It has a range of shops and restaurants, and is home to one of Singapore's most renowned restaurants, Les Amis. Shaw Centre has an al fresco McDonald's restaurant located on the ground floor, along the sidewalk facing Scotts Road.
The old Lido Cinema and Shaw Centre were designed by architect Gordon Dowsett of Van Sitteren & Partners.
