The holiday decorations that are out right now are beautiful at night! I've been here at least 3x now but still haven't seen everything! Great deals are to be found pretty much anywhere you go out here. I'm a sucker for deals, so I have to pace myself, lol. The people are nice and so are the employees in the stores. Lots of photo opps for the IG fanatic. Check out Liverpool One and see what it has in store for YOU!

This shopping mall is HUGE and has many floors that are accessible via stairs or escalator. Seems like a great place to come for your every day needs and even for special occasion wants. They have luxury brand stores & more casual clothing stores. Lots of different coffee shops here, as well, lovely for a pick me up while doing some shopping! By the Starbucks, there are stairs with each step covered with turf that made for a pleasant area to sit and rest before getting up to shop again or just walk around.

The New Mersey Shopping Park located in Speke (not far from John Lennon Airport) is a massive…read moreretail park boasting up to 40 upscale stores of different varieties such as Boots, M&S, B&Q and HMV therefore there is a shop to suit everyone. In addition, there are a couple of common places to eat like McDonald's and Pizza Hut, yet I do feel there could be a little more restaurants considering the size of the area. Nevertheless, it makes a great day out because you can easily spend hours browsing each store as you walk around from one end to the other. The retail park has a bright and modern feel to it. No surprise it is so popular with visitors, with a huge car park to accommodate.

After a breakfast of pancakes with white chocolate and strawberries and a faux-lunch at Cheshire…read moreFarm Ice Cream, you can imagine that my little group was as hyped up as they could possibly be. What better, then, to spend the afternoon shopping. We had the time, the energy, and because of the sales, the cash. I've heard that Cheshire Oaks is very much like those subject-to-season shops I often talk about, the TK Maxxes and Home Bargains of this world. Sometimes you can go and come away armed with inexpensive goodies. Other times, no matter how much you root, there's nothing there. I however caught it on a good day. And it was a surprise and a half. What I had expected was a mall, something Arndaley or Lowry-esque, but what you actually get is what looks like a gargantuan entertainment complex with a vast car park in the middle. All the stores are decked out in a kind of mock-Tudor frontage which somehow just about manages to be endearing as opposed to tacky. And the sheer variety of stores is simply mind-boggling. We found ourselves in All Saints, Diesel, Levi's, picking up many little bargains. But there's far more than that, there are sports shops, electronics stores, homeware outlets, the list just goes on. You'd find it hard to visit everything in a single day, and it would take me about five pages to list everything. With eateries on every corner it's easy to while away the hours there. I'd heartily recommend that you download the online store guide before you go and perhaps print out a copy to ensure that you don't get lost or miss anything. With regular buses travelling to the site and nearby train stations Chester and Ellesmere Port, there's no excuse for not taking a little sojourn from the city and travelling here. I promise you, if you catch it on a good day your car boot or poor arms won't be big enough to carry all your goodies. Get involved.

St. John's Shopping Centre certainly isn't bad for a secondary shopping centre within a city,…read morelocated opposite Lime Street Station, serving Liverpool city centre, I can't help but notice the mall does appear a bit run down now, with many vacant empty units, which have moved across to Liverpool One or closed down completely. Stores located here include Aldi, Argos, JD Sports and Wilko. There are also a couple of smaller stores, pound shops and Supercuts. For food and beverages, there is a small food court area including Dunkin Donuts, Subway and McDonald's. It's pretty easy to get around the mall, as it never seems to be too busy and there is a lot of open space, obviously, the reduced number of stores makes somewhere I'd say to only visit if you're looking to visit a specific store, or if you have some time to kill ahead of getting a train from the station across the way, or even if you're shielding from the cold/rain with the larger Liverpool One being mostly outdoors. 3*

It has a 420 seat food court on the lower mall with a wide choice of food retailers including KFC, McDonald's and Subway. Customer toilets and baby changing are located next to the book clearance store, near the food court. The mall itself is situated opposite Lime Street station and adjacent to Central station and Queen Square station, therefore there's no way you can miss it! If you're going in to town, it's almost inevitable that you're going to walk past or go through this mall so make sure you check it out as there's cheap, mid-range and expensive stores to discover.

However, whereas Grand Central has settled in like a divorcee on your sofa, Gostins has suffered from both being slightly out of the way and the temporary feel of its accommodation.

What a great little smattering of shops including collectables and antiques, handmade jewellery, home-made cakes, Wicca and goth, used books, and so much more. Probably my favourite shop in here is Collage which offers a really delightful selection of antiques and collectables at great prices. I also really like Mookow Army and Bluecoat Books. Some of the shops are not open during all regular business hours so you may find a few closed when you pop in but keep coming back to visit the various ones you missed before. I know that's my plan!

I'm not sure whether a delivery servce is available as lots of the items are quite large and bulky I should think there would be.

When walking through the arcade, you'll pass by many classy shops which you probably won't go into unless you're prepared to spend a fair amount. There are a couple decent cafes, such a milkshake bar and Caffe Nero if you're just looking for a drink. By inspection, all areas of the arcade are well looked after and has good security with CCTV installed. I find Keys Court a relaxing place to walk through as it is always less congested than main streets. This definitely one of my favourite parts of town.

This place has more upmarket shops than places such as St.Johns and is generally the kind of place people tend to visit when they are in the mood to spend a bit of hard earned cash. The place is always kept clean and tidy and there is often a visible security presence meaning that you can have the confidence to shop without concern as you are made to feel very safe and relaxed. The aesthetics here are good and it is another reason that natives of Liverpool have to be proud of their city centre which in general is kept in immaculate condition by a hard working team and an excellent council.

What I like most about this shopping centre is that there even some independent small businesses here. It's not ALL Sayers, the O2 Shop, Home Bargains, et al. Another neat thing about this particular shopping centre is the exceptionally large amount of charity shops you will find here. If you love bargain hunting, second hand book browsing, and vintage/rescued clothing, you'll have a blast perusing the wares in the many different charity shops here. I find it difficult to drag myself away. Of course if you do prefer the chain stores, and the big names, you will find some of them here, as well as in the Pyramid Shopping Centre just next door.

Its all under cover so the potential bad English weather won't be a factor. According to their web site, there are 135 stores inside. I went recently a few days before Christmas and it wasn't too busy - nothing like shopping centres like Arndale Centre or Trafford Centre (actually never normally go to Trafford Centre but especially near Christmas but I think I can safely say its crazy busy!) Didn't stay too long but went to Boots and also went to Debenhams for some food - which was actually pretty good. There is multi storey car parking but unfortunately it is not free. For under an hour, its £1. It goes up to £5.50 if you are more than 4 hours. Between 2-4 hours is £2.20 which is not too bad I guess.

As you can see from my pictures the low price doesn't mean a scrimp on quality, and you can find everything from beds to sofas, chests of drawers to mirrors and a great deal more, including some very snazzy wall prints.

The staff are really friendly and there's even a fridge where you can buy cold drinks if trudging around the store has taken it out of you. Brilliant stuff!
