About

Middlesbrough Central is the town's commercial and civic core. It contains the Cleveland Centre shopping mall, the indoor market, the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (mima) on Centre Square, the town hall and civic offices, and Middlesbrough railway station at the southern edge. A bus interchange sits close to the station, making the centre a transport hub for the borough. Teesside University buildings sit on the fringe of the central area, and several streets link retail zones to the riverfront and nearby neighbourhoods.

Streets such as Linthorpe Road and Corporation Road carry most of the pedestrian flow and house a mix of national chains and independent traders. Centre Square hosts regular markets and provides the main public entrance to mima, which stages rotating contemporary exhibitions and public programmes. Recent redevelopment has converted some industrial-era buildings into offices, studios and leisure spaces, while covered shopping arcades and the market hall remain active local trading points. The central area functions as the place for council business, shopping and daily transport connections.
