This is a good retail park just outside Southampton town centre.
My favourite shops here is Borders and the Tesco homestore which can be very good for end of line bargains at the back left of the store.
Be aware that the parking has now changed here and they now charge.
They also charge for parking in Ikea at the back of this retail park but it is refunded when a purchase of a certain amount is spent.

There are a couple of Starbucks in Southampton but I’m commenting on the one in Borders in West Quay Retail Park. This is upstairs from the main store (the entrance is inside Borders) and on the level with the DVD’s. It takes up the full width of the store and if you are lucky you can snag a comfy tub seat with a table overlooking the main entrance to Borders and people watch to your hearts content. I usually grab a book and head upstairs for an hour or so. Starbucks coffee is the same whereever you go I think and the service in the store is fairly quick and efficient. My friend complained last weekend that her hot chocolate wasn’t particularly hot but my latte was steaming. I really enjoy
coming here and usually visit at least once a month, pick up a new book and grab a coffee and people watch for a while.

West Quay is what would be a standard out-​of-​town shopping centre based in the city centre, which gives Southampton some really useful extra department stores.
Includes, JJB, Argos, Borders, Furnture Village, Tesco Home, Staples, Halfords, Boots, and Brantano. With McDonalds and TGI Fridays oppositem, and a Starbucks in Borders, and a Novotel, Ibis, and Etap hotels also there offering cheap stays.
Tesco Home was a flagship new market idea for Tesco with the store concentrating only on homewares and is a wonderful idea, and often very packed out.
Parking is plentiful and as its free, everyone uses it. Free for 2 hours with parking attendants there all the time its quite good!
Also frequented by the youths with they’re show-​off cars of an evening, so not the place to bring a learner driver!

I like this retail park. It has most of the shops you need, and will soon have Ikea too. I dont go down there are much as I would like because it feels too out of the way of the high street, but its not really so is definately worth using.

Good retail park with lots of choice. Shops include a Tescos Homebase an Argos a mothercare and a JJB among others. Really easy to navigate and a good choice of shops.
It is also very close to a TGI’s and a McDonalds as well as five hotels, which means that if you want to come from another city to shop it is ideally placed.
Parking can sometimes be a nightmare and the carpark gets really busy. There are security guards and parking attendants walking around which is good and you feel very safe even when it is dark.
It is a clean and tidy area and it is soon to include an Ikea.

There are some good shops and a lot of free parking close by. The car park normally gets very full and you can spend a while looking for a space. I have been to better retail parks and a lot of the shops in the retail park they also have the centre of town and other areas of the city. It is a good free place to park though if you are going to do shopping in town and can get a space.

so modern and a great selection of shops. easy and affordable parking
