Pretty good high street stores & a few little extras like new Hugo Boss store (coming soon). Loads of restaurants by the riverside & surrounding area.

Creating California

Lots of good shops, including. Department stores . Plus the bagels and smoothies are yum! Also lots of food places.

Simon Buckingham

Great centre and perfect layout. Good range of stores, would be nice to see more designer stores there though for differentiation

Jack Smith

Great mall filled with high end shops and restaurants . The complex does however make the rest of Reading look a whole lot worse in comparison.

Mark Deakin

Two car parks available (Holy Brook closes early and you car will be locked in by midnight). Two electric car charging points in Holy brook on left as you drive in

Manar

Nice shopping centre ,,

Richard Peat

Holy Brook car park is smaller and not open 24 hours , but you can get straight into the shops. Riverside car park is 24 hour and closer to the cinema and restaurants .

С кондиционерами явно что-то не так! Мне зимой на улице теплее... Ну а сидеть на втором ряду было просто невозможно - чуть не ослепла!
