Landmark Retail & Leisure Opportunities at Drake Circus & The Barcode, PlymouthDrake Circus, Plymouth, Devon, PL1 1EA
Drake Circus and The Barcode together form one of the most dynamic and comprehensive retail and leisure destinations in the South West of England. Strategically located in the heart of Plymouth—the largest city in Devon and Cornwall—this award-winning development encompasses over 560,000 square feet and consistently outperforms regional benchmarks in footfall, dwell time, and spend per visitor.
Anchored by major retail names including Apple, H&M, Marks & Spencer, NEXT, Waterstones, and a host of recently added brands such as Mango, Rituals, Levi’s, Seasalt and Oliver Bonas, the centre offers over 80 high-performing retail stores and a growing selection of lifestyle-led occupiers. It benefits from an affluent and engaged catchment, with 37% of visitors aged 25–44 and 68% average retail conversion spend.
The Barcode, its leisure-led extension, features 17 bars, cafes and restaurants, attracting strong day-to-evening footfall. Popular food and beverage brands include Brewdog, Zizzi, Franco Manca, Kaspa’s, Slim Chickens, YO! Sushi, and The Cosy Club—many of which report trading above expectations. Drake Circus is also home to a 12-screen Cineworld cinema, Paradise Island Adventure Golf, Boom Battle Bar, and the newly opened Spinners, which offers bowling, darts, cocktails and shared dining in a social setting.
With an average retail spend of £64 and catering spend of £17 per visit, and a dwell time of 123 minutes, Drake Circus continues to attract a highly engaged consumer base. It is easily accessible, located just a 10-minute walk from Plymouth train station and supported by over 2,000 parking spaces, including electric charging points and dedicated family and accessible bays.
The scheme is further enhanced by major public realm works on New George Street and Old Town Street, which are transforming the pedestrian experience and improving connectivity. Year-round programming of cultural and community events, charity partnerships and vibrant placemaking installations add to the centre’s appeal as a place to shop, eat, relax and engage.
Multiple units are currently available across the scheme, offering a diverse range of sizes and positions suitable for national chains, independent operators, and emerging concepts seeking to trade in a proven, high-footfall environment.
