Royal connects up with the Morgan Arcade via a series of covered lanes, forming a ritzy
shopping precinct called the Morgan Quarter. Along with name-brand fashion, there are
shops selling skateboards, vintage books and antiques. Look out for Spillers Records, the
excellent Wally's Delicatessen and Liam Gallagher's pricy menswear boutique, Pretty
Green.

large range of CDs and vinyl, and prides itself on catering to the non-mainstream end of
