Access and Location
Pros:
"Silverlink shopping park has easy access from approaches a19 north and south and surrounding links."
"Great selection of stores. Walking distance, parking always available, accessible by regular public transport."
"One of my favourite place in Newcastle to shop. Lots of parking space, cinema and places to eat. Near to beach, only 10 minutes of drive."
"At a key position on the coast road and road north, this set of shops is easy to reach."
"A huge site with a wide and varied range of shops, conveniently located for access from all compass directions."
"It's cool that it's connected to a cycle network too so you can easily get there by bicycle without having to worry about traffic too much."
"Great location. Plenty of free parking."
Cons:
"Patience needed for road works as usually rows of traffic."
"Due to ongoing construction works on the A19 and to rather unclear route guidance, the streets to and from the shopping mall were heavily congested in a matter of minutes."
"Be warned crazy road works at the moment around the silverlink and A19."
"Absolute chaos getting there because of the roadworks on the coast road."
"Traffic to get there is still bad with continuous road improvements still going on till next year, increasing use of staff with cars means leaving less spaces for customers."
"Bit of a pain getting there at present with the ongoing road upgrade."
"Love it but it's a nightmare to get to if you don't drive."
Shopping Experience
Pros:
"Great range of shops and ample shopping."
"I love the different shops at the silverlink, lots of variation and more being added."
"A good mix of shops, cinema and restaurant options. Loved going to Odeon and a very nice Costa with hot coffee and reasonable prices."
"The sprawling site boasted an impressive array of shops, offering a diverse range of products to cater to every shopper's needs."
"Silverlink has everything all together for clothes, electrical, food, cinema, homeware etc."
"A great shopping retail park with a good selection of shops from Marks and Spencer to boots to River Island to Wilko."
"The Silverlink Shopping Centre is a great place. There is a wide variety of shops such as: JD Sports, Poundland, Boots and Argos."
Cons:
"Unfortunately a few good shops, eg Argos & Wilko's, have recently closed down."
"Not visited M&S here since before pandemic. Very disappointed with women's clothing section."
"It's not really a shopping centre it's more of a retail park and there are a few shops not a lot on offer."
"Just the usual out of town shopping centre with the same old corporate brands generating unnecessary traffic."
"The demise of the big fast fashion outlets has massively contributed to retail parks becoming lifeless existences."
"Just the same old shops you see everywhere."
"So so bad these days. What used to be a bustling little shopping park has become a ghost town."
Parking and Traffic
Pros:
"A very quiet Boxing Day at Silverlink. It was 11 in the morning and there was only 3 cars in a usually packed car park."
"It has all the shops that you need which saves you going into town. There are plenty of car parking spaces."
"Free parking, a good variety of retail units."
"This place is always busy but I always find a parking space."
"Plenty of parking spaces easy to travel to Currys, Boots, M&S Sofology, Next many other outlets."
"Plenty of parking, and a bus connection too."
"Good parking plenty of it too."
Cons:
"Car park is a joke. Narrow roads and small parking spaces would need. 1960 car to get round."
"Getting in and out of the carpark can be a nightmare."
"The carpark is the biggest problem. It's compacted together like most retail parks."
"Good range of shops, adequate parking, however had to take off 2 stars for how long it takes to get out of the car park."
"Serious delay leaving the carpark. 20 minutes plus."
"The shops are great but the car park is poorly managed, the road is incredibly uneven and bumpy."
"Nightmare parking in fact car park is dangerous."
