    Th Arndale Centre in Manchester was built in the 1970's and was covered in yellow tiles that were universally disliked by Mancunians -- however, it was the city's first major shopping mall and provided lots of new shops for the city centre -- when completed in 1979 it was the largest covered shopping centre in Europe.

    The dreaded yellow tiles have given way to more of a glass structure in recent years and the whole thing looks much better now. The centre comprises 2 floors of extensive shopping plus a multi-story car park.

    My photo shows the entrance on Corporation Street.

    Arndale Centre: A place to avoid!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Enough said really! Avoid it like the plague, there are far better places to shop around Manchester. All the big names seem to be leaving this 70's looking building!

    Arndale Centre: Traditional Mall
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Anrndale Centre is a city centre mall in the old, traditiuonal sense. Built in the 70's (I think) it's largely invisible from the outside, hidden behind the other streets of shops. Inside though, it's a labyrinth of shops of all types - mainly your "high street store" type. It has a good food court too that spans Market Street.

  • Theme: Other
  • Directions: Main entrance is off Market Street. Look for the Food Court "Bridge".

    Arndale Centre: Isn't really the best.
  • Tip Rating:
  • Located in the heart of the city, the Arndale Centre in a way dominates the shopping area of the citycentre. With its completion in 1979, it is one of the largest covered shopping centre in Europe. After the 1996 IRA bombing at the Arndale Centre Bus Station, the shopping centre has now got a face-lift and looks better than ever now!

    The Arndale Centre may well have all the shops you need, but to be honest, they are the same shops you will find in any city centre throughout the UK. Yes, they are all under one roof. The focal point has to be the great aroma from Millies Cookies floating around, so make sure you don't leave the place without getting some!

    Arndale Centre: City Centre Cheap Deals
  • Tip Rating:
  • Its basically a big mamma of a shopping center with lots of very cheap discount stores for cosmetics, home appliances. But you've also got the usual big-name British retailers there too.

    Man U t-shirts probably ;)

    Saw quite a few "Cock of the North" t-shirts up there too!

    Arndale Centre: Shopping the center of town.
    This huge shopping mall located in the center of town, the Arndale Centre was once the largest indoor mall in Europe when it was completed in the late 1970s. Today, the Arndale serves Central Manchester, and is filled with music stores, clothing botiques, food courts, and anything else you can fit inside a mall.

    The mall is served by buses and the city's Metrolink, and is easy to get to.

    Arndale Centre: THE Shopping District
    Located in the heart of the city, Manchester's Arndale Centre in many ways dominates the central shopping area of the City. Begun in 1972, by its completion in 1979 it was the largest covered town shopping centre in Europe, covering some 30 acres in the old city centre, with 750,000 shoppers visiting it each week. With over 200 shops, major department stores, restaurants an fast food outlets it has become a busy and active shopping arcade.

    The centre houses an 1800 space multi-storey car park, shopping malls on two levels, office space in tower, residential flats, and the Arndale Centre Bus Station at Cannon Street,
