Bluewater Shopping Centre Reviews Summary

Accessibility

Pros:

• "Honestly this is an absolutely accessible mall."
• "Maps were easy to read at each points. Nice triangle shapes easy to get round."
• "Free parking down at the front and even more parking upstairs."
• "This shopping centre is very big and has a good layout."
• "Centre is clean, has ample toilets facilities, lots of restaurant options and a huge selection of shops."
• "Easy to get around as a person with a disability."
• "With free parking and indoor shops under one roof, this is a very convenient place to shop."

Cons:

• "There are a lot less seating on both levels making it harder for the elderly or infirm to easily cope."
• "However there is a lack of general convenience stores like a Tesco express or something."
• "The only place for TVs is John Lewis, so there is a gap here."
• "One problem of Blue water is that it does not have many boards to guide you."
• "They provide a free little playground but at the moment we were visiting it was out of order and only one slide available."
• "The recent road works near the Bluewater is a bit inconvenience as you queue up for at least 20mins to join the slip road."
• "Electric car users beware: the shopping centre only has 39 Pod points and 17 Tesla chargers."

Shopping Experience

Pros:

• "A great place to go if you're looking for a very large choice of branded, expensive shops."
• "I would highly recommend a visit to Bluewater shopping centre."
• "This place has anything and everything you could possibly imagine."
• "Massive place with lots of shops and parking, which is free."
• "Wonderful shopping centre with great choice of big brands."
• "A huge range of shops spread out over a large area."
• "One of the highlights of my visit was the variety of shops available."

Cons:

• "Now we are full brexit and in an energy/cost of living crisis there are more and more empty units as people decided to hold onto their money."
• "The shopping mall has not all good brands."
• "Visited December 15th and was disappointed that the word Christmas is barely mentioned, most shops have twinkling lights but no Father Christmas reference or anything relating to the religious side."
• "Shops are good, but not great. Could do with some electrical shops and better variety of mens clothing stores and better food options."
• "Possibly too many places to eat and not enough shops."
• "It's a shame that the way things have gone now mean that it is almost a 50/50 split of open shops to boarded up shops."
• "Average shopping mall with some designer brands pretending to offer great deals which can be better with bigger discounts if you just stayed at home and shopped online."

• "My daughter loves a bit of adventure so she can’t resist climbing walls at Gravity trampoline park."
