Monument Mall is a shopping centre in central Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Formerly owned by St Martins Property Group, it was acquired by the retail property company Hammerson for £28m in March 2011.
The Mall opened in 1990 adjacent to the Monument station on the Tyne and Wear Metro. It is also directly in front of Grey's Monument and Grey Street, and has an entrance on Northumberland Street.
Open seven days a week, Monument Mall has three floors of stores and is home to a variety of national and independent retailers offering a large range of products. These stores include TK Maxx, Newcastle United Official Club Store, Imag-e-nation, and Sports World. The Mall also has entrances to Fenwick and Peacocks (formerly Virgin Megastores), both of which were in existence prior to the construction of the mall.
There are shops on the lower ground floor TK Maxx, Toni & Guy and Imag-e-nation. Ground Floor tenants include Newcastle United, Art, Millie's Cookies and Evans, while Sports Direct occupies the entire first floor. The whole of the top floor is given over to the Food Court which has now closed. Small independent stalls featuring jewellery and other accessories can be found near the escalators at ground floor level.
The Mall opens from 8am-6pm every day except Sunday. On Sunday trading laws restrict opening times to 11am-5pm.

Famous quotes containing the words monument and/or mall:
“Their monument sticks like a fishbone
in the city’s throat.
Its Colonel is as lean
as a compass-needle.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
