City shopping
Nottingham's a shopper's paradise. And the big name department stores, high street favourites, leading designer boutiques and funky independent retailers are just waiting for you to discover them.

Walking north will take you through Parliament Street or Clumber Street straight to Victoria Centre. Heading south towards Westfield Broadmarsh takes you past Friar Lane, Wheeler Gate & Lister Gate. Eastwards, there's the designer and bohemian districts of Low Pavement, Bridlesmith Gate, the Lace Market and Hockley. And to the west there's Derby Road and Canning Circus for fine and unique independent shopping.
