About

Central Blackpool is the town's primary commercial and entertainment core, centred on the Promenade between the North and Central Piers. This area is dominated by the Blackpool Tower, a historic landmark containing a circus, ballroom, and observation deck. The adjacent Winter Gardens complex hosts conferences and live theatre. The Promenade itself is a wide, paved thoroughfare lined with arcades, large souvenir shops, and tram tracks, leading directly to the sandy beach.

The area's layout is defined by its grid of streets running inland from the seafront, such as Church Street and the pedestrianised Houndshill shopping centre. A notable feature is the illuminated tram fleet that travels along the waterfront, especially prominent during the annual autumn illuminations. This central zone functions as the main hub for visitor accommodation, with numerous hotels and guesthouses located on the streets behind the primary seafront attractions.
