Derby Square and pedestrian streets

- Victoria Monument, Town Hall, Paradise Street, Castle St, Church Street, Peter's Lane, Waterstone's

Liverpool has lots of pedestrian streets in the heart of the city center, a mecca for the shopping lover. They are surprisingly modern, and features mostly modern buildings. This is much because of a partly outdoor shopping, residential and leisure complex called Liverpool 1, that opened in 2008 with 169 stores, and anchored by Debenhams (a department store building with coloured stripes) and John Lewis (a circular glass building). Waterstone's book store is also significant with its sharp angles. It also has a 14-screen Odeon cinema and a 36-hole golf centre. Paradise St, Church St, Castle St and Lord St are some of the most important shopping streets in the city centre. Here you find modern brand stores, shopping malls and resaurants. At the end of Lord St, Derby Square is situated. Here find the neo-baroque Queen Victoria Monument, featuring 26 bronze figures by CJ Allen. In the cente is a statue of Queen Victoria. Nearby, at the end of Castle Street, at High St, is the neo-classical Liverpool Town Hall with its dome. It was built in 1754 and rebuilt in 1802. The building has an outstanding interior, featuring one of the 3 finest Georgian chandeliers in Europe.
