York city centre was listed in 19th place in the best 25 retail areas according to Newmark Retails Vitality Rankings 2024.
However, the city has dropped down one place from 18th compared to the 2022 rankings.
Yet this is a huge climb since being listed in 47th place in 2019 – an improvement of 28 rankings in total.
Elsewhere, Harrogate featured in 17th position in the 2024 data, sitting slightly above York but this is a drop of two rankings since 2022.
This is still a bit of a jump from 22nd place in 2019 – a total of five rankings.
Both York and Harrogate beat other shopping hotspots such as Bluewater and Bath city centre.
