The Exchange

The Exchange is a small shopping arcade in the centre of Nottingham. It has been there for 85 years and has glass domes in the ceiling which are a cool design and it’s a Grade II* listed building. Unfortunately, when I visited, it seemed really rundown and almost like it was closing down. Half of the shops in there were completely empty and of the few that were still there and open, they were very quiet. The atmosphere inside made it feel like it wasn’t being cleaned or taken care of at all and so I ended up leaving very quickly. There were automatic doors at the entrances and the shops all had level access to get into them. But it wasn’t a nice experience because of the state of the venue.
