    Very busy older type of shopping centre. Hard to park in peak periods, empty and grey in off-peak. Get the usual everyday shops in there and restaurants too.

    If you stay in Milton Keynes or the surrounding area. It's a must-see for you because it's a location brimming with every type of outlet you could imagine. Since my first visit to Kingston Center, I've had everything I wanted within reach, including fashion shopping, a supermarket, and a variety of foods. The most intriguing aspect is the availability of accessible parking spaces for all, including free ones, so you don't have to worry. Visit and check out some of the nearby game centres. You'll certainly thank me later.

    To be fair to it. The Kingston centre is a decent out of town shopping and eating place. Several entrances and exits. Many eateries and shops. Just gets very busy at times. To be honest, if you are looking at a review for it then you are looking for something I probably can't give you.

    The grilled lamb skewer was really good. Waiter is super friendly too. Was given complimentary bread and tea. Would come back again.

    This was actually one of the better services which was available. It is a bit afar from the main road, but it is a far better vibe to enjoy a nice chilled meal or drinks at the local Starbucks.

  • 5/5 S K. 1 year ago on Google
    Kingston Centre has a nice little hub of shops, these include Tesco, Boots, Holland and Barrett, Clarks and few others. I only really visit the Costa coffee shop here. I also visited the Tim Hortons Cafe with my friend for Breakfast however, my friend was not impressed- you can see why in the video clip. I've been to the Cafe Nero here too but the service was SO SLOW and the staff were not friendly 😒 so won't visit this one again. Plenty of parking, there's a library here too, it's a nice casual day out if in the area and there's the Big Rock climbing centre nearby too.

    I visit very often here for shopping various things and also to visit my favorite Sai Baba temple. There are all kinds of shops available here including a Tesco extra. Car park is open 24x7 and free for three hours at once. Lots of reserved slots for physically challenged at prime location. There is a customer restroom near Tesco. Overall, it's like one-stop-shop.

    there is very variable of stores, restaurants and grocery stores to choose from. also many free parking lots available yet most of the mobile carriers are not viable. many connections to public transportations

  • 5/5 Shelley B. 2 months ago on Google • 119 reviews New
    A very lively retail park with many different dining options available and some other good shops/activity hubs to engage with. One that caught my eye (but I didn't visit) was an indoor climbing centre

  • 5/5 Colin G. 1 month ago on Google • 115 reviews New
    Nice food, hot and quick! No messing, get exactly what you pay for. Restaurant was clean, staff were friendly and the facilities nice to use. Top marks👍🏻

  • 4/5 Gerry H. 5 months ago on Google • 62 reviews
    I Don't go there for the shops. The Milton Keynes Table Tennis Centre is the big attraction. Easy to find, next to the Gymnastics Centre just a short walk from Tesco.

  • 4/5 Anand N. 1 year ago on Google
    Tesco is big with almost all the things u need. Plus lots of other stores including Aldi's, boots, etc and restaurants like McDonald's, Tim Hortons, Starbucks etc there

  • 3/5 luke s. 1 year ago on Google
    Milton Keynes MK Centre shopping centre is just okay. It's not particularly special or unique. It has a decent selection of stores, but it's not particularly large or impressive. The layout is fine, but it's not particularly easy to navigate. The food court is decent, but there are better options in the area. Overall, it's a decent place to do some shopping, but it's not particularly noteworthy.

  • 3/5 Quoth 7. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a centre of shops and eateries. Plenty of big names. Tesco, McDonald's etc. Importantly Parking is quite good. Accessing the parking is not so great. Would be better if the Costco sorted out it's entry and exit in such a way that didn't cause traffic jams.

  • 4/5 Elaine O. 1 year ago on Google
    If you feel like a spot of lunch,and you don't want to go into the city..there are several places to eat.Also a variety of shops.And a big plus,parking!

  • 5/5 Sue P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice shops. Plenty to look around. Parking was easy to find a spot. Places to eat, coffee shops, Aldi's, Home Bargins, Home Sense they had some lovely things for the home. Even have a place to go climbing if your feeling energetic

  • 5/5 Rei H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great size shops, well stocked, car park is free and good size. I really hate that Tesco trolleys need a coin though, I always forget to bring one with me and struggle.

