NewcastleGateshead is a great shopping destination with many of the main high street chains having a store either in Newcastle, in Gateshead or both. The cavernous Eldon Square shopping centre is in the heart of Newcastle city centre. Gateshead's enormous MetroCentre is the largest shopping and leisure centre in Europe.
Just south of Grey's Monument is Grainger Market selling everything from locally produced fruit and veg to CDs and books; it's worth visiting if only to marvel at the building that first opened in 1835 and is now a Grade I listed building. For something a little different, head out to Armstrong Bridge in Jesmond where each Sunday there's an art and craft market (there are also some great walks nearby).
