The Metrocentre is massive and I didn’t cover it all in this video. I’ll do another and pop in some shops too if people like this one

[@richiemason3938]

Might be massive but its got some poor shops in it they closed the bench shop, Debenhams has closed the biggest one in the metro. Hmv old shop upstairs is nothing now. They had Lacoste years ago. Its full of shit ones a furniture shop, timpsons, wilko, geek shops. The other big shopping centre has the likes of lyle and scott, Micheal koors, nike. We've got about 6 watch and jewellery shops which is far too many anyway

[@matthewsmith2787]

I agree, the shops are rather poor. Not even a John Lewis or a Waitrose

[@ninisworld3188]

Thankyou for this video this is the best 4k vid i have ever seen thx :)

[@queenpig]

It feels like forever since I've been here 3 or 4 Christmas ago. Everything is so different yet still the same

[@chrislloyd7971]

Love this place. Lots of restaurants and cinema there too. That would be cool to see if you go again! 👍👍

[@rovecrave]

Yeah that’s right.. I didn’t cover the whole centre but will do another and maybe go in more shops too 👍

[@Goawayyoudontknowme693]

THERES A CINEMA…. there wasn’t one when I went ages ago I’m going for my bday wich is in a few weeks

[@zeddeka]

It's sadly a shadow of its former self. Like so many malls around the western world, it's struggling. The big chains that used to anchor the centre, House of Fraser, Debenhams, Top Shop, BHS, Littlewoods, Woolworths - they've all gone bust. Part of me thinks that in ten years time it'll all be demolished and there'll be a housing estate there instead.

[@hassyg4083]

looks like they dont have many people visiting . westfields are busy

[@ELPaso1990TX]

⁠@@hassyg4083 I agree much nicer clientele in Westfield’s. Metro centre was rough and chavy.

[@TheWalkingExplorer]

I’ve not been in the MetroCentre for years. I think the last time I was in there, MetroLand had just closed!

[@gabrielarthur1264]

It looks so calm, but also pretty busy! Keep on with the good job mate 👍

[@rovecrave]

Yeah it was busy but everyone was lining up to get in the shops which made it less hectic 👍 glad you like it 🤗

[@balthiersgirl2658]

I still go to the MetroCentre every fortnight its my local but not many shops left i miss the old days with the fountains trees so many great shops back then baba yaga and the all year round Christmas shop so many great places gone now

[@cheese3490]

What happened? Is it because of Covid ?

[@triplecraft3370]

Loved to see through this Angle! Great place to hangout! Your videos are always amazing!

[@rovecrave]

Thank you! 🤗 glad you enjoyed it. Going to do another where I visit more shops

[@scotthutchinson7606]

This is soooo relaxing!!!

[@lucasr0m3ro92]

Wow! I've never been into this mall, it looks super huge. Thanks again for the good video!

[@rovecrave]

Yeah it’s awesome mall. Just outside Newcastle 👍 glad you liked it

[@flamingfirecat7684]

I’ve been here it’s so good

[@Zara0692]

Kind of sad to see half of these places are now closed, Metrocentre is not what it used to be

[@BarbaraSouzaOficial]

I'm going to this mall tomorrow! So excited to do Christmas shopping! Thanks for the video 👍

[@rovecrave]

Awesome! Be prepared to line up at some of the more popular shops! But mid week it might not be so busy ☺️👌👍 thanks for watching, glad you liked it

[@rovecrave]

@MajaGryShorts enjoy! We went again this week and lots of new shops have opened near the Apple Store so be sure to check them out!

[@simply.maryam1126]

I go to the metro center alot abd it gets small when you go to it again and again

[@kevinbrewis6014]

[@paulrockett7409]

Should be like an official google maps style version so ppl know where to go before get there

[@omarbaba9892]

God I miss going there once a week with mates before lockdown

[@rovecrave]

Yeah it’s strange going back after such a long time. Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@bendavison8981]

Haven't been for years. Used to love the clockworks food court and the fun house as a kid

[@georgieterry1956]

I’m just imagine I’m there this lockdown is getting to me haha

[@rovecrave]

Yeah it’s going on a bit too long now!! Glad this video is helping

[@ghosthunternumberone]

What Camera are you using for this mate? Is it The DJI Osmo Pocket or a Phone??

[@rovecrave]

It’s the DJI pocket 2. Amazing little camera

[@ghosthunternumberone]

@@rovecrave Ah right. Yep I agree. I don't have one, but I have been researching them alot! Have you checked out The Feiyutech pocket also? Did you ever try the original 2st Osmo Pocket?

[@fraserr851]

I come here every Sunday I litrelly live inside the Lego shop what day is it when u filmed I might be on there?

[@rovecrave]

Maybe! I'm going back to film in some shops soon

[@MotorwayGaming2018]

I used to live in north east England and would visit metrocentre every month. Now I had to move south and I thought that there is something metrocentre has that no other shopping mall has. Gateshead is home to the UK's 2and largest shopping centre which was formerly the largest.

[@rovecrave]

Yes it’s a special centre! Love just going for a wander. Glad you enjoyed the video 😁

[@MotorwayGaming2018]

Thanks.

[@MotorwayGaming2018]

Looking forward to move back.

[@MotorwayGaming2018]

2019 was the best year when I went there because I did as much as I wanted before lockdown. But I did all that bc 2020 was the start of my GCSE Learning.

[@richiemason3938]

I live 5 minutes away from the metro and at the minute it's got the worst selection of shops. They need a few decent ones like a lyle and scott shop, maybe micheal koors, why did they get rid of lacoste

[@matthewsmith2787]

I would say only M&S is the only decent store there, it’s quite a large store.

[@shadow-Sun]

You cannot hide the decline of the Metro Centre (pandemic filming aside) this place is devoid of buzz the shops are mainly low rent offerings great swathes of shops have closed for good never to return (and not all of that is due to the pandemic) it's being coasting downhill for a few years now . Just past the antiques village (lol ) no shops at all there used to be lots of little independents or small box stores there now non at all in that area (from about 4.11 onwards ) . There is a noticeable abscence of "community spaces" i.e seated areas for the convenience of the shoppers to sit a while the trees and foliage mostly all gone and the lack of benches to relax aaround the large shopping Mall are conspicuous by there abscence . Guess Metro Centre don't want the cost of all the seating they dont prvide impacting their bottom line , equally how does it look to have their shoppers siiting on the floor here and there ? not good . The metro centres hey day was in the 1990s , personally the pandemic aside this place will either have to change improve drastically or it will continue to die and wither away . Shame because back in the day it had a real decent offering for the consumer . Nowadays I think it's like a big warehouse , sterile and quite frankly dull .

[@rovecrave]

Thanks for your insight. Will be revisiting soon

[@Xenon777_]

Losing some of its main anchors such as Debenhams, House of Fraser and BHS (just to name a few) won't have helped. Many areas outside of the Metrocentre have their own retail parks with enough shops that travelling to the Metrocentre isn't always worth it.

is I phone good for making videos share your experience please

[@rovecrave]

I would say yes.. especially the newer, stabilised pro ones!

[@nbilton9723]

The place used to have so much Character, lots of foliage and fountains, etc. When Intu took the place over, they stripped all of those things away, which made the place look clinical, soulless and bland, which is a shame. Hopefully the new owners, will stick to their word and 'inject' life into the place.

[@rovecrave]

Yes it did use to have lots of character. Here’s hoping it gets a new look
