Lion Yard Shopping Centre

The Lion Yard Shopping Centre is a major retail space that’s been serving Cambridge’s shoppers since the early 70s. For many years, a central feature of the atrium was a large white pillar with the statue of a large red lion on the top of it, safely out of easy reach which recalled the Red Lion pub which had occupied the site until demolished in 1969. The Lion Yard was significantly refurbished in the late early 2000s and an undercover mall, the Grand Arcade, now adjoins Lion Yard on its south side; the two are interconnected. While most of the centre’s shops can be found on the ground floor, the Central Library can be accessed from the first floor of Lion Yard along with retailers Ellis Brigham, The North Face and New Look. The centre consists of a three storey office block, an undercover external colonnade taking up half of Petty Cury, external boutique shops opposite St Andrew The Great Church and many great high street retailers internally, along with housing the seventh busiest library in the UK. Although it is the smallest and oldest of the three shopping centres, continual investment in the scheme has ensured that the centre continues to draw in the crowds. With over 40 stores to choose from, you are always only a few steps away from that perfect purchase. The shopping centre is laid out across two spacious floors, housed underneath a beautiful glass roof. For those who enjoy the hustle and bustle of the high street, the row of shops on Petty Cury has an abundance of fashion and eateries to cater for the shopper on the go. Inside the Lion Yard, the ground floor and first floor boast an array of high street names plus chic and unique independent stores giving shoppers the variety to satisfy their needs.
