Advantages: All The High Street Name plus Some Smaller Less Well Know Shops

Now, Meadowhall shoppers can be roughly categorised into two major groups – the Shoppers and the Husbands* .

In fact Shopper Happiness levels seem to be inversely proportional to Husband ... Read review

...that apart, where better than Meadowhall Shopping Centre to browse around acres of Shops and much, much more? I know that there are plenty of other popular Centres to do your shopping and obviously, living within easy access of the DREADED M25, places like the new Bluewater and the even more established Lakeside at Thurrock, should be #1.

Advantages: Huge choice of shops, Easy to get to, Free parking
Disadvantages: Easy to get lost if you're not sure of your way round (if this is the case I recommend picking up a map from the Information Desk!)

Meadowhall is a huge shopping centre located on the outskirts of Sheffield. With easy access from the M1, (off junction 34), it's easy to get to from a number of locations. The town in which I live, although not too bad for shopping, does have a limited range of different shops on the High Street, therefore if you fancy a good retail therapy session it's best to travel to another town. As Sheffield is approximately an hour away from where I live, ... Read review
