A Kate
I went to the new shopping centre in Barnes Road last Friday and it’s the biggest one I’ve ever seen. It’s enormous! It
takes hours to go around all the shops. There are some great clothes shops and I spent ages in one of the sports shops. It
had lots of new equipment and clothes. But you have to do a lot of walking to find what you want in the shopping centre.
There’s a floor plan, but it isn’t very clear and it’s easy to get lost. It was nice to go to once, but I don’t think I want to
shop there regularly.
B Gareth
I think Barnes Road is a really good shopping centre and they’ve designed it very well. There are cafés on every level and
there’s a cinema as well. There are lots of lifts and stairs to get to the different levels. And I really like the trees that they
have right in the middle by a small lake! It’s good to sit and watch the little waterfalls and look at the flowers. You can
easily spend a whole day there.
C Tina
At last! Some good designer shops in our area! Thank you Barnes Road! They’re a bit expensive, but that’s normal and it’s
fun just to look at all the different brands. The clothes shops are really good with all the latest styles. And there are lots of
other great products, too. My brother spent ages looking at cameras and computers and smartphones. He loves gadgets!
And there’s a cool vegetarian restaurant on the second level. The food is delicious. I think I’m going to spend a lot of time
(and money!) there.
