The Lower Precinct was opened in 1958 as part of the wholesale redevelopment of Coventry's city centre following wartime devastation. The glass roof, however, is a much more recent addition. It claims to feature 25% of Coventry's shopping outlets. The circular café was originally called the Lady Godiva Café but is now part of the Caffè Nero chain.
