GO st. enoch centre in glasgow

If you’re looking for a truly glittery shopping experience then get yourself down to the St Enoch Centre [map], which is officially the largest all-glass building in Europe. Now one of Glasgow’s best-known landmarks, the shopping centre was officially opened in 1990 by the then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, although it began trading a year earlier.

The complex has more than 80 stores, mostly high street chains, such as Boots, Oasis, TK Maxx, and Burton, as well as popular department stores including BHS and Debenhams. St Enoch’s is also home to Scotland's biggest food court, with a huge range of eateries offering everything from jacket potatoes and sandwiches to noodles and exotic cuisines.

The centre has a wealth of facilities to make life easier including baby changing facilities, cash machines, disabled toilets with radar locks, an information desk and trained first aiders.

In addition the Kiddy Cabs help to make shopping with the whole family a little less stressful, while having an array of shops all under one roof makes it a great destination when its raining outside. Children are also catered for in the Jelly Club, a fantastic multi-level activity play centre for youngsters aged 12 or under, which is bound to keep them busy for hours.

With two entrance malls from Argyle Street and one from St Enoch Square, together with escalators via Debenhams and BHS, the centre is fully connected to Glasgow's premier shopping area.

And for art lovers there is a fantastic mosaic to honour St Enoch, the mother of St. Mungo, Glasgow's Patron Saint. It’s the first artwork from a project to re-introduce the individual symbols from Glasgow's coat of arms enabling a powerful celebration of the city’s heritage.
