Northumberland Street is a major shopping street in the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, in the North East of England. It is home to a wide range of different retailers, banks and cafes. As of 2004, Northumberland Street was the most expensive location in the UK outside London to own a shop, in terms of rental per square foot. However, by 2016, it had been overtaken by Manchester's Market Square, Leeds' Commercial Road, Edinburgh's Princes Street, and Glasgow's Buchanan Street. There are currently over 51 retailers including pubs on Newcastle's Northumberland Street.
