What Puts McArthurGlen Designer Outlet in the Hall of Shame?
There may be cycle routes, bus links and railway access – but don’t be fooled, it’s designed wholely for cars. The circular, corridor design creates a strange chill where ever you are, and the strong focus on cars (filling the center) blinds the eyes. There’s no obvious place to sit, unless you want to consume fast food. There’s a cold windy food hall where you can eat fast food, and a reasonably good children’s playground, but other than that, it’s just shops. If they’d included an outdoor cafe, it would have been slightly more bearable. The Designer Outlet is not a kind place.
