We have had the fabulous Victoria Square in Belfast for a couple of years now and it really is superior to anything else the city has ever had before. Sorry Belfast Chamber of Commerce, but it's true. Vic Square is a marvellously upmarket shopping complex, with restaurants and a cinema on the top 2 floors. Let's start with House of Fraser which was new to Belfast. Just going up the escalator from the car park fills me with joy and excitement before I have evens even the handbags, shoes, clothes and make up. I always say that HOF has everything you need for a top day out. Shopping, and a bar and restaurant. Wonderful. It's true that HOF isn't a cheap place to shop, but if you want bargains, go to Primark (and I'm not knocking it as I'm a regular Primark shopper). HOF has labels like St Martins, Kookai, Ted Baker, Carvela, See by Chloe and Mulberry. Getting the picture? It should be a picture of all things fabulous. The rest of Victoria Square is filled with higher end high street stores like Coast, Hollister, Ted Baker, LK Bennett and of course Cruise, home to Gucci, Louboutins, Jimmy Choos and all my other heros. Having said that, there are also branches of H&M and River Island which have better ranges than the other branches in Belfast as I think these are their flagship branches. Upstairs are plenty of restaurants and the very impressive Odeon cinema so you could in theory spend the whole day there. The whole complex is bright and airy, all modern lines and glass. There is a huge glass dome at the top which you can go right up into to see stunning views right across the city. read more
