shopping
Liverpool shopping is world class, which is only fitting for a city that can shop till it drops. Shoppers are spoilt for choice between gleaming new city-centre shopping centres to boutique arcades, bohemian streets and farmers markets.
Liverpool ONE, right in the heart of the city, is the shiny new designer Liverpool shopping centre that is home to more than 160 famous high street names, from John Lewis to Apple, Topshop to Cath Kidston.
Then there is the exclusive Metquarter, where you will find more select fashion and beauty outlets such as Jo Malone, Molton Brown and MAC. For the boys there is Gieves & Hawkes and Tommy Hilfiger.
But Liverpool shopping also has the ultra fashionable Cavern Walks, home to Vivienne Westwood and WAGS favourite Cricket, which sells impossibly expensive handbags and designer clobber. Lark Lane is also a groovy destination full of bohemian boutiques and street markets.
Shopping in the Liverpool City Region, outside the city centre, has much to offer too. There is Lord Street in Southport, an elegant parade of Victorian arcades with a whole host of smart shops and boutiques, while the Wirral has various farmshops bulging with lots of delicious local produce.
