City of Retail and Shopping

 

Glasgow has the largest retail sector outside of London.

Residents and visitors from around the UK and overseas are drawn to the city’s expanding shopping outlets, including:

  • Shopping malls like the chic and trendy Princes Square, the enormous St Enoch Centre, Sauchiehall Street Centre, the historical Argyle Arcade, and the Buchanan Galleries
  • Heading out of the city centre there is the convenience of the Parkhead Forge, Glasgow Fort and Silverburn shopping parks.
  • The main pedestrianised shopping thoroughfares of Sauchiehall Street, Buchanan Street and Argyle Street.
  • The unique and colourful Barras weekend street market
  • The smaller, characterful outlets of the city’s bohemian West End
  • A wide range of top class cafés, restaurants, pubs and wine bars
