The Mall, Ilford

Not sure what has happened to all the shops that used to be there. A few unusual ones but nothing great. A floor dedicated to eating tho with a good choice

The Mall used to be busting with great shops, but in the last few years so many of the shops has closed - such as Topshop, Miss Selfridge…

They have been either replaced or left empty. There really is hardly anything worth going there for now. There is much more choice in Romford which is about 15 mins drive.

This mall is ok but it has very basic shops, there is not a wide variety of shops. Good for just small shopping, its clean, can be busy at times.

To be honest, I’m not a fan of the Mall, there always seems to be loads of kids playing on the escalors and lifts, the shops are not anything special, even Debenhams (better to go to Oxford Street!)
The toilets are way behind the food court, although the ladies (can’t comment on the gents) have loads of cubicles, there’s only one disabled loo.

another great mall with loads of shops for ur every need

In my opinion, the mall has gone down hill in the last few years. As mentioned in other reviews, what could be considered quality shops have been replaced by cheaper versions and that seems to be the way for the whole area to be honest.

Although they do still have some decent shops and you should be able to find soemthing you need, but alot of changes which isnt always for the best has happened here.

Car parking is also a bit short, seeing as car valeting has seemed to taken over a number of levels!

It is quite clean though, but to be honest i only ever go into ilford if i really have to. I do not think it is a very safe place in my opinion and the people are quite rude.

Well the mall has changed a lot over the years. More shops have been put in and others have been replaced. For the girls there is fashion (clothes shoes and jewellery), for the guys theres electrons (sorry to stereotype) and for the family is debenams the department store which meets nearly every persons needs. Though I was gutted that topshop and miss selfridges were both replaced with cheap tacky shops called risky!! I hope that the quality of the shops does not discrease or people in need of specific things will have to go further out in order to get them. It is family friendly, large groups of people are moved on in order for no one to feel intimidated or penalised.

The Mall in Ilford is a family friendly place to shop and socialise. With 78 stores including large departmental stores it i an ideal place to shop and caters for all your shopping needs. There is also a large food court area on the top floor offering fast food, ideal for a quick meal in between shopping or a light social lunch. It is an ideal place to shop if you live nearby and offers shoppers a safe environment.
