Buchanan Galleries

Glasgow is a city which over recent years has seen huge improvements to the look and feel of the city centre and in the main this has meant that the variety and quality of shops has become exceptional and pushed Glasgow to be one of the best shopping experiences around. Buchanan Galleries is fantastically placed for people travelling into Glasgow as it is across the road from Glasgows main bus terminal and is right beside Glasgow Queen Street train station and also the underground station right beside this. The centre itself is a fantastically bright, airy and clean shopping area which has shops on each side with a large central "walkway" meaning that ...  Read the complete review

Buchanan Galleries is one of the newest shopping malls in Glasgow. It is well situated beside the Royal Concert hall on a pedestrianised Buchanan Street - the home of brands in Glasgow! It is well situated for public transport as it can be accessed via John Lewis from Buchanan Street Bus Station, or by train from Glasgow Queen Street Station. The shops are laid out mainly over 2 floors, and there is a car park sitting above and around the centre linked by an integral walkway - ideal when it is wet. Generally the car parking is no more expensive than the usual NCP prices, however on a Sunday you can park all day in the Galleries for only £2 although they do ...  Read the complete review

As you will have become aware from some of my previous reviews I am not really one for trawling the high street looking for clothing items. I prefer the convenience of buying most of my items online, However on occasion we all unfortunately have to do this at some point. I had been invited to a party so thought that it was about time I invested in a new dress!! Well living and working in Glasgow the only place for me to shop has to be the Buchanan Galleries. Fortunately I always go very early in the morning to try and avoid the crowds and for the most part tend to be able to experience a good couple of hours hastle free shopping and can actually try items on quickly ...  Read the complete review

Glasgow's famous for many things, one of them being it's fantastic shopping. Buchanan Galleries is one of Glasgow's major shopping centres. Built around 1999, it's situated on the corner of Buchanan Street and Sauchiehall Street. It's one of the easier shopping centres to get to as it sits beside Queen Street station, Buchanan Bus Station and Buchanan Street Subway. There is also ample parking (Although sadly this isn't free!) The centre houses some great big names like John Lewis, Boots and Gap but also has other brands such a Mikey, Swarovski and Virgin Vie Cosmetics. The selection of beauty stores is great, there is ample jewellery ...  Read the complete review

I love my day trips to Glasgow and there is nothing better to do in this fantastic city than to shop. I never usually have a lot of money with me when I go here which is a bit stupid but I do have eough to get atleast one item. I always go to Glasgow by bus and then it takes me right into the Bus station in the town centre. From here I walk out of the station turn right towards the cinema and then left down a little until I see the huge John Lewis TV screen next to Virgin Megastore and the glass windows are the Buchanan Galleries. I love the appearance of the building and always buy something at the small Sainsbury's local next door. It is easy to get to ...  Read the complete review
