St John's Shopping Centre is the largest covered shopping centre in the city of Liverpool, located in the heart of the city since 1969 and boasting over 100 retailers. The precinct is also home to St John's Market which has a history dating back to 1822, although the current market was opened to the public by the Queen in April 1971.[3]
Considerations are underway by Liverpool City Council in relation to a possible relocation of the shopping market as part of a larger redevelopment proposal for the centre. Land Securities, the owner of the shopping centre, is aiming to start the refurbishment in early 2009 with the market moving in 2010 if the proposals go ahead.[4][1]
