The area rivals anywhere else in the country for the sheer variety and quality of shops. From some of the biggest shopping centres in Europe (with excellent transport links and parking facilities) to smaller, independent boutiques to some superb designer outlets, if it's retail heaven that you're after, then look no further.
Award winning chef Terry Laybourne's Cafe 21 and Cafe Live are among the best in town - classy contemporary cooking that never descends to the faddish. Those that fancy something a tad more exotic should head for Stowell Street's superb Chinese restaurants |
