Following a £multi-million revamp, east Belfast's landmark shopping centre gleams with a double-height glass front and new food terrace. Indeed, visitors to the first floor food terrace will be genuinely amazed at what must be one of the best views in Belfast. Back at ground level, over 60 stores sell the latest fashions (New Look), home accessories (Dunnes), toys (Woolworths, Early Learning Centre) and jewellery (Claire's, H. Samuel). While Tesco and Argos ensure your trolley is well and truly stocked. Locals love this indoor shopping space so, if you're in the East and need a hit of retail therapy, join them for an hour or two's purse-weilding pleasure.
