Beautiful and picturesque Lord Street, with its tree-lined boulevard, beautiful architecture and stunning water features is claimed to have inspired Napoleon III into changing much of Paris into the tree lined boulevards we see today.

 

If a shopping extravaganza is what you are looking for then Lord Street is the place to find it. Stretching for 1 mile, Lord Street is the main shopping area in Southport boasting countless shops, boutiques, restaurants, cafe’s, bars, books shops and much, much more.

 

As you meander along the tree lined street, marvel at the stunning architecture and surrounding monuments and water features. Take a rest in the beautiful gardens as you continue on your shopping journey.

 

Visit Wayfarers Shopping Arcade opened in 1898, an attractive reminder of times gone by. The Royal Arcade is also located on Lord Street and although smaller, don’t let this Aladdin’s Cave deceive you. Inside you will find a wealth of items and gifts from cowboy boots to fine antiques.

 

Keep your eyes open along the way for hidden treasures tucked away in the little side alleys and visit the Continental Street Market with its colourful stalls, street food and delights from all over Europe.

 

Just minutes away is busy Chapel Street with many well recognised high street shops as well as an indoor arcade and is close to both the Indoor Market and Eastbank Street. Visit our beautiful and picturesque villages at Birkdale Village, Churchtown Village, Ainsdale Village and Formby Village where you will find many specialist shops offering everything from fashion to antiques, books to bric-a-brac.
