Second Largest Shopping Centre - Walking around Metrocentre Gateshead 4K 

The Metrocentre is massive and I didn’t cover it all in this video. I’ll do another and pop in some shops too if people like this one

It feels like forever since I've been here 3 or 4 Christmas ago. Everything is so different yet still the same

This is soooo relaxing!!!

It's sadly a shadow of its former self. Like so many malls around the western world, it's struggling. The big chains that used to anchor the centre, House of Fraser, Debenhams, Top Shop, BHS, Littlewoods, Woolworths - they've all gone bust. Part of me thinks that in ten years time it'll all be demolished and there'll be a housing estate there instead.

I’ve not been in the MetroCentre for years. I think the last time I was in there, MetroLand had just closed!

Love this place. Lots of restaurants and cinema there too. That would be cool to see if you go again! 👍👍

It looks so calm, but also pretty busy! Keep on with the good job mate 👍

I’ve been here it’s so good

Loved to see through this Angle! Great place to hangout! Your videos are always amazing!

Wow! I've never been into this mall, it looks super huge. Thanks again for the good video!

Kind of sad to see half of these places are now closed, Metrocentre is not what it used to be

I still go to the MetroCentre every fortnight its my local but not many shops left i miss the old days with the fountains trees so many great shops back then baba yaga and the all year round Christmas shop so many great places gone now

I'm going to this mall tomorrow! So excited to do Christmas shopping! Thanks for the video 👍

Nice video

the tall blonde with the ponytail leaving M&S is called Lisa, recocnise her anywhere, friends for years, I'll tell her she's on this video, thank you for the content

Im going here tomorrow for a girls day!!

Should be like an official google maps style version so ppl know where to go before get there

Haven't been for years. Used to love the clockworks food court and the fun house as a kid

It still looks good after 30 years.

God I miss going there once a week with mates before lockdown

I go to the metro center alot abd it gets small when you go to it again and again

I’m just imagine I’m there this lockdown is getting to me haha

What Camera are you using for this mate? Is it The DJI Osmo Pocket or a Phone??

I come here every Sunday I litrelly live inside the Lego shop what day is it when u filmed I might be on there?

I used to live in north east England and would visit metrocentre every month. Now I had to move south and I thought that there is something metrocentre has that no other shopping mall has. Gateshead is home to the UK's 2and largest shopping centre which was formerly the largest.

Is the fairground still their

is I phone good for making videos share your experience please

Nice

I live 5 minutes away from the metro and at the minute it's got the worst selection of shops. They need a few decent ones like a lyle and scott shop, maybe micheal koors, why did they get rid of lacoste

There is one born every minute. I wish I could round up that many of them.

You cannot hide the decline of the Metro Centre (pandemic filming aside) this place is devoid of buzz the shops are mainly low rent offerings great swathes of shops have closed for good never to return (and not all of that is due to the pandemic) it's being coasting downhill for a few years now . Just past the antiques village (lol ) no shops at all there used to be lots of little independents or small box stores there now non at all in that area (from about 4.11 onwards ) . There is a noticeable abscence of "community spaces" i.e seated areas for the convenience of the shoppers to sit a while the trees and foliage mostly all gone and the lack of benches to relax aaround the large shopping Mall are conspicuous by there abscence . Guess Metro Centre don't want the cost of all the seating they dont prvide impacting their bottom line , equally how does it look to have their shoppers siiting on the floor here and there ? not good . The metro centres hey day was in the 1990s , personally the pandemic aside this place will either have to change improve drastically or it will continue to die and wither away . Shame because back in the day it had a real decent offering for the consumer . Nowadays I think it's like a big warehouse , sterile and quite frankly dull .

MAUD de Meetic m'a dit qu'elle croyait que Altruisme et Égoïsme sont dans une même personne, elle l'a prouvé hier soir avec deux amants Patrick

The place used to have so much Character, lots of foliage and fountains, etc. When Intu took the place over, they stripped all of those things away, which made the place look clinical, soulless and bland, which is a shame. Hopefully the new owners, will stick to their word and 'inject' life into the place.

It looks nice but meadow Hall in Sheffield is better as I'm from Sheffield

Metro centre has some rather poor shops. No Fenwick, John Lewis or Waitrose. Not even a Hollister.
