Reports over recent months have suggested the UK high street has already died a painful death. Retails giants like BHS and Woolworths have already succumbed to the surge of online shoppers, and independent coffee shops struggle to survive amidst the cost of living crisis.

But Queen Street in Cardiff, Wales, has proven otherwise, and was recently crowned the UK's best high street by American Express. It comes after the banking giant surveyed 2,000 people to find out exactlty what shoppers were looking for during their day of retail therapy. Most (67 per cent) of respondents favoured a mix of retailers, while good parking (62 per cent), independent pubs and restaurants (52 per cent) and entertainment options like cinemas and theatres (36 per cent) where all listed as important factors.
