The Artful Guide to Shopping in Sheffield
Meadowhall
Meadowhall
is one of those places that divides opinion. People either love it or
hate it. Either way, it has an awesome collection of shops all under
one roof. Virtually every brand you could ever want is available here.
Easily reached from the city centre via a yellow route tram, Meadowhall
is well worth visiting if you’re in the mood for an all-out
shop-till-you-drop experience. Students may be especially interested
in the branch of H&M, always good for cheap, fashionable bargains!

Devonshire Quarter
Situated
parallel to West Street, the Devonshire Quarter plays natural home to
Sheffield’s ultra-trendy. Frequented by young, hip, fashion-conscious
professionals, Devonshire Street has an impressive array of shops
including Ark, Freshman’s Boutique, G-Star and Garage. The impressive
West One complex provides luxury, modern city living and also houses
several shops and restaurants. At night, the area is a trendier (and
more expensive) version of West Street, with bars such as The Forum and
the Common Room open late into the night.
Eccleshall Road
In
a way, Eccleshall Road is similar to the Devonshire Quarter. It has a
laid-back, cosmopolitan feel, completed by its leafy appearance and
café’s, which in summer have outdoor tables. Popular with students of
both universities, Eccleshall road has pretty much everything anyone
could ever need within a small area, from fashionable shops such as
Fatface to the obligatory Tesco’s, Pizza Hut and Blockbuster video.
Shopping aside, ‘Eccy road’ is especially good for those seeking a good
meal or a refreshing beverage. In particular, Yankees serves good,
greasy all-American food, whilst sports fans may want to head down to
Champs for beer and football in the Steel City’s best sports bar.
The City Centre
The
city centre is where Sheffield’s big brand stores can be found. From
John Lewis to Next, River Island, HMV and Virgin, many of the large
national chains have outlets here. Bargain hunters will be pleaded to
find a large Primark, whilst those seeking a more cultural experience
should spend an afternoon or two visiting the Cathedral, the Winter
Gardens, The Millennium Galleries and the Peace Gardens. The city
centre also regularly hosts market stalls, selling everything from
local farm produce to European delicacies.
The Moor
Heading
away from the city centre at the bottom of Pinstone Street, The Moor is
a cheap and cheerful alternative high street. Perfect for those on a
tight budget, The Moor has two pounds stores and a range of other great
value outlets. Whilst it may lack the charm of other areas of the city,
it certainly is the cheapest place to find many household items in
Sheffield!
London Road / Abbeydale Road
On
the lookout for some weird and wonderful furniture to put the finishing
touches to your new home? Check out London’s road antique stores for
some unique purchases. This area has a large Tesco and Sainsburys, and
is renowned in Sheffield as the best place to find a range of foreign
restaurants including Vietnamese, Singaporean and Italian.
