How much shopping can YOU imagine?
This is the sign outside a small shopping arcade in Wellington. Now I may not be a shopaholic, in fact, I may find shopping a bit of a chore; but I can actually imagine quite a bit of shopping to be honest. Ok, I come from the UK, so had access to the Trafford Centre, Outlet Centres and large town centres if i really needed some retail therapy. But this one takes the biscuit even my New Zealand’s standards.
So what does Lambton Square actually contain?
A newsagents
A book shop/stationary shop
A health food store
A pharmacy
Photographic store
A convenience store
A selection of cafes and small fast food outlets
Travel agents
Underwear shop
Internet Cafe
Outside, in the alley that goes up to the Terrace, there actually a better selection, including a Teddy Bear shop, more cafes, some clothes stores and a Home wears store.
Generally the only reason I go in there is to use the escalator to get from Lambton Quay up to the Terrace, cos the alley is a bit steep and I’m lazy.
But on the whole, a little bit “over promised and under delivered”.
