Nottingham has earned strong reputation for leading the way when it comes to style. Once the international centre for delicate lace and hosiery manufacture, then the home of design royalty Sir Paul Smith, our legacy lives on as one of the country’s top ten shopping destinations.

You will find a colourful mix of stylish independent retailers, specialist boutiques and big brand favourites lining the streets, with many more smaller chic label stores to be found.
