Think you know Lakeside? Take another look.
Look again
We’ve heard the comments.
“Nothing ever changes.”
“It’s all hoardings.”
“There’s nowhere to sit.”
Look again, quite a lot has been happening behind the scenes.
Those hoardings are coming down, new stores are opening, familiar spaces have been given a serious uplift and there are more places to sit, meet, eat and enjoy your time at Lakeside.
So, before anyone reaches for the comment section, perhaps it’s time to look again.

The hoardings had a point. Promise.
We know they weren’t exactly the most exciting thing to look at. But behind them, we’ve been busy making room for an impressive line-up of new brands.
This Autumn/Winter, discover Lefties, Bershka and Hollister for new-season fashion, alongside the newly opened Space NK and PureSeoul for cult beauty, skincare and fragrance.
LEGO has arrived with something for builders of every age, while Ernest Jones brings jewellery, watches and gift-worthy sparkle to the line-up.
The hoardings are coming down. The doors are opening. And yes, there really is a lot to see.
Yes, there are places to sit
We took another look at Lakeside too.
That’s why we’ve invested in uplifting our communal spaces, improving the overall look and feel of the centre and introducing new furniture where you can sit down, regroup and admire the bags you definitely didn’t intend to fill.
Because a great shopping trip needs more than great shops. It needs comfortable places to pause, catch up and decide whether going back for that jacket is a good idea.
It probably is.
More than shopping. And more fresh air.
Outside, The Quay gives you room to step away from the shops and enjoy Lakeside from a different perspective.
It’s a place to meet, relax and enjoy our outdoor events and activities, bringing more life to the waterfront and more reasons to make a day of your visit.
Shopping, food, entertainment and somewhere to take a breather. All in one destination.
Fashion has entered the chat
New coat? Autumn layers? Trainers you definitely need despite owning several other pairs?
Lakeside brings the season’s style together under one roof, with new arrivals alongside Zara, H&M, Mango, Reiss, Stradivarius, New Look, River Island, Next, Marks & Spencer, Nike, JD Sports, Office, Skechers, Timberland, Urban Outfitters, Victoria’s Secret and Lacoste.
Whether you’re planning a full wardrobe refresh or simply “having a look”, which we all know can escalate quickly, this is the place to see what’s new, try it on and take it home today.
No endless scrolling. No guessing whether it will fit. No parcel left behind the recycling bin.
Just new-season style, here now.
Don’t take our word for it
We could keep telling you that Lakeside is changing. But it would be much easier if you came and saw it for yourself.
Come for the new stores. Stay for the brands you already love. Try the new furniture. Explore The Quay. See what was hiding behind those hoardings.
And if you spot someone confidently typing “nothing ever changes” from the comfort of their sofa?
You know what to tell them.
Look again.
New brands. New spaces.
New-season style.
Lakeside, worth another look.
