A child on the escalators in Saint Stephen's Green Shopping Centre, Dublin.

Saint Stephen's Green Shopping Centre is one of the biggest in Dublin, and probably the biggest in the city centre. It was opened about 20 years ago on the site of the Dandelion Market, where U2 were reputed to play together for the first time. It's a large windowed structure, notable for its dome, and particularly for the huge clock which hangs from the ceiling inside.

Usually it's packed, but at 10am on a Saturday morning, the crowds have not yet filled it. At that time of the day it's easier to find things, easier to find parking.
