The Bridges
The Bridges Shopping Centre, commonly known as ‘The Bridges’ is a shopping centre located in Sunderland, England. The centre was opened by Princess Royal, Anne in 1988.
The center comprises 79 stores, including 2 anchor tenants, Primark and TK Maxx. There are also 9 food outlets on site, ranging from coffee shops to cafes, including a Greggs Cafe & Esquires Coffee branch.
As a result of Debenhams entering administration, their anchor outlet at the center closed in May 2021, which reduced the total number of anchors from 3 to 2.
In December 2021, the supermarket chain Tesco confirmed they would be closing the Tesco Express store located within the center in Summer 2022. The store closed on 2 April 2022.
On 12 June 2025, a new Tesco Express store opened within the centre.
The shopping center offers over 900 parking spaces in 2 car parks, a multi-story car park, and a rooftop car park.
Both car parks operate with an hourly charge the majority of the time, with the following exceptions: Sundays & Bank Holidays have a single charge for parking during the day (8 AM-6 PM), and free parking is available Thursday Evenings between 5:30 PM & 9:00 PM.
The car park was open 24 hours a day until May 2017.
