It's a nice shopping centre, light spacious, very clean and well maintained. Excellent clean toilet facilities, just sadly far to many empty units. Shops there are useful, but the place badly needs more names and brands. This place really deserves far more recognition and success. Blame the council for allowing far too many out of town faceless retail units!

It's a really good shopping centre. Good few shops and everyone is fighting for the costumers, which is turn is good for shoppers getting more for their money.

Good prices. Various products Social distance measure on place !

A great selection of shops to visit (New Looks, Peacocks, Next and more). As well as this, they also have a range of activities centres for children and adults including IndiRock. Excited to see what else the Victoria Shopping Centre will be bringing to Southend.

I come to Victoria Shopping Centre when I have a shopping list that warrants a trip to town and, more often than not, I don't need to go any further. I can even get my blood tests done there, and there are clean toilets and a nice place for a coffee.

A good range of shops to visit, plus fun activities areas for children and adults. Well kept facilities and some lovely coffee shops.

The best thing is it's exit sign. Small, escalators not working, very few shops, unkept, miserable/depressed staff. Lucky the place was small otherwise we wouldn't be able to find to find shops.

Fair range of shops, although quite a few units were empty. The shopping centre looked clean and tidy, it's well maintained.

Good amenities.

Good place for shopping, from Poundland to Next there is something for everyone. It has to be said that the top floor is heavily underutilised, yes there are a couple of stores etc... but there is room for improvement, but all in all it was OK for Southend-on-Sea when we were a town but now we are a city, you can do better.

The shops which are there are great. I think the council could work out plans for small companies to have reduced costs. This could fill the empty shops and improve the experience.

Like most shopping centres these days, adequate, but looking a bit tired with some units empty. Loos clean tho.

Opening hours are different to what is stated on the page. Page says that the centre is open until 10pm but after talking to centre management after a bit of confusion I got told that the centre actually closes at 6pm

Always liked here, just a pity there are so many empty units, but some good shops non the less.

The whole of Southend is a fantastic high street with 2 indoor shopping centres,on this occasion in the Victoria I was actually having a blood test,A1+ for experience, no pain , well organized top facility

Vastly improved since they stuck a roof over it 2 decades ago,bright and airy,Seldom visit these days as I don't live close by but 5 miles away and used local shops

The shopping centre at the heart of Southend on sea is an ever busy arena where several hundreds of shoppers daily visit to buy and sell commodities, goods and services. It is home to several of the UK's leading banks and other financial institutions. It is equally a walking distance from the southend borough council and other administrative divisions of the city. It is easily accessible by bus, taxis, trains as well as hundreds of parking spaces for those who visit in their cars.

A fairly standard British shopping centre. Inside there's the usual high street suspects. Basically you'll find the likes of Boots, Next and Deichman etc on the ground floor and many independent stores on the 1st. Inside is also very modern and looks like it's been refurbished recently and everything looks new and clean. There's several options for eating, though nothing special. Nothing wrong with the shopping centre if you're in the city anyway. Sadly as with many shopping centres in the UK, Victoria also suffers from closed shops and several of the units lie empty. There's no need to go out of the way to visit.

Shopping centre ok. Parking was a bad experience. We parked there to do a bit of shopping,then walked down to seafront and had fish and chips. Parked just after 12.00 thought it would be £6.50 for 6 hours then free after 6.00pm as other car parks in Southend. Left car park at 8.00pm,tried to pay on exit at the barrier,would not work other cars behind me had to back up on an awkward bend then had to leave the car at the barrier to go to back to inside pay machine,which worked £12. ☹️

Shame that so many of the shops are empty but what is there is pretty good; new look, next, boots and a shoe shop plus several independent stores for all sorts of things. Nice little cafe in the middle as well!

So very different to how it used to be, now fully enclosed Boots, New Look, Next, Peacocks & Wilkinsons are the main retailers along with a few independent shops. Lots of empty units esp 1st floor. Clean and tidy toilets good and clean to. Car park above shopping centre is pay on exit. Car park is now ticketless it picks.up your number plate on entry. When you leave you need to go.to the payment machined on the ground and 1st floor, enter your car reg the machine will then tell you your pq4king cost pay with card or cash. When you get to the exit barrier this will now raise automatically.

Visited the NHS Blood Sample place as I had to give a sample of my blood. Its the first time to this place. I walked around the entire centre before I found where I was supposed to go. No signs apart from a hand-written piece of cardboard on the coffee shop counter. The NHS place itself was OK. Pleasant & polite reception staff & lovely phlebotomist.

Love shopping there at next poundland boots etc

Clean, accessible, very handy. Just a shame the bottom floor is so empty looking now Wilko has gone

Always clean and easy to get to. Shame so many shops are empty so isn't really much to do here apart from next, deichmans, wilkos and the cafe!

