Bluewater Shopping Center

Advantages: easy to park, loads of shops and restaurants
Disadvantages: quite far away

...to hate shopping, however the Bluewater Shopping Centre has made the whole experience so easy and pain-free, I've actually started to quite like it! I had never been before and must admit I was rather intrigued to see what it was like as I had heard many people talk highly of it in the past. Living in London I found it hard to justify driving around the M25 purely to go shopping for the day, but as soon as I arrived I realised why I had driven so ...
...a thirteen screen multiplex cinema! Bluewater is one of the largest shopping centres in the UK and I believe one of the best. The architecture of the place is a treasure in itself! The centre is shaped like a huge triangle so its easy to find you're way around. Each side of the triangle is a separate mall: Rose Gallery, Thames Walk and Guild Hall; at the end of which there is a John Lewis, House of Frasier and Marks and Spencers (these are the biggest ...

Advantages: everything you could want under one roof
Disadvantages: can get addicted to the place!!

So you spend all your hard earned wages in one go!! After all that shopping, you can go and grab a bite to eat i the Food Court.
