The Brunel Shopping Centre Reviews Summary

Shopping Experience

Pros:

• "Nice place to visit and for shopping."
• "Still quite a few good shops in this main part of the centre."
• "Boots was still good."
• "A lot of empty units - place is well past its 'best before' date."

Cons:

• "One entire side of the complex has been vacated of shops, leaving empty units."
• "Visited for Boots and especially the M&S store to use vouchers, which is now shut down."
• "This place used to be great. Admittedly I haven't been to Swindon Town for over 3 years, but it's dead."
• "It's not too bad it has a selection of shops but like every town a lot of shops are sadly disappearing from the shopping centre making like a ghost town"

Facilities & Accessibility

Pros:

• "Have restrooms. Tons of information about the bridge and the place is available there."
• "The kids had so much fun over the hour... There is a handy food court right next door and a great comic shop opposite."
• "Lots of quirky and cheaper shops in here. Toilets were clean."
• "The new food court area is very good, the shopping centre is always clean and so are the public toilets."

Cons:

• "Parking was ridiculously expensive."
• "The council could make it easier for all."
• "System could not add all products I wanted. Designer allowed several interruptions during our meeting."
• "3 Young lads going up and down in the lift, can't get into the lift, disabled toilet is disgusting, wee all over the floor, smells awful."

General Atmosphere

Pros:

• "Such a beautiful place. You get good views of the bridge from here."
• "Amazing place to relax and have some good food options on the first floor, also good shopping options like M&S (M&S food also available), Holland and Barrett, Boots, etc."
• "Great shops and a wide range of food in the food Court upstairs. They have public toilets a nursing area for mums and a pushchair friendly/disabled toilet."
• "Always very clean and welcoming. There is a good range of shops and recently an escalator has been installed."

Cons:

• "It's going downhill fast, what used to be a busy shopping centre seems to be closing shops down on a daily basis."
• "Its a depressing remnant of what it used to be. Hardly any decent shops remain."
• "Not to bad inside the shopping centre, but step outside and it's like there was a nuclear war last week."
• "Depressing dated shopping centre. Nothing here you won't find in any other shopping centre in the country."
