Before the Highcross was made, it used to be The Shires, I was fond of it then but then it was redone to be The Leicester Highcross and I just loved it when I first saw it. With the highlight being the massive John Lewis, the biggest in the UK apart from London's along with over 120 other shops there are some amazing buys out there.

Guaranteed to be a great shopping trip or day out, there are mostly clothes shops, accessory shops, cafes, resteraunts and more. There are lots of different levels, a great layout and really made Leicester as a whole much, much better. It is modernly decorated, so stylish. Many of the shops are rather expensive, the range including Topshop, John Lewis, Jane Norman, River Isand and G-Star. Most of the shops built into The Highcross were not in Leicester before so adding new shops to the city as a whole which is just great. I recommend going to see this and spending a great day shopping.
