Brent Cross (London) > Reviews

Advantages: High Street Shop
Disadvantages: Dirty, hot and crowded

Brent Cross, yes North London, shopping heaven or hell, depending on your tastes. I view it as hell, why? 1. It is always hot in the centre making shopping uncomnfortable. 2. Parking can be difficult. 3. The set out lacks space. 4. You can tell the centre is old compared to lakeside etc. 5. It is always too crowded for comfortable shopping. Ok, yes there is a good, not exceptional range of shops, most of the high street regulars, ... Read review

Advantages: High street shops under one roof
Disadvantages: Not enough parking, can get very crowded

...last time I went to Brent Cross they were rebuilding the back bit by John Lewis and that was some time ago and they still have not got the parking right! There are three levels, Lower Mall, Upper Mall and Level 3. *~*LOWER MALL*~* Houses some of the major department stores, Boots, Fenwick, John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, H&M, Waitrose and WH Smith. Fenwick, John Lewis and Marks & Spencer have shop parts on the upper level as well so you ... Read review

Advantages: Shops
Disadvantages: Hot, Dirty

...ten minute drive away from Brent Cross and I hate it, why? It is crowded, dirty noisy and has none of the large spaces, coffe shops, etc that make some other shopping centres nice to visit. Yes, it has the high street giants, but that is about it, you wil not find smaller more independent shops, nor will you find relaxing shopping. I would rather go to the Weat End as there at laest is more space there. Brent Cross lacks facilities and most ... Read review

Hi , i brought my mother to visit London Fri 18 July. She was in a wheel-chair. We went into Marks & Spencers were she bouth some shoes, we went to queue at the pay desk were there was a very long queue. We were called a cross by a very nice lady who told us we could go to the end counter and pay, there was no need to struggle with the wheelchair in the queue. I would just like to say a very BIG THANK You to this lady and to Marks and Spencers, this made it a lot less stressfull for us both.

Advantages: under a roof
Disadvantages: loads

Brent Cross is a big shopping centre located in northwest london. London transport by bus is awful given the crud nature of london buses, and the fact that alot of buses go via cricklewood which is always congested with traffic. The tube doesn't stop that near to Brent Cross and so you have to walk 20 minutes to get there. But once your there, it is no fun. There are shops but then again they are all the same types of shops that you see on the ... Read review

Advantages: Large amounts of free parking, easyily accessed by public transport
Disadvantages: Poor selection of shops, small, hideous building

Living in central London, Brent Cross is my nearest out of town shopping centre. I rarely go there, mainly because there is no need. I have been there a couple of times mainly because sister stores have been out of stock of a particular product, whilst their Brent Cross branch had it. Driving to Brent Cross is extremely easy, as is parking - loads of spaces in both open and covered carparks. The building itself is a mish-mash of hideous seventies ... Read review

Advantages: Free parking
Disadvantages: NONE

The most attractive feature of Brent X has to be the free parking. So few of the shopping centres still have this facility and even some of the more unscrupulus operators will try to charge for as much as they can get. Shopping is a customers right to locate the lowest price and make an informed decision here at Brent X. The customer can be more relaxed in the shopping experience with the full range of high street stores under one roof that dosnt ... Read review
