Opened in October 2006 Drake Circus is the West Country’s most popular shopping centre. Here, you’ll find many of the UK’s top brand names and the biggest stores in the region all under one roof. With over 60 shops.
Drake Circus is the result of a 200 million private investment by P&O Estates Limited, Morgan Stanley Bank and Kandahar. It is managed by DTZ which runs over 250 shopping centres throughout Europe.
Just after it opened, the shopping centre won the ‘Carbuncle Cup for crimes against architecture’ for being the worst new building in the UK. However in 2007 it won two retail industry national awards, one of which was the Retail Week magazine’s “Shopping Location of the Year”. Also in 2007, the centre’s management introduced a code of conduct which, like one the Bluewater centre controversially introduced in 2005, banned hooded tops and baseball caps.
