best shopping

ronlyre · 16-05-2008, 09:04 PM

I was trying to explain to my brother why I dont shop in Stratford, saying that it was poky, there wasn't enough choice and also it seemed much more expensive. I told him that Leamington was the place for me with great access to the shops, wide pavements, a fantastic choice and altogether better atmosphere.
I'm just wondering what others think? Where do you find the best place to spend your illgotten gains?

If you're willing to make the journey, Birmingham. If not, I'd go with Leamington too.

Redditch for me..Good range of shops (free parking Stratford Greed machine please note) and keen prices..Kind of ironic that Redditch has a modern undercover shopping mall but Stratford doesn't!

I can almost see the retail turn over in the shops there having a massive increase after that revelation...

If I really want a whole day's shopping I make a trip to Birmingham, but just for a stroll round the shops I'd say Leamington! Nice variety, accessible and up to date

Stratford doesn't do it for me at all shopping-wise (or anything-wise sometimes as a matter of fact

), but maybe with the expansion of the Maybird centre we might get some more high street names in town.
