Nottingham city centre is the cultural, commercial, financial and historical heart of Nottingham, England. Nottingham's city centre represents the central area of the Greater Nottingham conurbation. The centre of the city is usually defined as the Old Market Square - the UK's largest city square. A major redevelopment of the Old Market Square was completed in March 2007. Many of the main shopping streets abut the square, which is dominated by Nottingham's city hall. The building's landmark dome may be seen for miles around. Much of the ground floor of the building houses the Exchange Arcade, a boutique shopping centre. A Bohemian quarter of the city known as Hockley has arisen in recent years, situated close to the Lace Market area. The north-western end of the city centre is home to the Nottingham Trent University city campus which contains a lively mix of old and new buildings. The University's Newton building is one of the tallest buildings in Nottingham and has a prominent position on the city's skyline. Nottingham's central railway station is located in the city centre. Nottingham Express Transit trams also service the area. ==Shopping== Nottingham city centre has been voted 5th in Experian's list of the top 15 UK retail areas.〔(Shopping Rankings )〕 The city centre's fashion core is centred on Bridlesmith Gate, which is home to upmarket names such as Kurt Geiger, Ted Baker and Diesel. Sir Paul Smith's flagship store is located on Middle Pavement, and Hugo Boss is located on St. Peter's Gate. London-based Harvey Nichols now have plans to open a store in the Broadmarsh area but it depends on the development that is due to take place over the year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nottingham City Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
