City Centre

Plymouth City Centre is the heart of the city’s shopping and the place to go if you’re looking for retail therapy, some great food and drink or a slice of cake and a coffee.

Browse big name brands in Drake Circus where you’ll find the likes of M&S, Joules, White Stuff, Cath Kidston and more as well as popular brunch spot Bill’s and Yo! Sushi.

On either side of Drake Circus you’ll find the pedestrianised city centre with high street stores alongside hundreds of great independents. Stroll down to Plymouth Market to find some amazing unique stalls and incredible artisan food and drink.

Just outside of the city centre, Ebrington Street offers a quirky street of independent stores, with a social enterprise pub, the Bread and Roses and some great coffee shops.

The city’s wide tree-lined pedestrianised boulevards are a product of proud post-war redevelopment. Be sure to look up above the shop fronts and facades to see the designs in Portland stone that inspired TV’s Kevin McCloud to declare Plymouth’s post war architecture ‘beautiful and heroic.’

Charles Cross roundabout is home to the city’s living reminder of the Blitz that reshaped the city, with the bombed out Charles Church sitting at its centre. The Minster Church of St Andrew, which has been the site of a church since the 15th century stands proudly in the city centre. Having been gutted by fire during World War II and refurbished in 1957 the fabric of the building still retains some of its original features along with modern stained glass windows and bells that were cast in the 16th century to celebrate Sir Francis Drake’s circumnavigation of the globe.

With a range of cafes and restaurants on the high street there’s plenty to choose from when it comes to fuelling your retail therapy. From the Caribbean flavours of Turtle Bay through to the traditional pasty at the Original Pasty House there’s plenty of food on offer and you’ll be spoilt for choice with places to stop for a coffee and slice of cake too!