Not bad wilco closed down so that was whole of bottom tier closed really some good clothes shops could do with more

It's fine, you can find a lot of stuff here. But missing one star as the cake stand at the entrance is gone. I used to buy a lot of delicious cakes there.

Great shopping centre does have a lot of empty units that need new Retail Shops to attract more shoppers.

It has two lifts in the entire building, with over 20 shops and upto 7 floors and two lifts is not enough. You have mothers with push chairs and people in wheelchairs, elderly and people afraid of escalators all cramming into two elevators. Otherwise, there are not enough wheelchair accessible toilets but the floor to manoeuvre is smooth once you have gotten up the hill.

The only reason is getting 2 stars is because the blood test clinic was so welcoming and clean, when I got out of that bit I just wanted to run out straight. It's literally not such as shopping centre, it barely got any shops in there. Unfortunately not visiting again, until there is actually shops inside

Very big shopping centre with multiple shops to enjoy getting everything you need on the daily partically love the elvis cafe brilliant cafe.

It has the shops you need in the centre and is ideal for going in, picking up and then moving on quickly. It always has been thanks.

Not alot of shops, but those that are there are good, boots, next, peacocks, shoes, cafe, willow and pound shop

Oh dear this place is depressing. The star is for having good and clean toilets. There are shops open inside but you wouldn't know it. Sorry

About time this place got a magic wand and brought it into 2022! Mostly empty no ambience and is a sad sight as it could be a great mini lakeside!

Kids loved it!!! Lots for the family great to get to train too.

There are now several small tables selling bric a brac, and apparently a climbing wall and a games area with bar, not well signposted as I walked by without seeing it or any signs. I saw the defunct Mr Tangs, A better looking coffee area, a few shops, but nothing of great appeal. Better advertising and signage, perhaps a few more craft fair stalls selling better crafts. I would walk through from the car park, but wouldn't worry if I didn't go there again.

Escalators out of order, parking payment machine out of order, no way to pay for parking at the bottom level. A sixties shopping centre that refurbs haven't upgraded to the 21st century.

Depressing, soul less, it's really only as a last resort that I now visit Southend. There's many homeless and mentally ill people who obviously aren't getting the support they need.

Strange place, great toilets some must visit shops pound land, Wilko etc. Lots of empty units. Sad to see Vic shoes has gone. Strange to be confronted by a puff head female window tint applicator on the first floor. Brooks I think the shop was she was working at. Not alot to do whilst waiting for someone to complete a lesson. I would suggest to said stoner if you don't like being watched at work drop a dust sheet or ply up rather than aggressively confronting people in a public place! Paranoid?

Very good selection of shops. Nice building and good COVID rules, with mandatory mask wearing.

Very posh place nice & clean

Lots to do with a number of different shops and clearly marked social distancing messeures with a one way system in effect

Shops good. Wanted to have lunch at the Birdwood cafe but sadly all tables taken. A popular venue!

Surprisingly calm and quiet,easy shopping

The shops that are available are good but could definitely do with some more better shops as there isn't a great deal of choice and i think it could that all the empty shops spaces could be filled with shops that are great for low spending like the pound shop and wilko. If this was done then I would one hundred percent give it 5 ⭐

Absolutely amazing centre

Not bad

Undercover

Beautiful with out many people

Good variety of shops

Excellent

Never been the same since they put the roof on and upped the rent, alot of my friends left their units in there many years ago but still houses some handy shops and is clean

Very clean and pleasant just a pity more members of the public do not wear masks.

One way system hand sanitizer stations. Support Debenham

I love going here to enjoy a wimpy burger! Great for shopping, friendly staff, never had a bad experience.. TOUCHWOOD. But once you visit, you'll definitely get what I mean about great shopping experience. Overall 10/10.

Nice tidy place, just a lack of businesses opening within... A sad symptom of the death of the high street.

How about opening the toilets absolutely disgusting keeping them shut. It's a basic human right!!!

Have upped my rating as they are doing the very best to improve and draw in new outlets

I always feel comfortable at this petrol station be using this place for a few years now.

Not many shops to go into

Great place

Nice place to shop,a wide variety of shops to visit

Great

Visited Next clothes shop ,no crowds during week and found what I wanted.

Shops aren't great not many

Victoria is a ok shopping place nice coffee shop in middle

Wilko

Visited the pound shop

Shame so many units empty

The toilets were in a right state, stuff under the bottom of the toilet paper holder. Another toilet blocked. Other than that nice one way system but no one was using it and people walking in without masks unchallenged.

Good but empty

Not a good time to review due to covid.

Very quiet at the moment

It was sad ,it was all shut down. Pity

Got mugged

Virtually empty.

Nice place to shop, especially in the winter .

Got what i wanted
