Camberley in general

Newest Review: ... as a Debenham's or a Marks and Spencers. There is, however, a HUGE Marks and Spencers at the Meadows, which is a shopping park just outside of Camberley and there are shuttle buses which can take shoppers out there from the town centre, although I am not sure what the charge for these are as I am lucky enough to have a car. The Marks and Spencers there is open until 10pm most nights, and there is also a 24 hour Tesco there too. There is a House of Fraser in Camberley's Mall, but I find this to be a slightly pricier option. Back in the town centre, there are some excellent independent shops and these are my favourite things about this to... more

Camberley in general: Great shopping centre for a town this size! (606 words)

I have not lived in the South for very long, just under 2.5 years in total but I have developed a bit of a soft spot for shopping in Camberley! I moved here originally after University as this is where my partner is from and the area is particularly good for commuting, especially into London. We actually live outside of Camberley, in Hampshire. Like the other reviewers I find property prices in Camberley to be higher, all because you have crossed that line into Surrey. For a small town, Camberley has quite a good shopping centre, spurred on by the close proximity of places like Reading, Guildford, Basingstoke and, of course, London. You will find all ...

It wasn't my choice to come and live in Camberley. I was born in the beautiful Essex village of Theydon Bois. I grew up with Epping Forest on my doorstep and surrounded by farms. Theydon Bois was then a friendly rural community despite the fact that it is connected to London via the Central Line. Although it was already becoming something of a commuter dormitory it still was a place where everyone knew everyone. At the end of the Sixties I moved away from home. I moved to Liverpool with a change of job. The change could not have been more dramatic. Liverpool was then going through some bad times. Always a vibrant city, over the next 25 ...
