Opening in 1990 in the Thames Gateway region, Lakeside was the first regional shopping centre in the South of England and now, together with the adjoining Retail Park, forms one of the largest shopping areas in Europe. The shopping centre offers a comprehensive selection of retail brands which are complemented with a wide range of cafés and restaurants and a multi-screen cinema, all playing their part in Lakeside's success in attracting shoppers throughout the day and late into the evening.
