Shopping
Bath has always been famous for its shopping, due to
its enticing combination of well known labels and brands with
local crafts, independent retailers and ingenious new ideas.
Together with the many cafes and bars in which to give feet
and credit cards a break, and surrounded by the beautiful architecture
and green hills, a spree in Bath is sure to make the pain of
the bills easier to bear. Try Image, Annabel Harrison, and Square
for designer clothes, Shoon, Orvis and Itchy Feet for outdoor
clothes and travel accessories.
For the more traditional, we have excellent branches of Habitat,
Laura Ashley and Russell & Bromley, and Bath has one of
only two retail outlets for household mail order emporium The
White Company.

Jolly's is our longest
established department store, a jewel in the House of Fraser
chain, and a large branch of Waterstone's hosts readings, children's
events and has an excellent coffee shop.
Those who want to put a romantic seal on their visit will be
sure to visit Mallory's, Nicholas Wylde, or any one of a host
of clever independent jewellers. And for something out of the
ordinary, spend some time browsing in Bloomsbury for art deco
and unusual gifts, or Tumi for a taste of South America.
Bohemians will love a stroll up Walcot Street, and antique hunters
can't miss Bartlett Street Market. When it all gets too much,
the Queensberry is so central, you can just pop back to drop
off all those bags, put your feet up and have a cup of tea in
the sitting room, before heading out again .... |
