Metro centre is about 45 minutes up the road from my house and so is a great place to go when we want to do some major shopping. The shopping centre is very easy to find the easiest way being to come off the A1 at Dunston follow the road and you come out straight opposite the green car park, the centre is very well sign posted too. ...

Iam just 5 km from it, Beautiful place for shopping but is also easily reachable by bus and train with frequent service to pretty much the whole north-east! There was car parking with lots of space, this place was so much busy at the time chirstmas and New Year! The centre itself is spread over two floors, and is easy to navigate thanks to coloured zones and many information points with interactive maps. The choice of shops under one roof is amazing. Nice Place for lots of shopping.........................

As a resident of Newcastle Upon Tyne, I often travel to the Metrocentre shopping centre in Gateshead to do my shopping. I prefer going to the Metrocentre as opposed to Newcastle city centre because there are more than 300 shops under one (big) roof. Furthermore it is is free to park which is a big bonus. ...

This is true shopping paradise! I live in Sunderland so the Metro Centre is about 15-20 minutes by car, but is also easily reachable by bus and train with frequent service to pretty much the whole north-east! There is ample parking and I have never not been able to fine a space - even in the week before Christmas when the place is ... Read the complete review

As I live just ten minutes away, I spend a lot of time in The Metro Centre on my days off from work. The Metro Centre is a large shopping Centre located in Gateshead. I remember when it first opened I thought that the new shopping Centre was huge! Now it doesn't seem quite so big to me - but that might be because I am so used ... Read the complete review

The Metrocentre, as the name would lead you to believe, isn't located on the metroline. However, it's on the motorway with parking is free, the train line, and a million bus routes, it would be more difficult not getting there. Inside you get all the usual high street things, and a bunch of more interesting ones. Things like a ... Read the complete review

The Metrocentre is great for a number of reasons: It's handily located just of the A1 motorway south of Newcastle. It has a variety of shops both in the centre itself and in the retail park. It is suitable for shopping, dining and entertainment. There is also free parking. The reasons I visit are to go to IKEA, a ... Read the complete review

Firstly I apologise for the length this review is probably going to end up being. How many words does it take to say everything I can about the Metrocentre? Well given that is could probably officially be classed as my second home and pre-baby you were more likely to find me there than anywhere else, I think I am very well qualified to ...

Santa’s Grotto in the Metrocentre The weather is turning colder, the nights are getting longer and that time of year is fast approaching. It’s almost time to think about all things Christmas.

More shops than you can count, so many places to eat you must be able to please everyone, and more car parking space than my home town put together. And yet it's not all that good. I used to go there as a kid. And it was one of the most exciting things to look forward to, then. And it may still be for kids. Apart from ... Read the complete review

I am someone who lives virtually on the doorstep of The Metrocentre. It is not really in Newcastle but just outside situated on the A1 Western Bypass, and it is Europe's largest out of town shopping complex, but I am sure it is run very close by some more recent openings. Growing by the day the Metrocentre covers an enormous ... Read the complete review

You can arrive by car (free parking for 10000 and still not enough sometimes) train (from Newcastle or Hexham), aand bus, or Metro then bus. All the well known national chains are there (though strangely no longer a Woolworths) Theres M&S,BHS,Argos,Littlewoods ... Read the complete review
