Drake Circus is a large covered shopping centre in the middle of Plymouth, Devon. It opened in October 2006. The new building was designed by London-based architects Chapman Taylor and built by Bovis Lend Lease. It is situated behind the ruined Charles Church which was preserved as the city's civilian war memorial. It has provoked a mixed reception with the local people in Plymouth. Just after it opened, the shopping centre won the 'Carbuncle Cup for crimes against architecture' for being the worst new building in the UK. However in 2007 it won two retail industry national awards, one of which was the Retail Week magazine's "Shopping Location of the Year".
