We stayed overnight in Thurrock (an impromptu extra night on our way to Kent) and so popped into the Intu shopping centre just to visit the Waterstones, therefore this is only going to be a short entry!
Lakeside opened in 1990 and, according to their Twitter account, the store opened there in 2006. Like the branch in Tottenham Court Road, the store has an industrial feel.
After leaving here, we headed across the Thames Crossing to Kent for a night there before our trip to Belgium.
