Ok, so you think about shopping areas in the North east and what is the first thing you think of? The Metro Centre, which is great but it is really easy to get lost there. Eldon Square is so easy to get to and around, it has loads of great high street shops like Topshop and Marks and Specers, and it has easy access to it by both Bus and Metro, plus there are loads of car parks situated near by. There are places to eat like BBs Muffins and Coffee, or Mcdonalds or even greggs! Eldon Square is a great place to go with your friends on a Saturday, to shop and eat. Nearby is the Laing art gallery and the Hancock Museum, both quite popular attractions in Newcastle.
The only problems with Eldon Square are the litter and security. I personally feel that their could be more security guards walking around, not only in the shops but around them too. Also the litter is a problem, but I have seen more cleaners around recently so Il think they are trying to sort it out. Otherwise Eldon Square is a great place to shop and eat.
