Eldon Square (Newcastle)

...I used to go to Eldon Square in the school holidays with my grandma and we would meet my sister and my nephews in Newcastle and go shopping. Therefore, for me Eldon Square has some happy memories as well as some great shops :) Eldon Square is an indoor shopping centre located in the heart of Newcastle and as I am now studying in Newcastle I have been here quite often recently. Eldon Square first opened in 1976 and serves a catchment area of 2.7 ...
...It is lovely walking into Eldon Square on a cold day, as it is really warm (so especially good at this time of year!) The entrance on Northumberland Street is on a bit of an incline and it's the usual type of flooring in indoor shopping centres (the type that always makes my feet tired!) I'm always tired after I've walked around Eldon Square looking at the shops. However, recently I've only been popping in to go to one particular shop so it doesn't ...

Review of Eldon Square (Newcastle)

Eldon Square Situated in the heart of Newcastle City Centre, with entrances in many locations, this indoor shopping centre houses an array of varied shops, restaurants and cafes. The shopping centre is open 7 days a week, with late night shopping on a Thursday, meaning it closes at 8pm. Opening and closing times change around Christmas, so it’s always worth checking for details. The main entrances are on Northumberland Street, and near Grey’s ...
...close by. At the moment, Eldon Square is going through a series of development stages, which will be completed in 2009, but this does not appear to be causing disruption to the actual shopping centre. The first phase of this development is underway, with a new bus station replacing the old, underground and frankly quite dingy one; good news for anyone travelling to Eldon Square on public transport. I usually enter by one of the main entrances, which ...

Review of Eldon Square (Newcastle)

Eldon Square is the main shopping centre in the wonderful city of Newcastle upon Tyne. Eldon Square first opened its doors in 1976 and has remained very popular with local people, mainly due to the huge benefit of being in doors (Have you seen how often it rains in Newcastle??). The centre has many different entrances and is spread out across the city. Main entrances are on Northumberland Street, Monument and Newgate Street. Eldon Square is now ...
...important bits are the shops. Eldon Square benefits over the Gateshead Metrocentre as there are more down to earth shops, perhaps due to the fact that Metrocentre charge the earth in rents, so this makes it impossible for them to make a living there. The best shops here are without a doubt Fenwicks and Bainbridges (part of John Lewis group) which are major department store and ones which I visit regularly. Theres also a large Marks and Spencers, ...

Review of Eldon Square (Newcastle)

Eldon Square is where most of Newcastle's shops can be found. It has two main entrances: one opposite McDonald's on Northumberland Street, and one right next to Grey's Monument, though you can also enter it through Topshop, Boots and a few sneaky little entrances that I can't always find. Once you're in anyway, there are loads of shops in there, probably about a hundred but don't quote me on it. For example, there is a La Senza, Topshop, Levi's, ...
...biggest leisure centre in Newcastle: Eldon Leisure Centre. There is also a McDonalds and a Pizza Hut Express, as well as Gregg's and a fish and chip restaurant, so you can eat between shops. So why do I like Eldon Square? Because I like shopping of course. My favourite clothes shop is River Island, which you can find easily in Eldon Square, and although my favourite other store is HMV, this is a stones throw away from the Northumberland Street entrance. ...

Review of Eldon Square (Newcastle)

Eldon Square is spread out across the city centre intertwining between all of the main spots. One entry/exit is opposite MacDonalds on Northumberland Street where there is a whole street full of shops and places to eat. Eldon Square has a wide range of shops including the department stores Fenwicks and Bainbridge: John Lewis. Clothes shops include Topshop, Miss Selfridge, Jane Norman, Wallis, Dorothy Perkins, Etam, Rebel, River Island, Morgan (in ...
...The centre is mainly on one level and is entirely indoor. There are areas to eat and buy snacks and ice cream. There is a carpark, but it costs quite a bit to park there. Public transport is great (about 5 to 15 minutes' walk to the main bus station). ...
