Customer Service

Pros:

  • "First time visiting this centre and I couldn't find the store that I was looking for. I asked a young man who works there and he went out of his way to help find the store I was looking. Great First impression."
  • "Staff had always been great, worked in one of the shops, always good and happy to help with any problems."
  • "The building society I went into was very helpful and the staff were very knowledgeable and pleased to help me, which made my visit worth while."

Cons:

  • "Rude guards don't like bicycles being wheeled through."
  • "The mall security don't give much info on where stuff is."
  • "The parking machine didn’t return my coin, so I drove down to what I assumed was the help office only to be confronted by a very rude, aggressive and extremely unprofessional parking attendant."
  • "Went there today and had to leave due to excessive noice from some people banging on drums. Now there's load and beyond a joke and this was the later. Could not hear the staff in the shops so gave up"

Shop Variety

Pros:

  • "Unlike most similar shopping centers, it's still got a good selection/ variety of shops."
  • "Clean and bright with good loos and a good range of shops for food (Waitrose, M&S), clothes, shoes, health foods, stationery, toys, healthcare and beauty products."
  • "The Ashley Centre keeps vibrant and busy with all units full of quality shops, a rare thing in the era of declining retail on the high streets of the UK."
  • "Nice airy shopping centre has a good choice of shops most found usually in the high st with a few independents."
  • "Several stores like M&S, Sports Direct, but also nice cafes where you can stop for a coffee."
  • "It has lots of different stores, most of the high street stores are located inside or close by."
  • "A really fantastic shopping centre...They have a lovely selection of stores without too many empty shops either."

Cons:

  • "No changing spaces facility like the bentalls in Kingston."
  • "The centre itself is reasonable with a fair to average selection of shops."
  • "An indoor shopping mall in central Epsom with a, sadly, ever-declining choice of shops."
  • "Too much of the same thing, coffee shops, health food shops and women's fashion."
  • "It’s a simple shopping centre although lots of closed units now. It’s lost a lot of class over the years and it’s now a pretty average shopping centre."
  • "Very dead now. It used to be great when it had H&M and McDonald's."
  • "What a miserable outdated space, all the independents have been pushed out to be replaced by the same homogenised dross. The population of Epsom deserves better. Just dull."

Parking & Accessibility

Pros:

  • "Perfect little mall with step-free access...Very large parking house with free parking on each advent Sunday (as per 12/2022)."

  • "I used the car park to attend the Epsom Playhouse, and there were plenty of spare places."
  • "Nearby parking is great as attached to a multi-storey car park."

Cons:

  • "small, closes really early, and parking is a nightmare."
  • "Car Park leads into the centre."
  • "The Ashley center is a good place to shop but do not use the car park facilities."
  • "Car park review - Avoid. The staff are rude and you have to queue for a long time to get out."
  • "The parking doesn't have family parking space which makes it hard to get the car seat in and out of the car other than that it s an all in one shopping center with everything you might need"
  • "The only problem with this location is parking it's not great at all."

General Experience
