Shopping in Nottingham

Nottingham is one of the top two retail centres in the UK according to a recent national survey and it really is a shopper's paradise with over 1300 shops from which to choose.

There are six major department stores and two major shopping centres, the Victoria and the Broadmarsh centres, offering all-weather shopping. The elegant Flying Horse Walk and Exchange Arcades are a must for top quality clothing, arts, furniture and accessories. There are many specialised shops offering everything from collectable antiques along Derby Road, to the latest must-have goods and items that you can only find in the unique Hockley area of the city.

Extensive pedestrianisation and splendid floral displays around the city in summer make city centre shopping a real pleasure. So too the abundance of restaurants, cafes, pubs and bistros around the city which, when weather permits, bring al fresco dining for a real continental feel. Not surprising therefore that Nottingham has been voted one of the most "vital and vibrant" city centres in the UK.

Broad Marsh Shopping Centre
The Broad Marsh Centre is very popular with children for its many activities, and a favourite choice with the general shopper being host to many familiar high street names.

Victoria Shopping Centre
The Victoria Centre is one of the country’s outstanding places to shop. The shoppers’ choice is tremendous, with a wide range of department stores, specialist shops and the lively Victoria Market with more than 300 stalls selling food and household goods.
