Since Bluewater opened its doors on March 16, 1999, it has set the benchmark for the ultimate shopping and leisure experience and the rest as they say is retail history…. Rising out of a former chalk quarry among 50 metre-high cliffs – pretty impressive considering that’s as high as 10 double decker buses – Bluewater’s striking architecture is simply unique. Located in Kent, traditionally known as the Garden of England, our overall site of 240 acres is surrounded by a 50 acre landscape of lakes, parkland and trees making it the perfect place for the whole family to enjoy. We have more than 330 stores, restaurants and cafes along with 13,000 of free car parking spaces attracting millions of visitors per annum. From the beginning we have always understood that exceptional customer service is paramount to enjoying the Bluewater experience and our Concierge Team are on hand to greet you with a warm welcome and help you make the most of your visit.
