Visited Broad Street Mall in Reading. Not much but still the mall offers a good variety of shops. Simple and easy layout to make things straightforward. Food court has decent selection of eateries for a quick bite.

A great mall with lots of shops to choose from which made it feel like there was something for everyone. It had some beautiful artwork on the first floor wall by the toilets and lovely festive decorations. (The angel wings were a real hit and we made sure to get a picture of my daughter in front of them!)

This mall boasts a brilliant disabled toilet with excellent facilities including a height-adjustable sink and a hoist! The mall also has 2 lifts and I'd say it's quite disabled-friendly if you do not need staff assistance.

We did have a few issues including the WiFi not working in some of the stores and the prize every time claw machine not working properly. Initially, it was not giving any prize despite 5 or 6 attempts and we found it hard to find a member of staff who worked at the mall. When we did manage to find someone, they said they were unable to help and that we should call the number on the machine however there wasn't one. The machine eventually worked for us though so all was well in the end.

We love it. It's not super modern in decor or facilities but tidy and has everything you need at good prices (where as Oracle has all the pricey shops). We miss wilko but that's not their fault! Highlights are reading biscuit factory (on the edge) pound land, the works, super drug (staff kind helpful and friendly) and Holland & B.

Pity about the new noisy venue which replaced NHS vaccination hub. Our autistic kids find it horrendous to walk past as so loud. Otherwise would be 5*.

Broad Street Mall in Reading offers convenient shopping with a good mix of stores and dining options. Clean and well-maintained, though it could benefit from more diverse boutiques. Crowd levels during peak hours may impact the overall experience.

There are a lot of really useful shops near bus stops, all on the ground floor. I'll often pop in here to pick up something from the works, superdrug, pound shop, TK max, Greggs,or one of the small clothes shops.

An old fashioned but convenient shopping complex on two floors. Has variety of shops, walk in NHS medical centre, Boswells Coffee house and various other shops. Parking in the same block with direct access to the shops.
Very lively at Xmas time with great decorations and a large Christmas tree in the centre.

Broad Street mall is a quirky little mall on the edge of Reading Town centre.

I don't think I'd visit much, except the car park is usually less busy and more convenient than the Oracle. If you do use the car park, beware that the lanes going up are amazingly tight, and the ceiling height amazingly low. Good luck not scraping a wheel rim! The top level (open air) is where I park because its less busy and the parking spaces seem bigger.

The shops are an odd collection, TK Maxx is always worth a quick browse, and Superdrug is there, otherwise generally a mix of non-high-street shops, and a barbers.
