Westgate Shopping Centre (Stevenage)

Nice a bit more classy than outdoors. No good shoe/trainer shops though. Lovely cafe though to sit down and relax. Indoor toilets.

Visited Westgate to go to John Lyons Jewellers to pick up my wife's bracelet that they repaid after it broke, the photo's show the damage, and its perfect now!They are our go-to Jewellers if any of our jewellery needs a repair.They repair onsite and are very reasonable when it comes to the cost of repair.Pay this Jewellers a visit if you need any repairs to your jewellery.

Great little, local shopping mall. Has all the stores we need including some high street brands too. Could do with a bit of modernisation but overall a lovely little mall cut through.

Went to buy suit from moss bros. Excellent place for shopping and lot of other shops are there as well.

Visited this place quite a lot recently , all to collect Lola’s cake from collection unit. It is very handy for locals to have all in one place with wheelchair accessible doors and restrooms.Unfortunately no great restaurants or a cash machine available and places are not sign posted and I ended up in walking all the way from one end to another to find the cake collection locker. A digital map located next to lift could I save my 30 minutes.Parking is bit cramped and prices are bit heavy than outside with old fashioned parking coin to collect at entrance. Good luck for people visiting the place without pocket or wallet just like me who walks around with a phone for everything.

The shopping center itself is fairly good, with ample parking in the middle of town.Plenty of shops to visit with a vast array of different shopping experiences.It's just a massive shame that some shops seem to only be around for a few months at most, especially the smaller businesses and not the larger chains. (Not sure if it's just the climate we are in at the moment or rent/business rates are too high)

Unsure where to write this but hey ho, we visited the grotto yesterday which was very disappointing. My daughter knew as soon as she walked in that it wasn’t the ‘real’ Santa because of his black beard overshadowing what should’ve been the white Santa beard. Upon entry, the sign said £5, yet unsure what this was in return for. We only found out at the exit of all the extra prices which I felt was misleading considering seeing £5 on the entry. All in all, if you are going to employ a ‘Santa’ perhaps ensure he is clean shaven or even wearing a white beard that fully covers any real beard.

Good shopping centre, although quite drab and run down. The toilets were horrible and not well maintained. Shops in the centre include The entertainer, h +m and river island.

Quite clean, lots of parking (multistory), decent selection of shops and nice food from the central cafe. Gets busy mid-day to mid-afternoon on Saturdays.

Its definitely a nice local place for shopping. But with few big stores closed, I would like to see some more known or local brands to fill the gap.
