Livingston town centre sits on the southern edge of the Almond Valley.
It is bounded by a ring road and has been purposely planned, distinguishing it from West Lothian's other town centres.
Howden Park is located immediately north of the town centre.

Livingston is the sub-regional centre serving West Lothian.
It features one of the largest indoor shopping and leisure complexes in Scotland, The centre (formerly Almondvale Shopping Centre) and the Livingston Designer Outlet (formerly McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Centre).

The centre was completed in its current guise on 16 October 2008.
The total development has around 155 shops and eating establishments.
The centre has a winter garden, an outdoor restaurant area, and several famous shopping names.

The designer outlet mall, Livingston Designer Outlet, contains a VUE multiplex cinema, a food court with many chain fast-food outlets, bars, restaurants and cafés, as well as around 100 popular outlet stores.

Livingston town centre has an abundance of car parking.
The south western edge of the town centre is dominated by retail parks.
These contain a number of well-known retailers such as Pets at Home, PC World & Currys as well as fast-food outlets including: KFC and Frankie & Benny's.

Until 2016, there was also a large B&Q in the south-west of the town centre, as well as a large Morrisons supermarket; which remains open.
The Homebase store closed in July 2010 and Argos moved to premises across the road.
The former Homebase and Argos stores were converted into a large Sainsbury's supermarket that opened in December 2010.
Also in the town centre, are discount supermarkets such as Aldi, and a Lidl which is located beside the Almondvale Stadium.

Livingston's town centre also contains a large number of offices.
Private sector offices are also concentrated at the eastern and western edges of the centre and along the Almondvale Boulevard.
Other facilities in the centre include: hotels, a swimming pool and local authority gym, restaurants, pubs and a club called EQHQ (formerly Club Earth).
Almondvale Football Stadium and West Lothian College are located at the north western edge of the town centre.

The Livingston Civic Centre was completed in June 2009 and officially opened by then-First Minister Alex Salmond on 25 November 2009.
The Civic Centre is located just north of The centre on the bank of the River Almond.
 It was home to the divisional headquarters of Lothian and Borders Police until the creation of Police Scotland in 2013, as well as the sheriff and justice of the peace, West Lothian Council, the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, the Scottish Children's Reporter Administration, Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service and the West Lothian Community Health and Care Partnership.

Neighbourhood Shopping Centres are located at strategic points around the town.
The first of these to be built was The Mall at Craigshill.
This was followed by the Carmondean Centre in Deans and groupings of shops in Ladywell and Murieston.

There was formerly a bus station located just outside the designer outlet centre, but was shut down some years ago due to being in a run-down state.
