Shopping in Chester 

There is an abundance of places to shop near Chester corporate housing, and one of Chester’s most popular shopping areas is the Chester Rows, situated right in the centre of the city, which are half-timbered Tudor galleries which offer dual-level shopping /double-deck street built in the late 13th century. The rows are made up of four cobbled shopping streets Northgate, Eastgate, Westgate, and Bridge Street, and are connected by an intercross where the ‘Chester Cross’ is located. These four streets are filled with a range of high street and independent shops as well as many hidden gems to discover in the streets. Near to the Rows is Chester Market, the home to several independent stalls, from butchers to books and vinyls. If you’re looking for high street brands, then Grosvenor Shopping Centre is the best place to visit.
