About Lakeside Shopping Centre
Lakeside Shopping Centre is one of the UK's largest shopping destinations, set beside the Thames near Dartford. The complex houses more than 250 shops, cafes and restaurants, ranging from major high street brands to specialist stores, alongside a 14-screen Odeon cinema with IMAX facilities.
The centre has been a major retail hub since opening in 1990. Visitors can explore extensive fashion, homeware, beauty and electronics departments, with quieter zones and seating areas throughout. There are multiple dining options from fast food to sit-down restaurants, making it suitable for a full day out. The riverside location offers some breathing space between shopping sessions, and the site is well served by car parking and public transport links.
