Lonely Planet review for Shambles

The quaintly cobbled Shambles, complete with overhanging Tudor buildings, hints at what a medieval street might have looked like if it was overrun with people told they have to buy something silly and superfluous and be back on the tour bus in 15 minutes. It takes its name from the Saxon word shamel, meaning 'slaughterhouse'.
