Redhill in general

 

Newest Review: ... (like bread!). The rest of the high street is mostly taken up by a range of discount shops, charity shops, an Argos, a couple of restaurants (even Burger King shut down) and a few pubs. The Belfry shopping centre looks a bit more pleasant but the economic climate has affected that as well with shops having been empty for months on end with no prospect of new occupants.

Having lived in Redhill for most of my life you'd think that I'd be fed up with it by now, but I'm not. There is a good mixture of shops, pubs and restaurants and the gereral atmosphere is good. There are a few downsides to the town. There are lots of card shops for some reason! There are 3 Clintons shops along with a new card shop just opened in the Belfry Centre, there are far too many! Charity shops are plentiful too, there are about 4 now. The other problem is the lack of anything to do except drink or club in the evenings. There is a theatre / cinema but the choice of films is limited. There is nothing like a bowling alley or normal cinema, for ...  Read the complete review
