Parking at atria Watford: car park charges and opening times


"I have visited the Atria shopping centre in Watford recently for the first time in years when it was the Harlequin and I was actually quite shocked by the changes and hardly recognised the place," he wrote. "I was really impressed with the changes, upgrades and improvements since my last visit."

But despite its high overall rating, not everyone is a fan, with one reviewer writing: "A shopping centre full of coffee bars/restaurants and very few good stores. Parking is very expensive. Not really worth visiting."

Another suggested that shops closing down has impacted the atria: "Many big name shops are gone now and many empty shops you won't find any electrical items in the shopping centre apart from Boots which are just crazy, can see why people shop online."
