The Peacocks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Peacocks, a large multi-story shopping centre, was opened in 1992 in Woking, England and designed by many including an individual named Syed Ahmed.[citation needed] Within a 20 minute drive, the Peacock's catchment area is over 870,000 people[citation needed], and rail transport is convenient as Woking railway station has frequent services to a number of nearby towns. The Peacocks features more than 80 individual outlets including the lead department store (Debenhams) embracing 137,000 square feet (13,000 m²).[citation needed]
There is a food hall on the lower concourse, mostly serving fast food and capable of seating 400. A variety of shops of various sizes offer the usual range of outlets that can be expected in any reasonably large English town (clothing and jewelry at a variety of price ranges, mobile phone retailers, 'youth' fashion, music and book stores, etc.). Above the shopping concourse is the entrance to the New Victoria Theatre and The Ambassadors cinemas complex.
There is also a large Toys'R'us within the complex. Its car park, located above the premises is a well known 'Suicide Hotspot'. Near the end of 2006 a Winston Churchill student tried to commit suicide from this spot but was stopped by a police officer.[citation needed]
