Info
The Haymarket Shopping Centre is a shopping centre in the city centre of Leicester, England. It opened on 4 June 1973 as the Haymarket Centre and is the oldest shopping mall in Great Britain. It is located east of and adjacent to the Clock Tower. . The retail space is on two levels, three in the case of the two pre-existing buildings (former C&A and former Littlewoods).The Haymarket Shopping Centre boasts around 65 outlets, a bus station, a two-stage theatre, and Haymarket House (a three-story office block atop of the rooftop car park), and had previously boasted two nightclubs (located either side of the clock tower entrance), Dino's restaurant (adjacent to the theatre entrance) and two enclosed foot bridges (one crossing Charles Street in to Kildare Street and the other crossing Humberstone Gate linking to Lewis's department store).
Four wide pedestrian access points are located on the streets Haymarket (clock tower), Belgrave Gate, Charles Street and Humberstone Gate. Noticeably, there are no doors so no bottlenecks occur during busy periods. Some of the outlets can only be accessed from the street and some can only be accessed from the mall. The larger stores can be accessed either way.
