It's December, so you may well have some Christmas shopping to do.
The Metrocentre in Gateshead is open until the late evening on weekdays, so there is plenty of time to get some bits and pieces after work.
Home to a mix of big-name retailers and independents, there is a range of choices in the malls, as well as places to fuel up on food. And with enough free parking for 10,000 cars it's the ideal place to go if you are ferrying home some bigger gifts.
