City Centre Plymouth's original city centre was almost completely destroyed in the Second World War. It has been totally restored with a modern grid pattern of wide, mainly pedestrian streets, making shopping a pleasure. The whole shopping area has been attractively landscaped, the trees and flowing streams cooling the hottest summer day. Plymouth has a wealth of fascinating shops, both large and small, including all the big names. There are a wide variety of pubs, clubs and restaurants within the centre too. You can still see some places of historical interest amidst the modern buildings.
St. Andrew's Church was rebuilt after the Blitz, but still retains much of its ancient history, as do the nearby
Prysten House and
Merchant's House. There are outstanding centres for drama and music here including the
Theatre Royal and the
Athenaeum.
