Northumberland Street

Northumberland Street is a street full of shops, in the heart of Newcastle, and Haymarket neighborhood far in the north to the Monument Metro Station and south Grey column. It's the most expensive street in the country to open a store outside London! Among the shops you'll find Marks & Spencers, Zawi, formerly Virgin Megastore but changed its name, there is an H&M, and the 1st Fenwick (a store similar to El Corte Ingles). Now the street is pedestrianized, until 1999 there was traffic on the northern stretch, but it was closed and renovated as the street looked a bit old. It's a nice place, it's a shame there are not more fast food restaurants.
