NORWICH - ranked in the UK's top 5 shopping destinations!

Norwich is a unique shopping destination with its large pedestrian areas, quirky, independent shops, 6 day open-air market and spacious modern shopping malls.

Range, quality and that element of surprise are all part of the Norwich shopping experience. The city’s “High Street” includes St Stephen’s and pedestrianised thoroughfares like Gentlemans Walk and London Street. The Mall Norwich and Chapelfield shopping centre have over 150 stores between them and, together with the city centre, Norwich has all the UK’s leading department stores, including John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, House of Fraser, Bhs and Debenhams.

Dozens of independent shops bring an extra dimension to any trip. Jarrold has been named UK Independent Department Store of the Year twice and the Norwich Lanes and Timberhill offer individual fashion and lifestyle shopping, against a background of narrow alleys and beautiful historic buildings. Elm Hill, Norwich’s most famous medieval cobbled street, combines beautifully preserved timber framed houses with shops selling everything from antiques to teddy bears!

New shops such as Bravissimo, TM Lewin and LK Bennett are springing up all the time. With so much choice why would you want to shop anywhere else?
