Braehead (Shopping Centre)

================================== Braehead Shopping Centre and Retail Park ================================== I live about 20 miles or so from this huge indoor shopping centre. I done most of my Christmas shopping here and it has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Braehead first opened its doors to the public in 1999. It also cost approximately £285 million to build! It is the largest privately funded waterside regeneration project in the country! ...
...very easy to get to Braehead by car, train, bus, even by boat if you so wish. By car - It is based on Junction 26 (eastbound) of Glasgow's M8 motorway, Junction 25a provides dedicated westbound access roads to the centre and the eastern link road connect to the A8 dual carriageway. It is well signposted from all directions. There are over 6500 FREE car parking spaces so you can spend more money on the things that matter hehe. By bus - where I live ...

Review of Braehead (Shopping Centre)

...live just 10 miles from Braehead and have been a regular there ever since it opened. Lost count of the number of times I've popped in for one thing and been there all day. Thank goodness for plastic!!!! No matter what your looking for, you'll find it here. Shops include Ravel, Barrets, Dune, BHS, M&S, Argos, HMV, Waterstones, Woolworths, WH Smith, Evans, Dorothy Perkins, Monsoon, Topshop and Principles to name just a few! But possibly the best of ...
...Bear Factory. As well as the shops there is loads of places for eating or going for a coffee when your feet get tired, which will definately happen if your a shopaholic. Try Fat Jackets, their baked potatoes are to die for. There is also a large food hall newly opened although I havent yet sampled it. I just went there to buy a pair of shoes for all the Christmas Parties. Got the shoes straight away, but then went onto spend another 5 hours and 400 ...

Review of Braehead (Shopping Centre)

Braehead Shopping Centre lies in an old industrial area on the banks of the Clyde. Once a shipping yard, the collapse of Clydeside industry made this piece of land between Renfrew and Glasgow worthless. Until now that is. Braehead offers a Warner Brothers shop, Tiny (terrible) computer showroom, a Games Workshop, photography shops, clothes stores and more. It's a coninient place to shop. That being said, it's a shoppong mall. Expect to be thouroughly ...
...The original plan for Braehead was much larger in scale, and included ferries to take people across the Clyde to the centre. That idea was scrapped, but there are still car parks that you may need to stock up on provisions to get across. There are underground car parks, three storey carparks, acres wide car parks. I'd really rather have some trees. ...

Review of Braehead (Shopping Centre)

I've visited Braehead many times now, i only live 5 mins away by car! I remember the excitement within the city when the Shopping Centre opened, and i can understand why. Before to go shopping all the best shops where in the City Centre, now it's not as far to travel for people like myself. There is a huge Marks and Spencers and BHS, along with C&A. For other clothes shops there is Topshop/Topman, New Look, Bay Trading, Dorothy Perkins, The Vestry, ...
...the Centre there is a retail park (still connected to Braehead) with Homebase Megastore, PC World, Harry Corry and Reid and Leather, with more shops to open!! I think the Braehead Centre is just amazing, and we get people travelling from all the place to see it also! ...

Braehead is situated in the middle of renfrew near hillington. Just recently opened and can boast from having hundreds of shops to suit everyones taste. The shops range from D2 to BHS and with the recent closure of C & A a new American branch - Primark plans to open by the end of this month. The shops are great for last minnute shopping. wg the evening before a night out, as the shops are open until 9 pm every week day and 6.30 pm during the week. ...
...is plenty of things to keep the not so keen shoppers occupied when you are shopping, such as an ice rink and a huge food court with a mcdonalds and KFC and a nice pizza hut looking over the ice rink. Braehead is a great shopping day out. ...

Review of Braehead (Shopping Centre)

...FREE all day everyday!. Braehead is based on the outskirts of Glasgow between the Govan area and Renfrew for those who are unsure of its location. The shopping centre itself boasts most of the high street shops such as Marks and Spencer, Boots, WH Smith, Woolworths, Sainsbury's and many more but to name a few and the centre is open late some evenings aswell(some shops within may vary closing time) The shopping centre also has a food court located ...
...should you wish to shop without your kids harrassing you!. Overall I would give the Shopping Centre 10/10 for its general handiness and also for its parking. I also heard rumours that Braehead is also set to expand sometime in the near future aswell as the Ikea superstore. ...

Review of Braehead (Shopping Centre)

There are many resaons why Braehead is a firm favourite in our household. In fact it's a miracle that a shopping centre in in favour at all when it comes to my boyfriend but he doesn't put up much of a fight when it comes to a trip to Braehead (no fight would be a miracle!). That's the first thing that appeals about the place - it's so laid back it's no trouble at all. You're more or less guaranteed a car parking space as there are plenty of car ...
...of the many doors to Braehead shopping centre. And the parking's free - bonus!!! When you're inside it's quite pleasant. The air conditioning keeps the place at a good steady temperature that's comfy for all those hours of shopping. I've been in during summer and winter and it feels like another world once you're inside. The shops are great and well laid out. They have everything you'd need in there. Too many shops to mention but some of my favourites ...
