What's the verdict on Southgate then?

Anybody been to the new shopping centre yet? Love it/hate it/indifferent? I've had a couple of walks around and was there yesterday in the pouring rain while Ali Vowles was doing a live news item. I love the new look (small caps) and layout of the centre. It has a very cosy feel. There's nothing to excite me about the shops themselves though. They're mostly clothes shops aimed at students, 20-somethings and the hyper-trendy.

Oh, and the escalators in Boots go the wrong way.
