Bluewater Shopping Centre ranked eighth best in UK

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 8 Nov, 06:07 · Archive

Bluewater Shopping Centre in Kent has been ranked eighth best in the UK in a new study of 530 centres.

Bluewater Shopping Centre in Kent has been ranked eighth best in the UK out of 530 centres surveyed by Birmingham clothing printing company OK T-Shirt. The centre scores 4.48 stars from 34,552 Google reviews and is the highest-rated shopping centre in Kent.

Food and drink options were the most praised aspects in Bluewater's five-star ratings, mentioned in 88 of 276 reviews with comments, followed by the variety of shops. One shopper said: 'The range of shops are brilliant and the parking is so easy and free to park.'

Cristian Constantin, clothing expert at OK T-Shirt, said that variety and maintenance were key factors distinguishing top-rated centres from those at the bottom of the ranking. He noted that people value being able to walk round proper shops, try items on and see how they fit before buying. At lower-ranked centres, reviewers complained of empty units and closed shops, particularly after major retailers like M&S had departed. Constantin said top-rated centres offer 'a good mix of shops, somewhere nice to eat and a centre that feels looked after'.
