The Westgate Centre, eh? Nothing really too interesting about it, it's just a shopping centre, same as any other in the country. You want more detail? Oh, alright...

It's not a particularly large centre, and there's nothing particularly special about it. About half the shops here have other branches elsewhere within walking distance, most of them larger ones as well. And there's nothing remarkable about any of the rest of the shops either, nothing that you wouldn't see in any other high street shopping precinct. There are a few interesting shops, though. There's a pretty huge and very good branch of Allders, a vast branch of Sports and Soccer, which is about as good as any other of their branches (i.e. cheap stuff, rubbish service) and a Sainsbury's which is now the only supermarket within walking distance for half the city. And there's a nighclub upstairs round the back, but it's such a dive that even the students steer clear for the most part. Then it's just the saem shops that you get in every single shopping centre in the country (Clinton's Cards, Electronics Boutique, and so on...)

Nothing much else you can say about it, really. It's a small shopping centre, nothing more, nothing less.
