Bluewater Shopping Centre

Been there for the first time and i loved it. It’s huge and thousands of shops in there. All the designer shops and everything you need in one place!

Such a massive space. Bunch of benches and sits to take rest. There’s a prayer room as well. Very clean and enough space to walk in.

Will be returning soon.

Bluewater is a decent shopping centre. It’s a medium sized one, so it’s pretty big, but not too big. I’d prefer it over Westfield, as it doesn’t get too busy.
It has a wide range of shops, like north face, Zara and pretty much anything you can ask for.
It is also jam packed with restaurants and fast food chains to eat at.
My favourite part, it has a trampoline park, where you can go there and enjoy.
Overall a 5 star shopping centre.

Fantastic shopping trip. Lots of shops to look around. Staff in all shops all very friendly. You feel safe shopping there. Lots of good food places to have lunch there is a large variety to choose from. Toilets are lovely and clean . I will certainly be coming back again to have a other shopping spre.

Great shopping centre, massive food you can even bring your own. Close to lots of cities & very big with lots of options for shops. Best place to shop in London, family friendly & overall my favourite place to go for shopping.

A stunning place to be.
The Bluewater shopping centre is more than just another shopping centre. Besides the regular shops, restaurants and coffee shops that adorns it, the centre also has cinema theatres, parks and gardens. The free car parking areas are so extensive such that you don't have to worry about getting a parking space when visiting. The centre is a beehive of activities with lots of tourists in attendance.
There is a man made pond called the "The Pond of Reflection", this pond is graced with loving looking geese.

Brief History:
Bluewater opened in 1999, rising out of a former chalk quarry with 50 metres high cliff (that's as high as 10 double decker buses).

Many fossils were found during the the construction of the Bluewater, these can now be found in Dartford museum. The quarry was dug out and the content used to make cement.

Wide range of shops, apart from two "dog shops" nothing there for other fur members of the family. Lovely art gallery shop, made my day. Lovely helpful friendly staff where ever we went. Clean, tidy, look forward to going back

Presumably one of the best shopping centres near you if you are from the South east of England.
It’s got something for every age group.
It’ll take more than a day to explore the whole place .
Lots of fun activities.
Food selection is good as well. Couple of halal options as well.

Clean & tidy shopping centre. Plenty of parking spaces. Christmas trees and decorations are up throughout the centre.

Experience was great. A massive shopping mall and many shops in place as well. Very interesting and lovely interior and architecture design.

Love this shopping centre. It is a big one but there isn’t much sale.

06.07.2023 Haven't been here for 20 years. Lots of choice of shops. No air conditioning. Great food hall, large M&S. And House of Fraser is open.
Lots of free parking.

We love Bluewater! It's a nice little morning /afternoon / day trip, where you can have a mooch around the shops and a bite to eat. There a plenty of decent shops there for the mid / upper mid tier type brands. It consists of two floors, so we tend to just do a loop of each one. The parking is really good and it's super easy to get to, just off the A2 for us. There are loads of other things to do there too such a cinema and various places for kids (very family friendly). We kinda love it for the food though! Some really great places of all types of style. Bluewater is far superior than Lakeside IMO.

A huge place full with shops. It takes nearly a day just to look around. The cinema is amazing and comfortable. It has Dolby Atmos sound system and a gigantic curved 4k display. In front of the cinema there are many snacks, sweets, ice creams and doughnuts you can grab for your movie along with drinks and slushies.

Here you can get amazing mood and beautiful shopping. It's a pity that there are no discounts yet, but I was very pleased with the Christmas atmosphere and the delicious food on the second floor

Great shopping centre for a day out. Don't come here expecting to finish in a couple of hours unless you are coming for a specific item.
Free car park
Great choice of food 😋

Do not travel during rush hour, it is located quite close to M25 and M2 (A2)

First time I visit this mall. I loved its structure and its surroundings. It has shops, restaurants, cafes, a barber shop, a hairdresser, a toy store, pharmacies, a park for babies, etc... You would enjoy a lot inside the shopping center...!!!

We (my wife and I) have visited Bluewater Shopping Centre many occasions since when the complex first opened. Built in one of the larger original chalk quarries where chalk was once extracted in the heyday of the 1960s, 70s, 80s from the Portland and Blue Circle Cement Companies; this iconic Shopping centre echoes a retail popularity serving Kent, London and the South-East general and proven a healthy rival choice to Lakeside Shopping Centre opposite side of the Thames in Essex. Plenty of parking spaces at various levels outside and in cover, and also for the disabled too including eide disabled access points, walkways and enough conveniences. Purpose built to cater for larger masses of consumers and customers attracting from far and wide. Obviously such a large national retail complex can intensify very busy with visitors....'even manic' depending on time of year, month, week, or day especially the festive season. But overall, a Centre that attracts, far and wide also, many customers to brand named retailers selling high quality goods. The Centre has a cinema, plenty of hospitality outlets too. I love Waterstones, W.H.Smiths, and HMV branches for my books, magazines, music etc. Many choices of trendy clothes - merchandise retail outlets, cosmetic shops, jewellers, gift shops, and other specialist commodities. My wife and I visited recently Monday 31/8/23 to buy some curtains from John Lewis store, we ordered some extra curtains and they arrived right on time the given date! 👍They were exactly the type and brand we wanted, and may I praise the very friendly, kind, helpful, and professional female staff who provided an excellent professional service to help us with our purchase. We'll done and thank you staff at John Lewis...10/10 A1. I also like the fact there is a place for wildlife and nature surrounding the present day leafy, thick wild vegetated chalk face cliffs claiming back nature from the once huge chalk quarry. Today, the circular structure ( ground, Ist floor walkways inclusive) sits within the quarry. Plenty of seating rest points around the large circular/ hexagonal style structure which overall is kept very clean and hygenic inside. A modern shopping centre displaying some engraved sculptured wall art of the River Thames. A complex bright and airy, with wide marbled foor walkways bordered with the many shops either side of you. Plus, a disability hire scooter and wheelchair pick-up point on the ground floor. Escalators and lifts to assist from ground to 1st floor. Nearest rail station is GREENHITHE Network South- Eastern, plus several bus routes flow into and connect neighbouring local destinations in Greater London and the South-East. Easily reached off the main A2 London to Dover ( via Canterbury) road and also close in proximity to the M25 Dartford Crossing. Thank you Bluewater for providing all those gifts and personal items purchased here in the past...im sure the trend will continue on our part in the future to shop here. Chris.👍

I went here for a private showing of aquaman as a large group with foresters and it was warm and comfortable. The nachos were not the tastiest and left an after taste cheese sauce was 👍 nice. The environment was clean and those at the desk were polite. It was a lovely place to visit

Great shopping centre, lots of places to eat, great cinema with all reciner chairs, free parking can get busy at weekends and especially towards Christmas

Nice shopping centre , clean and safe place . Me and my family love it
