If you have a small child and you don't want to spend hours walking through a crowded high street, then one part of Lakeside is perfect for you. There is a great part of Lakeside that has self-standing shops. It has a large Toys R Us near to a mammoth-sized Mothercare. The car parks are usually busy but you can always get a spot.
