...If you are a shopaholic like me you will love West Quay Shopping Centre in Southampton. The long awaited West Quay Shopping Centre opened in September 2000. West Quay is the not only the new home to many of the high street favourites such as Dorothy Perkins and H Samuel but it has also encouraged many new shops into the area such as Karen Millen, Pumpkin Patch and The Bear Factory. No longer does one need to make the arduous trip to London or Bluewater to have a wide choice of designer shops. The two main shops associated with West Quay are John Lewis and Marks and Spencer, but as you will see from the list of shops detailed below, whilst John Lewis and M & S are valuable assets to West Quay there are a lot of other shops equally worth a visit.

How do you get to it? What is it like? When does it open? What shops are there? If you read on I’ll try and give you an idea. How do I get to West Quay? West Quay is located in the heart of Southampton. There are good links with the local buses and the National Coach station is within easy reach. There is a brand spanking new bus station being built to make it even easier to get the bus in and out of Southampton. Shuttle buses run from the Ferry terminal to West Quay, so if you live on the Isle of Wight then there is easy access for you too.
