Silver Arcade — Local services in Great Britain

This is an Absolutely Amazing Shopping Centre and one of the Only Enclosed Shopping Centres in the UK, about 8 years ago this Building which was dilapidated at the time was Purchased by a new Company and carried out one of the Most Amazing Restorations making the Silver Arcade basicaly look like when it was First Built!! The only problem is that there are very few Shops in this Shopping Centre and after speaking to previous Tenants they said the Problem was the New Owner's wanted specialist Local Shops in the Newly Renovated Property but I was Advised that the rent was so expensive new Start up Boutique Businesses could not afford the Rent, also following its renovation 8 years ago the rents have remained very Expensive so at the Moment there are Very Few shops in this Centre. It would be Great if the New Ownership Reduced the Monthly Rates to below the Price of the Highcross Shopping Centre right Opposite, this would bring in new Local Businesses and once they have established themselves in the Market then the New Ownership can look at New Rates and increase the Monthly Rent!! Although this Building is practically Empty Im still giving this a 5 Stars all around due to the Amazing Renovation and attention to detail making the Centre an Amazing Architectural Gem in Leicester im sure in a few years it will be full as Leicesters Economy Grows...

This place deserves to be 5 stars due to the beautiful architecture and fantastic restoration. Looks amazing. Sadly it is not used to its full potential with vacant premises. I used to visit here regularly in the 1990's. At that time the building looked run down, the lift did not work, but it had shops and was busy. There was a reason to visit. The Arcade today is a wasted opportunity. Only a handful of businesses, sadly little reason to visit. I'm not sure if as someone else has stated the owners of the arcade are charging too high rent If that's the case please lower the rates and get some businesses back in there bringing new life to the place. The is a wonderful place and would be a shame to...

The place is gorgeous and has beautiful vibe about it. I am however disappointed with how little could be found inside. This place should be used like Victoria centre in Leeds or some other high end spot that's so needed in Leicester..it's just a beautiful space being nothing but wasted.. Leicester City should try bit harder to organise this place and make it hot spot...
