Shopping Options
Pros:
"Great shopping centre around my area. Great shops to choose from in a range of groceries home appliances service and of course the food restaurants."
"Compact shopping centre with a wide variety of shops."
"Kingston Centre was great. Very busy but lots of parking."
"Usual major shops, Tesco, Next, Boots, Marks & Spencers, Wilko, Clarks footwear etc, plenty of eateries nice choice from fast food to sit down meal, always busy plenty parking spaces but you will have to drive around."
"Great out of town retail park with a M&S. Next, Boots, Wilko, Homesense love this shop."
"Good shopping centre with all major brands, library, haircut, pizza, sai temple."
"Love shopping here especially the big Tesco superstore."
Cons:
"The shops, aside from Tesco are not very large."
"Lots of shops and restaurants have shut down here, which is a shame, but apparently there's a B and M's opening soon."
"It's OK, but having three supermarkets all competing to sell toothpaste next to other outlets that also sell toothpaste is a bit OTT."
"There quite a few shops here but not a great deal of variety."
"Unfortunately a number of shops and restaurants have closed (including M&S, Mammas & Pappas, Zizzi, Giraffe)."
"This place has gone down dramatically in the quality, cleanliness and service."
"It's a shame this place has kind of fallen into disrepair a bit, I suspect it needs some thought put into it before it just becomes a collection of cheap shops."
Parking
Pros:
"Free EV charging"
"Really good shopping centre plenty of parking and great facilities for eating and shopping."
"Despite massive car park, it is easy to get to on foot, by bicycle or bus."
"Kingston is great, free parking, lots of shopping."
"A nice group of shops, including plenty of eateries. Parking is free which is a bonus."
"No problems with finding somewhere to park as the car park is massive."
"Carparking is good and plentiful."
Cons:
"It isn't very good for parking, there are many spaces but not enough for the area."
"The place is let down by the parking which is always busy - at times it can be very difficult to get a space."
"Parking is a problem during school holidays anywhere around the Kingston Centre."
"Fully functional but tired. Usual over narrow parking spaces where the shopping is centred on Tesco."
"Parking can be an issue as the site has developed substantially since it first opened."
"Parking is not too bad. They probably should have planned better by adding a parking garage."
"Parking is a nightmare. There is a much better M&S and Boots in Centre MK and plenty of alternatives to the big Tesco."
Food and Restaurants
Pros:
"The restaurants are nothing exciting (food chains) but if you're getting hangry you can grab a bite to eat."
"The many restaurants provides a good place to spend time."
"Kingston Centre has excellent services: restaurants like Nandos, Smashburger, Frankie & Bennies, Gyraffe and Chiquitas, M&S, Tesco 24 hours, Costa coffee, Dominos, MacDs (the best in the country), plus a gymn and local arts shops."
"The staff is friendly and attentive, adding a personal touch to the dining experience."
"Nando's is a culinary delight, where the vibrant atmosphere meets a symphony of flavors."
"Kingston Centre is a wow place to go for a morning out, there are the restruants with great food, then there are the fast food outlets and the coffee shops where you can relax with coffee, tea and cake after a morning shopping."
Cons:
"Nandos as a chain I generally love. But on the 3 occasions I have visited this branch it's never been good."
"Eating places totally uncompetitive and over priced for the food quality provided."
"After not going to Kingston Nandos for a long time we were really disappointed in the restaurant."
"very poor service. when we arrived they told that for food we need to wait 30 minutes... we stayed at the table and waited for 20 minutes for somebody to come and ask what we want to drink and that did not happen so we left the location."
"There are no good restaurants there unfortunately (well, Nando's would be the best, probably) at the moment, hopefully this will change with time."
"Nandos, Frankie and Benny are closed for good? plus a few more eateries are also closed for good?"
"The wait time for take out is always horrendous, even though they tell you what time to get there."
Customer Service
Pros:
"Really friendly staff on this occasion visiting The Cafe run by Tesco."
"Tesco staff here are always super friendly and helpful."
Cons:
"Boots Pharmacy Kingston... Steer clear... Staff are slow, argumentative, unhelpful, just totally rubbish."
"Went in greggs, staff were arrogant.."
"I've been to the Cafe Nero here too but the service was SO SLOW and the staff were not friendly 😒 so won't visit this one again."
"Went in tesco's, the staff were vile. Customer service was the worst."
"will not recommend nor visit again"
Cleanliness and Maintenance
Pros:
"Lovely shopping centre, plenty of space, Clean and tidy, a lot of parking spaces."
"The place is very clean and plenty of space to think and get all your little home bits done."
Cons:
"The indoor mall main walkway just feels really really dated and a bit dingy."
"Public toilets are available, however, the sinks/hand dryers could do with an upgrade in my opinion."
"Tescos is dated inside and if you're in need of the loo good luck as most of the toilets dont lock, have no seats or are never clean!"
"The toilets were absolutely disgusting."
Accessibility
Pros:
"Despite massive car park, it is easy to get to on foot, by bicycle or bus."
"It is also well served by buses if you dont want to drive."
"Good local train station set within 10 mins of the town centre."
"Kingston Centre, a shopping centre with many retail outlets. Large car park with wheelchair access."
Cons:
"Unfortunatly its a mix of major commercial warehousing with BIG trucks and retail outlets, so driving through the area is like negotiating a truck park, being so close to the M1 and with fast roads each side means its like a F1 track trying to get out."
"This is a truly awful place to navigate and park around, one side is regularly blocked by drive through traffic."
"Could do with a more direct bus service to hospital and/or Bletchley."
