This multi-storey shopping centre stood on what was the site of a Friary, hence its name; however, its function has changed greatly. All sorts of shops are included here - fast food, cafés, clothing, music, DVDs et. c. However, like most of Guildford, the vast majority of the more than 60 shops are clothes shops (of all different varieties, from Ann Summers to BHS.). This is a Westfield shopping centre, and so has small toy cars for children to borrow to drive alongside their parents in. Access is good - both ecalators and lifts function here, so those in wheelchairs, or with buggies can easily get to all shops easily and without hassle. There are two sets of toilets; one on the ground floor and one on the top floor (there are 3 floors overall).
Car parking is provided by the nearby Bedford Road car park, which is well sign-posted within Guildford. However, as a non-driver, I can't tell you the prices! My driving friends tell me there are usually plenty of spaces.
In terms of busyness, it's not the best place to go if you just want to pop in for something, or to have a quiet wander round, as it's usually rather busy. But still, if you want a centre with quite a lot of shops, here's one.
