Royal Victoria Place goes down market

Yes, I have blogged on this topic before, but a recent visit to RVP has left me even more depressed.  When RVP  opened the spacious circulating area and open spaces were a delight.  But what has happened?  Decking has been added at first floor level, cafes squeezed into the circulating area and a plethora of mobile stands added.  More Lakeside than Bluewater.

The owners are sweating the assets and as a consequence the shopping experience has deteriorated.  The recently opened extension to the shopping centre at County Square, Ashford is reminiscent of what RVP used to be like.
