Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre

Very Good Access and FREE Parking for 6 hours!!! There is money saved right there, coming from Reading Berks, which for 3 hours costs £8.A Varied Selection of shops and Restaurants nearby overall a good ⁸⁄₁₀ from me.

Nice enough shopping Centre, becoming a little sparse recently though with many store’s closing down.
Still have some decent one’s though — New Look is pretty good but very small, 2 sports places, Boots, BHS, Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s ect along with a couple of Café’s and Mobile Phone store’s. Best place being Thornton’s though (woohoo chocolate!!) but it’s tiny.
Food court has a bit to offer too but jam packed with que’s at the weekend. Saturday you can wait at KFC for anything up to an hour! Then there’s Burger King, Spud U Like and Subway which rarely have any que’s at all.
Lot’s of parking but come the weekend there doesn’t seem to be quite enough. Good place to go if you need to pick up a few bit’s but any serious shopper is better off heading to Bluewater or Lakeside.

staff cleaned around me while i was being served checkout staff brilliant floor staff rude in marks and spencers no security in sight anywhere

This is a very large Supermarket, that stocks Sainsburys foods. They do not have such a wide variety of foods as other other Supermarkets.
They also stock a large selection of clothes.

Nice little shopping centre, not as big as chatham or maidstone but a good place to grab something quick to eat a spot of shopping or a present.

One of the few shoppijng area in Medway that’s not suffering from empty units. Nice to stay dry and the only place i can get my kids clarks shoes

All you need under one roof. You have your grocery shops, card shops, clothes and shoes. Along with the sewing stools, and phone shops and coffee shops. Of an evening there are excercise classes above the food court generally aerobics or yoga.
It is a nice shopping centre with a lot of natural light. They have a market on sundays which has a variety of stalls from olives and cheese to jewellery. The Farmers Market they have once a month has some fantastic foods you really should try

This shopping centre is on my doorstep, but I don’t think I’m biased! It’s not a centre the size of Bluewater, Lakeside, etc by any stretch of the imagination. It’s a rather small shopping centre but it does have a good collection of shops — M&S, Wallis, New Look, Bhs, Evans, Burton, Principles, Clarks, Boots and Superdrug to name a few, plus a Savacentre and an Argos.
We can generally get anything we need here. It’s free parking with loads of spaces and has some small cafes and a picnic parlour (KFC, Burger King, Spud u Like, Subway) if you want to grab a bite to eat.
About once a month they also have a farmer’s market here and there’s an occasional craft market too. It’s worth a visit if you are in this area and in need of any of the above shops.
