Shopping
Nottingham is known for being the shopping metropolis of the East Midlands. If you want to live in a place with a good mix of shops you recognise and plenty of independents that you will grow to love then, the city centre has plenty on offer for you.
-
Nottingham has consistently been ranked as one of the UK’s leading retail centres and earned an enviable reputation for excellent shopping facilities – particularly for fashion.
-
Sir Paul Smith’s flagship store stands on the end of Byard Lane on the site where he first made his name. Since then Sir Paul has come back to NTU on more than one occasion to give talks to our fashion students.

Not far away from the Paul Smith store in the Lace Market are new independent clothes shops, such as the beloved Pink and Lilly’s.

As well as the cool independents, Nottingham is also blessed with major label stores like Firetrap.
