Nottingham has two large shopping centres, the Broadmarsh Centre and the Victoria Centre, situated at opposite ends of the city centre .The Victoria Centre is the bigger of the two, containing 120 shops (not counting all the various stalls in the market area.)

If you don't drive, don't worry - almost all the Nottingham City Transport buses stop either directly outside the Victoria Centre, or within a few minutes walk of it .

Nottingham has a bad reputation, its nickname being 'Shottingham' after all. Its just like any city in terms of crime really though, and I definately feel safer here than in London (which is my home, I'm just at Uni here). I don't think it deserves its bad reputation.
Nottingham is a decent shopping centre, having most big chain stores and a number of boutiques and more retro shops. There are two big shopping centres - the Victoria Centre, and Broadmarsh (which also is home to to main bus station). Broadmarsh is one of the ugliest shopping centres in existance, and the Victoria Centre contains the better shops really anyway (including Topman, Debenhams etc).
Nottinghams central square is Market Square. Throughout the year its used for different things including to house a German christmas market, a giant wheel, a stage with live ...
