Located in the heart of North Shields, the convenient and friendly Beacon Shopping Centre offers a wide range of outlets to suit every shopper's needs.
For the bare essentials or that special something, the Centre's 42 retail units include Boots, Wilkinsons and New Look - and many stores are open 7 days a week, including bank holidays.
With North Shields Metro station on the doorstep and excellent bus links, the Beacon Shopping Centre is easily accessible for residents and visitors alike. The multi-storey car park opposite, providing 423 spaces, was awarded Secure Status in 2004.
Situated in Stan Laurel’s hometown, the first phase of the Centre was built in 1978 with phase two opening some ten years later. The most photographed feature, the clock tower, was added in 1995.
The bright and spacious Beacon Shopping Centre stands on a high riverbank and boasts spectacular views of the Tyne. The nearby fish quay is the perfect place for shoppers to pick up some fresh fish and chips for lunch.
Fully pedestrianised and supervised by security at all times, the Beacon Shopping Centre offers a safe and welcoming environment that is a central part of the community.
With in-store promotions, a free kids club fronted by Centre mascot Billy Beacon Bear and regular events throughout the year, the Beacon Shopping Centre provides a shopping experience that is away from the hustle and bustle of city centre shops and truly at the heart of North Shields.