  • 4/5 Chris B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nearly dropped a second star due to the parking difficulty at peak times. I will avoid nearer Christmas as the parking wars commence. Ugly. Shopping variety good, eating places totally uncompetitive and over priced for the food quality provided. The library is very handy though, so the centre gets to keep the fourth star.

  • 4/5 Sorrell Y. 1 year ago on Google
    A good place to shop. Plenty of free parking as long as it’s not the before week before Christmas. Then it’s really busy.

  • 4/5 Michael C. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a shopping area, free parking but gets busy at peak times. Lots of cafés and restaurants, fast food. Petrol station too.

  • 5/5 Ankit S. 1 year ago on Google
    You've got everything here, right from cafe's, shopping centres like tesco, lidl and Costco. It's absolutely fantastic to live nearby, plenty of people own dogs here, so if you decide to go for a walk you will get to see quite a few of them. Most importantly it also has a gymnasium (pure gym) which is crucial for me if I'm living in the nearby area.

  • 5/5 Robert G. 9 months ago on Google
    Kingston is great, free parking, lots of shopping, including a shoe shop, which is always better than having to go to the city center, pay for parking and have to walk miles. And Kingston has lots of food places, and a library, chemists, opticians. Toilets ( next to Tesco) so much less stress than the city centre.And Free Parking.!

  • 5/5 Dumisani y. 10 months ago on Google
    Its a good place that provides a variety of the shopping experience, from grocery stores to clothing and even dining places for an eat out. The place is spacious and there's a fuel station as well as a car wash too. There's also a gym too

  • 5/5 Brucey 1 year ago on Google
    A variety of popular shops and a large Tesco. There are some independent shops for board/card gaming, salon, framers and gallery. Some nice cafes and restaurants nearby. Library is located at the end row. Pretty much everything you need and decent amount of parking.

  • 4/5 Lewis 1 year ago on Google
    A good little shopping area. Just don't use the disabled bathroom next to Tesco (opposite the cafe) as there's a gap between the door and the wall (see photo). Unless you're able to move the screen on wheels to block the gap. Probably about half cm? Definitely enough to get a good view through. Not sure who to report this to.

  • 5/5 Lesley P. 9 months ago on Google
    Good variety of shops and restaurants. Large Tesco's which sells most things you could need. Went to Home Bargains to stock up on various things.

  • 5/5 Dottie O. 9 months ago on Google
    Wilko, Home bargains, Aldi, Macdonalds and more all in the same centre...and Tesco extra a stone throw away not to mention Costco is nearby too. How convinient!

  • 5/5 Administrator TosaMu (. 4 months ago on Google
    Nando's is a culinary delight, where the vibrant atmosphere meets a symphony of flavors. The star of the show is undoubtedly the peri-peri chicken, perfectly grilled to succulent perfection with a tantalizing blend of spices. The menu offers a variety of heat levels, ensuring there's a spicy adventure for every palate. The sides, from the spicy rice to the peri-peri fries, complement the main dishes harmoniously. The restaurant's commitment to quality is evident in the freshness of ingredients and the skillful preparation of each dish. Beyond the exceptional food, the ambiance at Nando's is lively and inviting, creating a perfect setting for gatherings with friends or family. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding a personal touch to the dining experience. Nando's unique approach to casual dining, blending bold flavors with a warm atmosphere, makes it a standout choice for those seeking a memorable and delicious meal. Whether you're a spice enthusiast or just looking for a delightful dining experience, Nando's is sure to leave a lasting impression.

  • 5/5 Raff Di R. 6 months ago on Google
    I live around the corner so having these shops right on my doorstep is so convenient. It deters me from needing to go far for the weekly shop and for other bits and pieces. The Tesco and Aldi are good to have along with the other shops like Holland & Barrett and the Costa is a nice touch.

  • 4/5 Rosie Raccoon B. 7 months ago on Google
    Plenty of variety regarding shops & eateries. There’s even a gymnastics centre. Public toilets are available, however, the sinks/hand dryers could do with an upgrade in my opinion. Nice outdoor area with benches to sit & eat at.

