Living in Worthing West Sussex for a little part of my life. Brighton was only 13 miles away from me. So a trip to Churchill Square wasn’t too far away. Churchill Square is in the middle of Brighton, East Sussex. It’s not to far from London either.

There are around 85 different shops in the mall. The mall is set out in 3 levels.
Whenever I go here it always smells the same, you can smell the cookies from Millies Cookies. But ive never actually eaten any, they smell nice enough but Im not a biscuit/cookie person.
The lower mall. You have to go down the escalator to get there, or there is a lift that is in the middle of the mall. The lift does get rather packed, as it is quiet small. Some of the shops you will find in the lower mall is, Debenhams – This shop sells clothes, things for your home etc. I never really shop in here. Allsports – A sports shop. Evans –This shop sells ladies clothes for the larger person, there sizes start from a size 16. They sell a huge range of clothes. WH Smiths – They sell books, cards, DVD’s, newspapers, large selection of magazines. The Gadget shop – I love this shop sells all those weird gadgets that should keep you amused for hours. Discovery Store, this is a little like the gadget shop. Early Learning Centre - great for toys and pre-school educational toys. Shoe Zone - fab place for cheap shoes. Eisenegger -this shop always seems to have a 70% sale going on. Sells men’s, ladies and a little selection of children’s clothing.
The upper mall (this is street level) This is the middle section. At both ends you can get out of the mall to see the other shops that are outside of the mall. The mall is kind of in 3 parts on this floor, west central and east. Its like the letter ‘T’ but upside down and in the middle it the balcony to look over to the lower part of the mall. But over all sections of this upper mall level you would find loads more exciting shops. Thornton’s – Sells all that naughty but nice chocolates. The Disney Store, name of the shop describes it all really. Vodaphone – for all the mobiles and accessorises. Footlocker – another sports shop Borders Books and Music – sells books and music really. USC – men and ladies clothing. Ravel – shoe shop H Samuel – jewellery shop Next – ladies, men’s and children’s clothing (my favourite shop) HMV- music shop River Island – ladies and men’s clothing Virgin megastore – music store, they sell DVD’s, games. I do like this shop you can get some great offers in there. Miss Selfridge – Ladies clothing Clinton Cards – cards, wrapping paper, cuddly toys, sells all things for them important dates not to be missed. Bay Trading – Ladies clothing Mothercare babies and children’s clothes plus all babies things you need Adams – children’s clothing Gymboree – crčche facilities
Ive listed some of the shops but there are loads more, I didn’t want to make a really long list of all the shops. Plus if I named them all there wouldn’t be any surprises left.
There are banking facilities to get money out in the mall too, there is one just outside too. By the pub on the right hand side. Just walk down the steps and its just there.
You can also find little stalls inside the mall.
The third level is restaurants and toilets. You can get to this either by lift or the escalator. There is a wide range of things to eat that would suit everyone. You can get MacDonald’s, Jacket potatoes, sandwiches, salads, cakes, hot and cold drinks. It does have seating areas but can get packed out.
You will also find a burger van that’s normally parked outside too. Just next to the guy that sells the mobile phone covers.
You can find other fast food places just outside too, KFC, Pizza hut, Burger King, there’s another MacDonald’s too
You can get to the car park through Churchill square, it’s a pay when you return to your car system.
One thing I do believe the shopping mall is missing is ‘Woolworth’s’ as this is outside of the mall, I like this shop as you can get mostly everything in there.
So when you have shopped till you have dropped, but wanting to look around Brighton, you will find lots more things to do. There’s even more shops to go look around outside of the mall.
Other things to do while in Brighton, which isn’t too far. Brighton palace pier, this is on Madeira drive. Great place too take the kids and for us adults too. We love getting fish and chips from here. There is a restaurant half way down on the pier. The Sealife Centre is just over the road from the pier too.
Brighton also has ‘The Lanes’ to go look down, which is signposted, its all the little back street shops to get great bargins.
Only a short journey away is Brighton Marina, Which also has a Cinema, health centre, Asda & petrol station, Pub, Bowling, a few shops, and restaurant. It has a big car park so whenever ive been parking isn’t a problem. I do believe buses run there too. It isn’t that far to walk from Brighton’s palace pier.
So overall Churchill Square is a great place to do your shopping, Loads of shops to look in and spend money. The only downside to it is that it can get very packed on weekends, and the lifts are very small, and if anyone like me has young children and a buggy then we do have to wait a while to get in the lift to get to the next level. There should be more lifts really.
Another good advantage its in the centre of Brighton, so its easy to access.
It makes a great day out, as my children love to visit the pier after and go on the rides.
Living in Cheltenham now, I have other shopping malls to go exploring in. Im off to the Bullring in Birmingham tomorrow :O)
Churchill Square has a website www.churchillsquare.com
Advantages: good variety of stores Disadvantages: sometimes crowded
Churchill square is a modern development in Brighton. It was completed a few years ago, and now recieves many shoppers, due to its variety of stores and its central location.
Churchill square comprises of 3 levels of shops and restaurants. The top floor is home to the eateries and the other two home many stores.
The centre is a good place for all the family.

Advantages: Young vibrant city, friendly, plenty of character Disadvantages: Becoming increasingly expensive, Yob culture
many good things you can say about the place.
As a young person, there's always been plenty to do in Brighton. The town centre is vibrant, with a vast array of shop's, both highstreet brands, as well as plenty of interesting yet expensive independent shops in the laines. As a shopaholic, Brighton is a great place to live, especially since the new ChurchillSquareshoppingcentre was opened a couple of years back. Brighton is also home to 3 cinemas (It was 4 until recently, but unfortunately the abc closed down) showing all of the latest films, as well as the classics.
As an avid sportsman myself, the wide array of facilities and opponents in Brighton have been a godsend over the years. As a tennis player, there's a huge number of clubs to choose from, most of which cater for all ability levels. Furthermore, ive never had ...
Advantages: All in opinion Disadvantages: All in opinion
strolled further along the promenade where there is a place called Artists Quarter. They sell paintings, picture frames and some bargain mirrors. I always visit this place when I go to Brighton, I have found some good bargains here in the passed and I’m also a lover of unusual paintings.
If you like shopping then ChurchillSquare located in the city centre of Brighton is a big indoor shopping mall that houses most of your common chain stores – Marks & Spencer’s – Debenhams – Virgin – Boots Chemist – Gap etc …… Although you have your main high street shopsBrighton offers some unusual antique and trendy shops that sell some weird and wonderful things.
The laines is another of Brighton’s popular shopping areas – the roads are narrow and cobbled – the laines are divided into north and south. The south is mainly restaurants and the north is ...
Advantages: Great seafront, young, entertaining, big nightlife Disadvantages: Expensive
I you're looking for a weeked (or more) getaway but can't afford the French Riviera, Brighton's the place you should be heading to.
With its hundreds of hotels and B&Bs, you won't have any trouble finding a place to stay and enjoy the great seafront.
No matter what you're looking for, you'll find it in Brighton. Shopping amateurs will be happy to know that in addition to the big ChurchillSquareshoppingcentre in the middle of town, there's also a myriad of little shopping streets all over the city to accomodate for everyone's tastes.
But the most interesting thing in Brighton is probably its incredible nightlife: with hundreds of pubs, bars and clubs all over town, you'll never run out of a place to have fun in. Again, different tastes call for different atmospheres and ambiances, you can find any kind of place in Brighton where ...
