Victoria Centre

Nottingham has two large shopping centres, the Broadmarsh Centre and the Victoria Centre, situated at opposite ends of the city centre .The Victoria Centre is the bigger of the two, containing 120 shops (not counting all the various stalls in the market area.) Getting there is easy - if you drive, there's parking for over 2700 cars . If you don't drive, don't worry - almost all the Nottingham City Transport buses stop either directly outside the Victoria Centre, or within a few minutes walk of it . Other bus companies from slightly further afield, such as Trent Barton , terminate at the local coach station within the centre . If you're walking, the centre is ...  Read the complete review

Today I have visited Victoria Centre Shopping Centre in Nottingham City Centre. I have been here many times before, so I am a bit of a regular, and I have seen it change over the years but have always liked it. The most noticeable thing from todays visit was the amount of shops that have suddenly disappeared: I have never known Victoria Centre to have empty shops or boarded-up shop fronts before, so it's a sad sign of the times. Sadly missing and only very recently - Woolies, The Pier, Principles, The Works .... and more. However, there are around 130 shops normally, with a really good choice and mix. In Nottingham city ...  Read the complete review

The Victoria Centre in Nottingham has the better shops than the Broadmarsh (its rival just down the road). It is however only a small part of the nottingham shopping experience. There is a wide range of well known shops in the Victoria Centre and a small indoor market selling meat, fish and other goods. It is a shame that smaller, independant shops have moved out to make way for the bigger fish. The Victoria Centre has 120 shops and stores, including John Lewis and House of Fraser. There is also a wide selection of cafes and restaurants. The Victoria Centre typically attracts over 450,000 visitors a week, and can get very busy on a saturday. As ...  Read the complete review

The Victoria Centre is one of the two main shopping centres in Nottingham city centre, the other one being the Broadmarsh Centre. Over the years I have visited them both many times. If I am having a major shopping trip I will start at one of the centres, look around that one, then make the 5-10 minute walk between the centres, looking at the shops on the way, and then look around the other centre. I rarely bother to move out of this path unless I am looking for a specific shop or want to visit the more unique Lace Market area, because this route takes you past most of the major shops. The Victoria Centre itself has a quite wide variety of shops. There is a ...  Read the complete review

I thought I'd give this place an up-to-date review, seeing as it hasn't been commented on here for over 8 years! Affectionately named the 'Vicky Centre' by locals, this complex is slap-bang in the city centre, surrounded by the Hilton Hotel, TK Maxx, and numerous shops and restaurants. It's also right next to the bus station, and is also easily reached by car, though there is no tram stop nearby. Nottingham is a city that's definitely great for shopping, but I wouldn't say that the Victoria Centre makes a massive contribution to that. Of course there is a decent sized Topshop, with numerous ranges as featured in their London flagship store, and other ...  Read the complete review
