, Millie cookies, La senza, Claire's accessories and many more designer shops all under one roof. The location in the city centre makes it sometimes exciting to leave your quiet room, sad you may think but it is quite thrilling. After my morning activities, I walk few mins to the bus stop to catch the park and ride bus all the way to the city centre. Then walk a short distance through the park to Grafton centre, where I fill my eyes with the things I can't afford and the things I can definitely go home with me. After all the shopping and the tired feeling, I stop at one of the restaurants to have my lunch before going home. It is a great way to spend ones Saturday and for family shopping.

Serpentine Green - or Hampton, as I would call it - is a handy shopping centre in Peterborough…read more Whether you want to call in at the large Tesco or have a wander around the shops, it's a great contained area, good for a trip out when the weather is bad. To begin with shopping, as is the best way, there is a Next, Outfit, Mothercare, New Look, H&M, Boots and WH Smith, to name but a few. As Outfit include labels such as Miss Selfridge, Topshop and Dorothy Perkins, it helps to please everyone. The shops can get busy, especially if people decide to bring their trollies into the store (you can only get them outside, which really brings out the lazy in people) and inevitably cover up the till points. Food options are pretty standard, with places such as Subway and the Tesco cafe at the far end of the centre in a food hall style set up. The Tesco is 24 hours, and offers everything from food and salad bar to electrical and clothing and is much much larger than its Barhill cousin, which is closer to home. Check outs were busy on our visit, as they always are at Tesco, but staff were efficient enough. The car park is large, with what seems like plenty of disabled parking, so try not to lose your car!

Serpentine Green has got to be one of the worst designed places I've ever had the misfortune of…read moreshopping at. Serpentine Green is dominated by Tesco and requires you to become as rude and obtrusive as possible when shopping. Unless you're willing to barge your way through the aisles full of dithering shoppers and stock cages left by staff then you're better off shopping online. The Tesco store is 24 hour, but that just means that the lights are on. You'll struggle to find more than a couple of checkouts open (even when customers are queued three or four deep), aisles are completely full of cages from the night shift restocking and most fresh meat and produce shelves are empty. For their part, the other shops in Serpentine Green aren't that bad and some are better than their city centre counterparts. Unless you're there at an odd time of day (around 10am in the week), then you're faced with parking miles away from the doors and queueing at every opportunity. For some reason, people actually travel to visit this place when they have amenities on their own doorstep. The car park is badly designed so that in peak times everyone funnels out onto a tiny roundabout and then proceeds to change lanes. Had they given it some thought when they parked up, they might have found it easier when leaving
