Advantages: Good selection of shops - easy to get to
Disadvantages: Weekends are mobbed, cyclists, skateboarders

If you live in Northampton and have to suffer shopping there, a trip to Milton Keynes can be a treat. However I can only recommend a trip during the week, as the weekends are suffocatingly busy. Everybody talks about the dreaded Milton Keynes roundabouts and how Americanised the streets and street-names are, but actually the road signs at all these roundabouts are helpful, and you cannot miss the shopping centre. The main shops are signed from ... Read review

Advantages: Many many stores under one roof.
Disadvantages: Can get very crowded and stressed.

...which it resides, The Centre MK is sprawling and evolving! The original centre is a very large rectangular shaped building with two main walkways spanning I would estimate at least a mile. It certainly feels longer though as you trawl up and down, especially on a busy weekend! The newly opened extension I mentioned was built at a right angle to the existing centre, and is much more airy and spacious, as the original centre does sometimes feel ... Read review

Advantages: Huge number of shops.
Disadvantages: Huge number of shops.

...tall lates and cigs, then MK would be almost a pleasant place. But, gentle reader, I am here to shop. The High Street names are well represented here - but they all seem to be copies of one another. If you decided to do price comparisons (as I did once, on my daughter's winter coat) you could well find yourself at the end of an exhausting day, back at the first shop you started in. Milton Keynes has no soul. It has an air of materialism that pervades ... Read review

Advantages: SUITABLE FOR THE DISABLED VISITOR/UNDER ONE ROOF
Disadvantages: CAN GET VERY BUSY ESPECIALLY AT CHRISTMAS

...Keynes I visit the Centre MK on a regular basis, and thought I would update you on what's happening. Firstly the Centre MK is all on one level, which makes it easier for wheelchair users and mums with buggies to get around. The Centre is split into 4 main shopping areas and 2 leisure areas: The original part which is about 1/2 a mile long with two main walk ways either side with Marks and Spencer one end and John Lewis the other. A large square ... Read review

Advantages: Many shops and friendly staff !
Disadvantages: Can be too crowdy and get to hot.

Advantages: Happening.
Disadvantages: None.

Living quite close to Milton Keynes, I visit regularly. It is a very ‘happening’ place, with lots to do. The main attraction of Milton Keynes has to be its shopping centre, which is forever expanding. The shopping centre has just expanded again, so now it includes a Virgin megastore, and several other chain stores. Milton Keynes also has 2 cinemas in the centre that are in major competition with each other. They have also just finished ... Read review

Advantages: Loadsa shops
Disadvantages: too many?

I've only been to Milton Keynes once, but I have to say from what I saw (ie the shopping centre) it has a lot to offer. I went with my beautiful girlfriend who loves to shop and it was a great place to go. It's hard finding your way about but there's plenty to do and there are loads of buses to take you home. Milton Keynes was a nice place to be - even though we were indoors when it was sunny. There were loads of shops and we couldn't get round them ... Read review

Advantages: Steadily improving, good range of facilities
Disadvantages: Strong dislike of cars

If you went to Milton Keynes shopping center a few years ago then you probably didnt think much of it, just two rows of shops and a pyramid-shaped cinema, but things have changed. A new extension to the main shopping center has added about 20 new shops, including a large Virgin Megastore and a book shop with a coffe shop on the top floor (nice touch, shame about the coffe). There is also a new building, the Xscape center, with a very comfortable ... Read review

I love the centre:mk. I have lived in MK for 21 years and seen the centre grow to be a shopping haven! With the addition of Midsummer Place, The proximity of Xscape, The Hub:MK, Wake:MK its so much more than just shopping! I love their events diary...the French Market on 3rd - 5th July is always really interesting. They are also running a fabulous competition at the moment... try your luck at http://www.winwiththecentremk.com/competition.asp With the sales now on it certainly is a weekend destination.

Advantages: more shops to look around
Disadvantages: too much building work is going on

Milton Keynes shopping centre has recently been extended and renamed 'The Centre - Milton Keynes'. A Debenhams department store and a number of other shops have been added to the Marks and Spencer end of the centre. Advertising of the extension suggests that this is all now open. In reality, only Debenhams and a few stores are now open. In Debenhams, only half the floors are open. Around Debenhams, there is still alot of building work apparent, ... Read review

Advantages: Shops for everyone, plenty of cafes.
Disadvantages: Lacks some facilities eg cash machines

...lot of people only associate MK with cows of the concrete kind but don't be fooled. MK is for me one of the best places to shop. With fantastic roads, bus and rail links MK is easily reached. Be warned to take plenty of change if your going to drive. Though there is plenty of parking, the price varies within distance to the centre and spaces fill up quick (especially at christmas). I always try and get next to the building as I don't want to be ... Read review
