The city has however dropped out of the top 10 luxury centres after being knocked out by Edinburgh.

The RetailVision Report for 2013 uses data from over 17,000 retail centres across the UK – including town centres, shopping centres and retail parks to provide a detailed picture of the UK’s retail landscape.
This year the report shows major retail centres have further cemented their regional dominance, putting more pressure on the surrounding smaller towns and local shopping centres across the UK, where revenues have started to see some decline.
Chris Duley, Director at Callcredit’s GMAP Retail Planning team said: “Our latest retail reports highlights the opportunities and challenges faced by retail centres up and down the UK. Successful national and international retailers are continuing to extend their store footprint but the wider retail environment needs to be right to attract shoppers. The big centres can offer this; the question is can the smaller centres offer this too?”