  • 5/5 Vinod G. 6 months ago on Google
    Good shopping centre with all major brands, library, haircut, pizza, sai temple.Good place for weekly groceries , shopping and recreational activities. However lacks gym/swimming pool. Also no much of recreation for grown ups

  • 3/5 John E. 6 months ago on Google
    Sizeable edge of town district centre for which the prime shop is Tesco occupying a large spot Others include Aldi,home bargains, boots,homesense ,there is also numerous eating places of all kinds either within or on outer perimeter. Although there is still free parking, when busy it can test your patience as your also open to the elements and seems a fair amount of walking around due to the layout .

  • 5/5 Karl H. 4 months ago on Google
    We love going to Milton Keynes for shopping and its always especially nice at Christmas time, best to get there early as it gets extremely busy

  • 4/5 Shaun P. 1 year ago on Google
    Pros Nice location Really friendly staff on this occasion visiting The Cafe run by Tesco. Would have been an average review otherwise. There was a good selection of high street food stops Free EV charging Cons A little on the pricey side. Must be inflation. I was more disappointed that there was no milkshake 😔 Poor mobile reception (Could be O2). Safe choice of food outlet make it nothing overly special.

  • 5/5 Prash P. 2 years ago on Google

    Very nice place to be. Love the Outlook and the variety of products one can get from the various shops within the Kingston Center.

  • 5/5 Andrea M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very busy! Full of nice shops. Very big Tesco. I love their courtyard with the picnic tables, you can have coffee and good food there. There is also a Warhammer place where you can also sit and play board games. I haven’t been in all shops but their Clark’s is nice and the staff lovely.

  • 2/5 M R. 2 years ago on Google
    After not going to Kingston Nandos for a long time we were really disappointed in the restaurant. After waiting 20 minutes for a table we sat down. The table was clean but the floor area around us was really dirty. Even when people sat down the floor underneath there tables was still left dirty with food and TISSUES! We ordered our food which took ages to come and when it did the mains came out but they forgot our starters which we eventually got a refund for. The waiter did his best but ultimately not very good at all.

  • 2/5 Ann S. 2 years ago on Google
    Only given 3 stars as we only went to tesco in the area. Never go tescos again, rip off, so many foods are high in price, what should have been about £30 spent it was triple the price and we didn't get much stuff. Not been into the other outlets there but I assume they are the same as everywhere else and I love visiting these wen I need to, such bargains you can find unlike tescos.

  • 3/5 TheCraftyDad 2 years ago on Google
    I’m sure Kingston centre itself is actually fine and it’s just my cantankerous nature, but I always find this place kind of inconvenient; From the maze-like carpark, cleaved in half by a covered walkway, to the ‘double-back’ route needed to reach Tesco’s and adjacent in-door shops, everything just seems a bit annoying to me. This Tesco store has its toilet entrance outside the store so, when shopping with an eight year old with an overactive desire to pee at the most in opportune moments, half-way through a shop you have to abandon your trolley and make a mad dash in the hope you A) battle through the poor people browsing the wares and reach the toilet in time. And B) Make it back to your trolley before a member of the Tesco staff has begun returning your abandoned goods to their original locations. The whole place is always busy and I guess people wouldn’t return if it was all bad, but this review is from the perspective of a grumpy old man with a large ‘lockdown-belly’, a wife with a ‘Homesense’ addiction and an eight year old with ADHD and a pea-sized bladder! On a positive note; I’ve never struggled to find a parking space and there’s a McDonalds 👍

  • 1/5 Aamir N. 2 years ago on Google
    This place has gone down dramatically in the quality, cleanliness and service. We will no longer be going there again and would rather travel an hour to the halal one in Oxford. Online and telephone orders are also not accepted and this has been the case for months! Stupidly though, you can go there and speak to the same person in person and place the order and then wait 45 minutes at least for your order. Save your time and money and go elsewhere.

  • 5/5 Maxine H. 2 years ago on Google
    Got everything I needed and more at the Kingston Centre. Also the shops are open until late, so I can finish work at 5pm and still do a few hours of food shopping! So glad I've recently moved into this area!

  • 5/5 Rash S. 2 years ago on Google
    Brilliant retail park with a good selection of shops, Tesco Extra, Holland & Barratt, Wilkinson, HomeSense, HomeBargains....soon to open Aldi. Shame that Next and Marks & Spencer shut down. The location of this retail park is great, right near Costco and the motorway. 5 stars......

