Visitor Reviews
Reviews Summary
Visitors generally find The Centre Livingston to be a clean and well-maintained shopping mall with a good variety of shops, including popular high street brands and unique stores like MINISO. The chocolate shop is a particular highlight for many. However, some find the layout less impressive than other Scottish shopping centres, and the lack of free parking, even for disabled bays, is a common point of dissatisfaction.
"I liked The Centre, it was very clean and well kept, the toilets were clean and there's loads of decent shops under 1 roof, unlike most shopping centres nowadays there wasn't very many empty shops which is good. Plus there are loads of nice coffee shops a whetherspoons and 1962 cafe bar. It's a good place to go shopping as there's loads of decent shops and the designer outlet is just over the road."

"First time visiting this place and we weren't too impressed, hated the layout for a start, we werent too impressed with the shops or cafes either. Silverburn and braehead are so much better!
Doubt we would return and parking isn't free either like all other shopping centres in scotland!
Most of the reviews on this place are for the designer outlet not the centre itself!!!!
Disabled bays are not free, when they should be!!"
