The Trafford Centre is a large indoor shopping centre located in the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford in Greater Manchester, England. The planning process for The Trafford Centre was one of the longest and most expensive in British history. Ultimately the matter was decided by the House of Lords.
The Trafford Centre is a major sponsor of Salford City Reds rugby league club. Shortly after its opening, the centre provided the setting for Shopping City, a BBC2 daytime programme hosted by Lowri Turner and also provides the "catwalk" ending of the programme, How to Look Good Naked. It is one of the UK's largest shopping centres behind the likes of MetroCentre, Bluewater, Lakeside and Meadowhall.
