Accessibility

Pros:

  • "It's easy to access as it's just opposite the Overground in Dalston (Overground to Stratford) and near Dalston Market."
  • "Good disabled access..."
  • "Great location in Dalston kingsland, good transports accessibility."

Cons:

  • "Additionally there's a very long ramp at the back of it with no direct access to the centre except for a lift buried deep within the car park and smelling of wee."
  • "The side entrance to the centre often closes two hours before Sainsbury's, which means that when I've worked late and just need to stop in on my way home, that I have to walk extra around the side to get out."

Shopping Experience

  • "Most shops were empty and by empty I mean closed down."

  • "Lovely shopping center with multicultural people, smells and flavours."

  • "Toilet facilities are abysmal though."
  • "Whenever it rains there are leaks. It's been like this for years as far as I remember. It needs refurbishing."
