4/5 Honest R. 6 months ago on Google
I
visited
the
MetroCentre
while
on
holiday
in
the
area,
mainly
just
to
see
what
it
was
like
as
it
is
listed
as
the
UKs
BIGGEST
shopping
centre.
As
soon
as
I
arrived
I
parked
easy
as
there
were
plenty
of
spaces.
Parking
FREE
is
a
bonus
too
as
it
means
I
can
explore
shops
for
as
long
as
I
want
without
worrying
about
carpark
fee's
clocking
up.
This
benefits
both
the
visitor
and
the
retailer's.
It
was
good
to
see
the
use
of
some
solar
panel
car
ports
in
the
carpark
too!
When
I
entered
the
shopping
centre
it
looked
just
like
any
other
UK
shopping
centre,
but
it
wasn't
very
busy
like
many
are.
I
was
glad
to
see
that
the
MetroCentre
had
provided
proper
paper
maps
to
show
the
location
of
the
shops
toilets
and
other
facilities,
it
was
very
considerate
of
them
and
the
map
came
in
handy.
As
for
the
shops,
there
was
a
good
range
of
shops
as
expected,
plus
a
Namco
Fun
Scape
entertainment
centre
and
climbing
activity
centre,
which
are
handy
if
you
get
bored
of
shopping!
Outside
the
Shopping
centre
were
even
more
retail
units,
they
were
a
bit
of
a
walk
away
though.
Considering
the
size
of
the
MetroCentre
I
was
very
surprised
not
to
see
a
big
"central"
food
hall.
There
are
plenty
of
food
outlets
scattered
about,
but
they
are
not
all
grouped
together
like
in
some
shopping
centres
I
have
visited,
like
Merry
Hill
Shopping
Centre
in
the
Midlands,
which
is
operated
by
intu.
In
Merry
Hill
there
is
one
big
hall
with
about
20
different
food
outlets
around
its
edge
selling
every
type
of
food,
from
Fish
&
Chips
to
Chinese.
Although
the
MetroCentre
is
listed
as
the
largest
shopping
centre
in
the
UK,
some
parts
of
it
are
like
a
ghost
town!
Absolutely
full
of
empty
unused
retail
units.
For
the
FREE
parking
alone,
the
MetroCentre
is
well
worth
a
visit
to
do
your
shopping
though,
so
I
totally
recommend
it.
