History

Prince Bishops Shopping Centre was built in 1999 after the demolition of the infamous concrete multi-storey car park in Leazes Bowl. Nearly twenty years on Prince Bishops Shopping Centre, located right in the heart of Durham, remains the city's premier shopping venue.

With over 40 leading retailers, including: H&M, Next, Monsoon, Fat Face, New Look, Boots and Superdrug, Pandora and Clarks, along with a range of unique boutiques, this open air shopping centre is a key part of any visit to the city.

It's the perfect place to pick up hot fashion fixes, gadgets, health and beauty products, and homeware. You can even get a stylish new hairdo, or take a break and have a coffee (or a cocktail!) and a snack. To see the shopping centre directory, click here.
