Shopping in Bath
Bath’s show-stopping retail scene, set against a backdrop of Georgian grandeur, has made the city one of the most stylish shopping destinations for 300 years, with a compact city centre brimming with independent stores and high street brands.
SouthGate Bath is a popular modern shopping area in Bath with a wide range of high street shops and designer brands, as well as restaurants and cafes. Located next to the city's railway and bus stations, this bustling area is also within easy reach of Bath's top attractions and historic sites.
A short walk from SouthGate is the West Bath Shopping Area, which centres on Green Park Station. Once the city's main railway station, the buiding today houses a range of covered markets, selling the finest local food, drink, art and more.
The central streets of Bath are packed with a variety of well-known brands. Stall Street, Union Street and Milsom Street provide a lively route of shops through the centre of the city, spilling over onto characterful alleyways including The Corridor, Union Passage, Northumberland Place, and more.
On and around Milsom Street, you'll find a wide range of luxurious and unique high-street and independent brands, as well as the trendy Milsom Place shopping centre.
Just north of Milsom Street, Bartlett Street and Edgar Mews house a cluster of independent retailers. Nestled between The Circus and Royal Crescent, you'll also find Margaret's Buildings, a pretty pedestrianised street flanked by galleries, antique shops and individual boutique shops.
The Walcot Road and London Road areas to the east of the city centre have affectionately been known as Bath’s Artisan Quarter since the 1960s. Both streets are home to a collection of boutique shops specialising in everything from vintage clothing to quirky artwork and more.
