Birkenhead is the bustling hub for Wirral's retail sector and has been significantly upgraded as a result of major regeneration schemes. First class retail facilities include the Grange and Pyramids shopping centres, while Liscard in nearby Wallasey features the Cherry Tree precinct. All are showpiece shopping areas offering a mix of major national stores and local outlets.

There are also a number of smaller retail centres, with quirkily independent shops, in smaller towns such as Upton, Prenton, New Ferry, Moreton, Hoylake, West Kirby, Bebington, Greasby, Heswall and Bromborough. In addition, the peninsula offers out-of-centre shopping areas such as Croft Retail Park in Bromborough, and the nearby Cheshire Oaks designer outlet village.

The pensinsula is 15 minutes drive from both Liverpool and Chester, making it a popular, semi-rural living environment for professionals. New waterside residential developments coupled with a thriving restaurant and café bar sector in Hoylake, West Kirby and Heswall, make it an outstanding lifestyle option.

After a commercial property boom of unprecedented proportions, Liverpool can boast a stunning spectrum of ambitious shopping facilities, as well as clubs, cafes and restaurants with a truly cosmopolitan feel.

Among Liverpool’s biggest regeneration projects is the £160m Central Village scheme which will transform derelict land next to the city’s Central station into a 600,000 sq ft shopping, residential and leisure development.  The latest 'must have' address is at One Park West, within the £920 million Liverpool One Grosvenor Project.
