Northumberland Street is a major shopping street in the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, North East England. In terms of the cost of rent per square metre, it is the most expensive location in the UK outside of London to own a shop.

The street runs from the Haymarket and Civic Centre in the north, towards theMonument at the south. It encompasses the entrance to the Eldon Square andMonument Mall shopping centres. It is home to a number of retailers, cafes and banks including:Northumberland Street Newcastle is a busy shopping street where you will find all the familiar names like Marks & Spencer, WH Smith, Dixons, Argos, HMV, JJB Sports, Primark etc. but you will also find some local favourites too like Greggs and the large white store on the left is Fenwicks department store which I always thought was only found in Newcastle but there are actually 8 stores around the UK.
Northumberland Street is Newcastle's main shopping street. Its popularity has led to it being dubbed the "Oxford Street of the North" and it's easy to see why. It's the home of many famous names and department stores. These include the flagship of the provincial Marks and Spencer stores, Fenwick, BHS, Next, HMV, and many, many more. Some of these also have direct access to Eldon Square.
