BLUEWATER SHOPPING CENTRE Bluewater Shopping Centre // Greenhithe www.bluewater.co.uk Bluewater has over 300 different and varied shops to explore for all your Christmas shopping needs. Whether you want fashion, jewellery, homeware, chocolate, wine, art, toys, gadgets, or almost anything else, you’ll find it here. It makes Christmas shopping extra easy since you only need to visit one place (and getting there is a breeze too; there are buses that will bring you straight to the door, and with 13,000 free parking spaces you’ll never have to worry about not being able to bring all your goodies home with you). Westwood Cross // Broadstairs www.westwoodx.co.uk Westwood Cross is unique in East Kent: where else could you enjoy a morning coffee, some serious retail therapy, a spot of Bingo, a casino, dinner, and a blockbuster movie? The free parking makes the experience even more relaxed, and with a Travelodge on site, you can indulge yourself with a glass of wine and leave the travelling to tomorrow… but maybe just a little more shopping before you go? With 40 high street stores, Westwood Cross is home to many of the UK’s favourite family brands. Royal Victoria Place // Tunbridge Wells www.royalvictoriaplace.com There are almost 100 different stores here for your perfect day of Christmas shopping. From jewellery to clothing to toys, and everything in between, you can find socks for dad, chocs for mum, and building blocks for the little one. Or if you want to give them something different this year, you’ll be able to find that too. There is even a crèche so you won’t have to worry about the children getting bored and curtailing your spending – you can drop them off to have fun, and then go and have some fun of your own! 77
