The Metrocentre

The Metrocentre is a shopping complex located in Gateshead, close to the River Tyne. Boasting over 340 shops and occupying an area of some two million square feet, the capacious retail centre is the largest of its kind in the whole of the UK. The Metrocentre comprises five main malls: Blue, Red, Yellow, Green and Platinum. As well as housing countless independent boutiques, the complex is anchored by huge Debenhams, House of Fraser and Marks & Spencer department stores. It is also serviced by a Public Transport Interchange. Further facilities include a 12-screen Odeon cinema (including several 3D screens and an IMAX) and an indoor amusement arcade featuring a ten-pin bowling alley, a dodgems track and a soft play area. If fashion is all you’re interested in, you’ll be pleased to note that many popular retailers have a presence here, including USC, River Island, H&M, Next, BHS, New Look, French Connection, All Saints, Laura Ashley, TK Maxx, French Connection, JD Sports and G-Star Raw. There’s also an Apple Store, an Argos, a Waterstones and a Boots. The vast majority of eateries are located in the Metrocentre Qube, located in the Yellow Mall. If you’re hungry or parched, head on down and take your pick from the likes of Wagamama, Zizzi, Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Pizza Express, Nando’s, Frankie and Benny’s, Yo! Sushi, KFC, Wetherspoons and Handmade Burger Company. Additionally, there’s a Metro Retail Park located to the west of the Metrocentre. This complex includes such large stores as Barker and Stonehouse, Next Home and Toys R Us. The new MetrOasis retail area, which opened in late 2012, includes further options for food and drink, including Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, a Toby Carvery and a drive-thru Starbucks. Spoiled for choice? Not half!
