Eastgate Square Shopping Centre — Local services in Great Britain

We visited Chester several times last year and each visit we ended spending some time exploring the independent shops and browsing the high street names at the Grosvenor Shopping Centre. Located directly within the city's historic walls, this indoor shopping arcade makes for a pleasant break especially when the weather turns rainy.

The marble floors and arched ceilings give the space a grand, antique feel that provides an atmospheric setting for browsing. Spotting the remnants of the original 15th century architecture is like stepping back in time. Intermixed with merchants of old are modern cafes and chains like TK Maxx. It's fun to search out little boutiques squeezed between the larger retailers.

Many come just to wander and take in the views out to Eastgate Clock and Bridge Street beyond the colonnades. It's also a family-friendly one-stop-shop with prizes for little ones readily available.

As with many centers, the loss of anchor stores during the pandemic like Debenhams left noticeable gaps. That said, monthly pop-ups help fill empty units and add an ever-changing element. Staff are consistently pleasant and knowledgeable about the local area. Access and parking underneath is very convenient.

Public restrooms would enhance the customer experience and I believe is a main pain point. Overall, the Grosvenor Shopping Centre nonetheless serves as a nice mid-trip pause when touring all that historic Chester...
