Northumberland Street
Northumberland Street is Newcastle's main shopping street and it is often compared to the Oxford Street of the North. It has a high concentration of household names such as Next, Zara and BHS.
Unlike Oxford Street, Northumberland Street is pedestrianised, with the benches for tired shoppers, but you will find this very common in most shopping areas in Newcastle as we do cater for the men in the family as well.
That is why behind every great shopping street will be a great pub to grab refreshments and discuss the purchases of the day of in the case of the men or dads just take a break.
The street itself has links off to Eldon Square, Monument Mall and Princess Square all well in the North for their shopping experience. If what you're looking for are household names, then a Northumberland Street is the street for you. If, however, you seek designer names then look elsewhere.
Some Great things to look out for on Northumberland Street.
During the Christmas month Fenwick's window is a must for both children and adults and every year pulls in great crowds to look at the play scenes recreated by the store, such as the nativity, scrooge and many more.
All through the street there are different forms of sculpture mostly taking a theme from the avid support that the city gives its football team Newcastle United Football Club.
