Milton Keynes is one of the UK’s most popular retail destinations thanks to its excellent transportation links, central location, car parking facilities and range of shops. This makes it the ideal location to lease, or buy, a shop or retail unit for your business.
Stemming from its new town roots the nature and spacial characteristics of the retail facilities in Milton Keynes does not follow the pattern associated with more mature towns and cities of a comparable population. Beginning with the prime locations, the hierarchy of retail centres is:
Central Milton Keynes (Centre:MK and Midsummer Place)
District Centres (Kingston and Westcroft)
Older town centres (Bletchley, Wolverton, Newport Pagnell and Stony Stratford)
Larger local centres (Oakgrove, Shenley Church End, Netherfield and Oxley Park)
Local centres (located in residential districts).
The principal bulky goods and retail warehouse schemes are located at
MK Dons Stadium, West Denbigh
Winterhill
Rooksley
Watling Street, Bletchley
Central Milton Keynes
Outside of the older town centres there is no clearly defined secondary retail location and a general shortage of good trading pitches. Competition for the available secondary shops is often considerable.
The main automobile franchises are located at:
Kingston and Brinklow
Northfield
Watling Street, Bletchley
Wolverton
Redmoor
