Liverpool ONE

Liverpudlians shop almost as passionately as they support football, so it is appropriate that there is a brand new shiny state-of-the-art retail development right in the heart of Liverpool called Liverpool ONE.

Liverpool ONE, which opened in 2008, is the largest city centre regeneration project in Europe and has given Liverpool shopping a whole new wonderful dimension. It is a stunningly designed centre that is home to more than 160 famous high street names, from a giant, gleaming new John Lewis to an Apple Store and a flagship Topshop. Liverpool ONE is also bulging with ultra-hip fashion brands and cool independent boutiques such as designer store Flannels, Urban Outfitters and pretty country homewares store Cath Kidston.

Aside from John Lewis and the big-name shops, both of the city’s football teams also have stores in Liverpool ONE (the Blues have cheekily called theirs Everton Two) so your Liverpool retail experience can involve picking up the very latest home strip and associated footy paraphernalia too.

Should you tire of shopping in Liverpool, and it is an exhausting business, then you can put your feet up and take a break at one of Liverpool ONE’s 19 restaurants. These serve up a fantastic array of delicious cuisines from around the globe, from French to Italian, Japanese and even South American.

New to Liverpool ONE is Jamie’s Italian, or you can tantalise your tastebuds at the award-winning Thai restaurant Chaophraya, sample the world on a plate for one set price at Red Hot Buffet or even dive into a bowl of noodles at Wagamama. Bars abound at Liverpool ONE too, so you can swiftly refresh yourself with a cheeky glass of chilled white wine or cold beer before heading out for some more retail. Liverpool ONE even has a 14-screen cinema if you fancy catching the very latest blockbuster.

Liverpool ONE is, in short, so much more than just a shopping destination. The Liverpool retail experience is now second to none.
