Howard Centre Properties

This is a small shopping centre but has a good selection of shops. There are 3 coffee shops in the centre but no restaurants. The branches of the shops are fairly small (although the Marks and Spencers in large and on 2 floors).
The shops are open from 9.30am till 5.30pm 6 days a week and open from 11am-​5pm on Sundays. Not all shops open on Sundays but most do.
As upsidaisty said, the multistory car park is free to park in on Sundays which is nice!

The Howard Centre is good for a browse around. There is a distinct lack of eateries. But plenty of coffee bars. The parking is free on a Sunday and Bank Holiday which is a bonus.
The trains run from here which is nice if you have time to spare.
The upstairs shops are a bit boring and are often closed on a Sunday, so check before you come.

The Howard Centre in Welwyn Garden City is a super shopping centre. It’s small, which I like, for everyday shopping it’s idea as it’s only situated on 2 floors small floors. However, it does have a good range of everyday type stores, including boots, marks and spencer, monsoon, top shop, next, dorothy perkins, new look, 3 jewellery stores, various mobile phone, game, elesctical type shops.
It is situated in welwyn garden city town centre which has a John Lewis, argos and a lot of the other usual type town centre style shops.
The train station has it’s office upstairs in the Howard centre which makes travel to and from welwyn garden city town a dream. There are two multi story car parks, one at either end of the centre and a number of other car parks surrounding.
