This seaside town has often been called the "Paris of the North" thanks to it's wide boulevards and interesting range of boutiques, markets and specialist independent shops. In terms of toy shops, Southport is particularly well covered.
Whilst Lord Street is home to the usual High Street names (such as Early Learning Centre and Gamestation) if you're looking for an altogether more interesting toy shopping experience we recommend you venture towards places like Tulketh Street and Wesley Street. Here, you will find some excellent Southport toy shops such as D&J Toys which sells all the latest character toys and games - and The Cherry Tree that specialises in more traditional toys and gifts.
