Having popped in here semi regularly over the last 5 years it's sad to see such a massive complex decline so much, every visit there seems to be fewer and fewer shops. The little eating pavilion, which used to have a nice selection of independent food and drink shops now has a bar, smoothie shop and a cafe / record shop, the rest is now closed.
The venue seriously lacks a reason to visit, with generic shops that can be found elsewhere in town.

The Royal Victoria Place is slowly dying. There are so many shops empty. Ely Court is devoid of any eateries. It has become a sad and depressing place to visit. Even at lunchtime on a Monday, the place is like a ghost town. Very few people. Sorry, but it's true.
Came here to look at a unit in Ely Court and Nicky was really lovely . I lived in Tunbridge Wells a long time ago and loved every minute . I worked in the Victoria Centre and it thrived back then . I was going to open a wonderful cafe which would be a community hub for people . There are some wonderful shops in here .
Sad to see how the centre is now ,just need M&S or Fenwick to go and be final straw, the aggressive council attack on motorist will not help the footfall as they will stop coming to town.I have travelled to town for year's to shop it was a vibrant and fun experience but now depressing place, no food hall, lots of empty units and a low quality experience now. Nothing for families in centre. I was in Crowborough and overheard motorist who was fined £70 saying never go to Tunbridge Wells anymore council never learns.
It’s a ghost town honestly I’ve grown up in Tunbridge wells been here all my life and never seen anything so disappointing in all my life like being back the shops and stuff because people who tourist there won’t be coming back if I was one I’d leave immediately
For me it was quite sad to see the mall go down hill as years ago it used to be such an amazing mall me and my brother went there for years and took my Nan there every other weekend but since covid and lockdown all started it went downhill and shops started to close and the food court only has a subway I woudnt go this mall anymore
Half empty of shops. The indie shops that are there disappear as soon as they appear, leaving the big ones that are also half empty due to the popularity of their shops on the industrial estate. The food court is empty bar a Subway, and that used to be a lively focal point.
Used to be great, but there's absolutely no reason to go there any longer. I would post pictures, but you know what an empty mall looks like.

Good parking, tickets obtained from machine or on app via RingGo. 10 minute walk from the train station or buses on the high street atea. Very clean and tidy good toilets nice selection of big name shops and independent ones, few food stalls and getting area.
Has gone downhill massively over the last decade. A lot of empty buildings and spaces. Very much a sensory overload with lots of smells, loud noises, bright overbearing lights. I wouldn’t make a trip there unless I needed something as a lot of the local shops have been replaced with chains that can last there.
Great shopping centre with multi-storey parking available.
Make sure to park on the correct level for the parking code. This is monitored.

Beware of the check in parking system! Despite successfully checking out and obtaining a valid receipt for £4 on my two most recent visits (two months apart), I have in-fact been charged more than double the amount, each time, when checking my online statements.
A poor shopping experience with barely a few decent shops.

Very convenient to park here and you can ether explore the town or shop in the many different retail shops, as well as enjoy a bite to eat or just relax with a cuppa ☕️
Unfortunately like many other places all around the country, if not the world most of the units are closed or empty 😶
But I definitely recommend visiting this place when Fenwick have their sale, it’s usually bargains to be found all around their department store.
