At weekends, this four-floor alternative shopping institution crawls with disaffected teens - for a leisurely browse, go midweek. You'll find new designers, clubwear, vintage, fancy dress, records, homewares, cute and kitsch gifts, posters and a vast range of black T-shirts. The building used to be Affleck & Brown's - the city's premier department store - and with careful purchasing, you can still emerge with gorgeous items at suitably teenage prices.
