Where is the Zombie Shopping Mall and how do I get there?

It's in Reading, Berkshire, 25 minutes or so by train from London Paddington station. You can also reach the experience by car (the postcode is RG1 1NR).

 

More proof we can't compete with Reading.

Yes is the answer Mattio; I work for the Company running the project and we will submitting an application to SCC very soon.

 

Good news is for me I have 2 fellow Saints fans on the project so you can guess what we spend more time talking about!!

Looks like a right laugh, but East Street isn't the only shopping centre in Southampton that offers itself as a candidate. Last time I was there the Bargate Centre seemed like it was almost abandoned as well.

 

A shame really, but I guess that is what happens when a big shopping centre opens. Somewhere has got to go down.

 

It seemed to be doing alright until recently, had built itself up an alright alternative shop niche, but a lot of them seem to have disappeared recently. And Shakeaway left to go to the Marlands(glad to see they dropped the rename, did anyone ever actually call it the Mall or whatever it was?!). And the Internet Café isn't really a draw anymore due to the internets availability. It just hasn't got much going for it anymore.

I used to manage the Fat Face store when it was in the Bargate, back in 2000-2001. It wasn't exactly pumping back then - I hate to think how quiet it must be now.
