About Northampton - Northampton is a large market town in the East Midlands region in central England. Traditionally known for its shoemaking and other leather related industries, it has now developed into an important regional business centre for many of Britain’s top companies, due largely to its unbeatable geographical location.
Shopping - The pedestrian streets and shopping centres in the town are some of the best in the county, with hundreds of shops, including independent retailers and major high street names. The Grosvenor Centre has been the town's premier shopping centre for more than 25 years.

It boasts around 60 top quality shops and restaurants, in a trendy, climate-controlled environment and is open seven days a week.
Things to do - Northampton certainly offers the best choice of things to do in your spare time. The Museum and Art Gallery is worth a trip and houses a collection of artifacts from Northampton's past with particular homage to the shoe industry that caused the town to first boom. However, if Northampton could claim to have a tourist industry then it would be thanks to nearby Althorp, family home to the Spencer family and final resting place of Diana, Princess of Wales.
