    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*

    St. John's Shopping centre is a bit of a legend serving over 100 shops in the heart of the city…read more Whatever your taste, there's a huge variety to suit everybody. 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.

    I don't know whether you could class this place as a shopping centre because it certainly isn't…read moremuch of one. With Central train station combined within the centre, it does feel a bit odd but there are a few shops such as a newsagents, cake shop and Thorntons - most of which you will tend to just pass by, either if your getting off a train or simply using the centre as a passageway to Bold Street or vice versa. The only couple of useful shops I find here are CeX and Sainsbury's Local (which I would only go to if I'm desperate). There is nothing special about this area; I treat it just as a mere shortcut.

    Yes, it is drab, dismal and so outdated it looks more like a 1970s hospital in the passageway…read moreleading from Ranelagh Street into the station, but the selection of shops there actually rivals those available at Lime Street Station. Immediately you will see a stall selling newspapers and magazines. There is also a Thornton's on the right hand corner of the entrance, where you can sit in or take away. You will also find a newsagent, Superdrug and a branch of Sainsburys which is small but has everything you'll need, from yet more newspapers and magazines through fresh bakery and fruit/veg, meat, sandwiches and pasta sauces to pinpoint just a few items. Expensive wines/champagne/spirits are kept behind the counter, so you may have to queue just to see whether or not they stock Jack Daniels or whatver your tipple of choice is. The station itself has a spacious concourse and easy access onto the platforms; it's an easy process, even from the perspective of a tourist (I used to come here as a tourist before moving to the city).

    Walking through St. Johns Market makes me feel like going back in time to the days when I was a lot…read moreyounger, especially when I used to shop here regularly with my Mum. Within the market, you'll still find little cafes which are always filled with a few old folks and of course the fishmongers and butchers where you can buy all sorts of meat including pig's head and trotters! Nothing strange about that - they taste just like pig! There is also the pick 'n' mix section of nuts which often reminds me of bird feed when you see the abundance of seeds, nuts and other forms of wholefoods - very healthy indeed and reasonable. Now, there are several phone repair shops within the market which always seem a little dodgy if you're looking to leave your phone with them to get unlocked for instance. A friend of mine was given a replacement phone which was apparently of better value than his phone which the staff "lost". Of course, it was not and my friend had to settle for a phone whose battery later found to be depleted. Quite an appalling service when you think about the trust involved. Anyway, apart from that, St. Johns Market still goes down well with normal shoppers who are looking for a basket full of vegetables, a quick watch fix or a visit to the barbers. I once bought a rucksack for just £10 from one of the stalls which has lasted me for years, so it is always worth a browse depending on what you're looking for.

    First opened in 1822, this is a market with a lot of history. According to the Liverpool City…read moreCoucnil, St Johns Market is "the first covered general food market in Great Britain." You will find the current market stalls upstairs in St John's Shopping Centre. The wide variety of stalls offer everything from inexpensive shoes and clothing to craft and sewing supplies, from fresh fruit and vegetables to fresh meat and fish. I will warn you, though, you may need to hold your nose that meat is so fresh. Unfortunately for me, my favourite craft stall is located adjacent to a butcher's stall. Speaking of the craft stall, if you are a crafter you need to check this out. You will find things here that you won't find in Abakhan or Hobby Craft, and what you do find in those stores you will generally find cheaper in this market stall. My favourite thing they carry is an obsessively wide variety of wool felt squares. Wandering around market stalls is so much fun, and as there are cafes inside the market as well, you won't need to leave the building to get lunch. The food is cheap, though, so if you have fancy taste buds you probably won't find something you can stomach. Many of the stalls are family run, and have been in business for several generations, so shopping here is a great way to support local businesses and improve the economy. The people running the stalls are generally polite and engaging.

    It's amazing how things change so quickly. Now that Liverpool1 seems to be devouring every shop…read moreand business in its wake like a black hole, the quality of shops in Clayton Square has also rapidly declined. I remember when it opened and there was a buzz aound the city for the new shopping experience to rival the even then slightly grotty and down market St John's Precinct. How the mighty have fallen. With each passing month there seems to be less reason to shop at CS and it is starting to resemble those malls found in satellite towns like Wigan or Bootle Strand! It is, however, a very bright and open shopping centre and I'm sure anyone with a bit of nous could use it for totally different purposes. Despite the empty shops there is a nice coffee shop with plenty of rows of computers for internet access up underneath the big glass ceiling.

There seem to be too many of these places within Liverpool and to be perfectly frank these places are substandard and not really in keeping with this superb city. Liverpool can be a great shopping experience, well that is if you avoid places such as this which really do not fit in with Liverpool's chic image. There are various stores within Clayton square but all of them are fairly poor and there are not really many people who would spend their whole day shopping here. The place doesn't look bad and is well kept and well staffed in general but it is just not really a great place to be in. It seems as though there is much potential here but unfortunately it is just not being fulfilled.

Having lived near this shop for six months, I must say it's a bit of a lifesaver! It's basically a mini supermarket that stocks a wide range of groceries as well as a few international bits and bobs as this is a cosmopolitan part of town! The service is great and you get the feeling the guy behind the counter has had quite a life, as the walls are emblazoned with pictures of him with all sorts of American celebrities. Make sure you check the quality and the sell by date of fresh stuff here as I've bought stale bread without realising before. After taking it back they apologised and gave me a fresh loaf! One of the perks of this shop for students is that they sell individual toilet rolls! Perfect for a quick wipe!

    This used to be my local haunt when I was at university. Obviously, 'haunt' is the wrong word…read morethere. It's not like I'd hang around the place for hours on end, grinning at the vendors until they asked me to leave. It's just a food shop. Selling all kinds of produce at low prices, part of the appeal of this store is the way the range is so rough and ready. Most of the time it feels like some shabby covered market somewhere, or like the owners are just squatters who dragged in a load of stuff they're trying to flog off to the public. I hope there's no truth in that.
