If you're looking for somewhere modern, stylish and convenient where you can do all of your shopping whether you're looking for a new pair of shoes, a coat or a new car, somewhere where you can do the weekly shop and then have a meal or perhaps catch a film then Cribbs Causeway offers the complete shopping and leisure solution. The area has been continuously developed over the last 20 or so years and has grown from a handful of out of town stores (Asda or in its previous guise Carrefour was the largest hypermarket in the country) around junction 17 of the M5 and the A4018 Cribbs Causeway (actually the name of the long straight road from the Westbury on Trym direction) to a considerable retail and business location in its own right. It is very convenient and a great day out to boot! Retail therapy at its very best!
The centre-piece of Cribbs Causeway is a futuristic indoor shopping mall containing over 135 shops including a large John Lewis and a Marks and Spencer (recently refurbished into a fabulous 'concept' store), over a dozen cafes and restaurants, a 1200 seat food court with 15 food outlets and every conceivable facility to make your shopping trip fun and rewarding. No more parking hassles and dodging the showers, The Mall is surrounded by free car parking and has everything you need indoors on two levels. The Mall opened in 1998 and received the title Shopping Centre of the Year

Serious shoppers will swoon at the sight of shops chock-a-block on both sides of the street. This is a great place to start any shopping excursion as it has all the fashion of any shopping district in London but without the crowds or pretension; this despite that it is located in one of London's most prestigious neighbourhoods. At the north bend is the magnificent and lush Kensington Gardens—home to Kensington Palace. While shoppers are unlikely to bump elbows with Royalty, there may be some celebrity spotting. But what is guaranteed is a good gawk at Britain's fashion. Popular main chain shops are here—from Benetton to Kookai—with all the day's latest must-haves in fashion, but other shops are more innovative offering tomorrow's trends. Hype Designer Forum (Hype DF) is eye-catching with a glass façade leading to even more eye-catching contents: the latest creations by London's up-and-coming designers.
