City Center Shopping Walk (Self Guided), Bath

Bath has a long and well-deserved reputation as a superlative shopping destination, dating back to Georgian times. Fans of the author Jane Austen may recall that she mentions the fashionable Milsom Street in her posthumously published novel Persuasion. Milsom Street is no less fashionable now than it was in her time, with department stores and top fashion designers having a presence in the Milsom area. Find Milsom Place, an elegant shopping location among Georgian buildings, terraces and open courtyards. Here, you can visit independent shops specializing in shoes, fashion, jewelry and much more.

Many parts of the city center are pedestrianized, making shopping an easy and pleasurable experience. Most places are within easy walking distance of each other, and there are lots of independent stores as well as big name brands. Browse the more than 50 stores that make up the SouthGate shopping center. See many popular high street names here, including the British department store, Debenhams.

Stock up on casual clothes, smart outfits and accessories when you visit the shops on Stall Street and Union Street. Don't miss The Corridor, one of the world's earliest retail arcades. It first opened its doors in 1825 and was designed and built by local architect Henry Edmund Goodridge.
