Cabot Circus
It's not difficult to see that Bristol has undergone an incredible transformation over recent years. As more shops, restaurants and businesses open, the city continues to grow and evolve into one of the UK's leading shopping and leisure destinations.
Bristol's transformation has taken a giant leap forward following the official unveiling of its latest development - Cabot Circus.
Having taken over three years to build and costing in excess of £500 million, Cabot Circus now provides city centre visitors with over 120 new shops, including 15 major flagship stores. Of these, Harvey Nichols and House of Fraser set the precedent, offering a combined area of well over 200,000 ft² of prime retail space with all of the top brands and labels .jpg)
that are usually associated with these famous chains.
The three-tiered shopping development also provides space for all of the popular names you might expect on the high street, including Zara, All Saints, Fat Face, Cult Clothing, Top Shop and many more. Follow the link below to see the full shop, store and restaurant listing.