  • 4/5 SkydroL A. 2 years ago on Google
    Geek cafe shop inside the mall with comic shop inside to buy boardgames, figures comics, MTG cards and warhammer paint and figures. Also has a Big Tesco, a charity shop and a cafe with tasty vegan muffins and vegan option coffe and drinks. Massive parking, McDonald's and nandis outside. Good location 👌

  • 3/5 Nigel C. 2 years ago on Google
    It's OK, but having three supermarkets all competing to sell toothpaste next to other outlets that also sell toothpaste is a bit OTT. Shame the restaurants are all chains and not individual family run type establishments. It could be a great area and it certainly caters for most but it lacks something.

  • 1/5 Master C. 1 year ago on Google
    Cheap stores with cheap employees that don't know how to act. Marks & Spencer moved out of shopping centre foe a reason. Tesco is only store worth going to ....several times shopping in Trsco & can't get a receipt due to no paper role in self checkout. Just not food enough.

  • 5/5 David C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great shopping centre around my area. Great shops to choose from in a range of groceries home appliances service and of course the food restaurants. A good mix of places to go for food and about enough to choose from and experience things. Really do enjoy myself when visiting this place.

  • 3/5 Caroline S. 1 year ago on Google
    The addition of a Home Bargins and an Aldi have now made the Kingston Centre a good one stop for all home. and grocery needs. Alas losing the Marks and Sparks is a big shame for something a little higher end, but what is there covers most needs. Parking just about copes in peak times. Fast Food and Coffee outlets a plenty. Tesco fuel.

  • 5/5 Zapple 0. 1 year ago on Google
    👍Lovely shopping centre with an excellent Primark, lots of choice for the ladies and maybe could be a bit more for the men if I'm honest but a lovely atmosphere and plenty of room to move about makes it a really nice shopping experience. recommended.

  • 3/5 Joy A. 1 year ago on Google
    Not bad, went into Tesco. Massive shop, bit difficult to find stuff as signage incorrect so find yourself wandering round in circles and walking miles. I would only go if I really had no choice.

  • 1/5 Kylie M. 1 year ago on Google
    I've lost count how many times we order from Kingston Nandos and a few times the food has been cold or one item is missing but never said nothing but this time round I'm beyond disappointed with the food delivered. The long stem broccoli was lifeless and the box was one third full??? The chicken was dry and burnt chicken. I tasted the burnt flavour and it went straight to the bin. Tried to call the store to complain about this but no one answered.... shocking! Absolutely disgusting.

  • 3/5 Katy H. 1 year ago on Google
    Always busy, struggle to find parking. However a great choice of shops to explore. Live tgd new Home Bargins

  • 4/5 Vikash C. 2 years ago on Google
    Good shopping centre with a large Tesco superstore, multiple other shops and restaurants. Good place to get any items you need. The many restaurants provides a good place to spend time. Recently there have been the addition of a climbing wall, 2 gyms and a library which enhances the experience.

  • 5/5 Michael H. 1 year ago on Google
    Parking is a problem during school holidays anywhere around the Kingston Centre. You almost think the kids are driving... But I guess they like to shop with parents. Anyway. Today the centre was busy but mostly adults doing their usual. Parking always seems to be tighter near Boots and Aldi's. Less busy on the other side in front of Tesco itself. I like visiting all the shops in the complex and don't mind the walk, so grab a trolley and off I go.

  • 4/5 Lee F. 1 year ago on Google
    Good local train station set within 10 mins of the town centre. Coffee house and food outlet. Good wheelchair access and lifts too various platforms. Fastest train too London 35.40 mins longest approx 1hour.15 mins

  • 4/5 Roxanne 1 year ago on Google
    Nice retail park. Very big Tesco store with good clothing selection. Other shops around as well, all in all, a nice place.

  • 4/5 Joyce O. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favourite shopping centre in Milton Keynes. Its close to Costco and they have big Tesco. Its good for shopping with the kids and dinning out with friends

  • 2/5 Matthew D. 2 years ago on Google
    Fairly grim shopping precinct. Large Tescos and plenty of empty stores. Chaotic parking.

👍 Westcroft District Centre, in Milton Keynes, is a pretty good shopping centre.
