Money and Shopping in Bath
Alongside the many high street names like Next and Marks & Spencer, Bath has a number of smaller independent shops. Some excellent boutique shopping can be found in the upper part of the city, notable for its art and antique showrooms although these are sadly disappearing. Head up Milsom Street to George Street and beyond. Bath has one of the highest percentages of independent shops in any British high-street. Walcot street near the top of town has almost exclusively independent stores, but often the less established shops have to close within months of opening due to combining factors of high rent prices and just lack of demand of product.
In 2008 the shabby 1970s shopping complex at the bottom end of town was demolished. In 2010 the new Southgate Shopping Centre opened, constructed in a mock Georgian style and featuring a selection of mid-to-upper range clothing chains. It is almost the first building you will see upon leaving the railway station, but the shopping centre offers little for the tourist.
Scarlet Vintage, 5 Queen Street (off Milsom St,next to The Raven), ☎ 01225 338677, . 1030-1730. Great vintage clothing store selling a selection of vintage clothing, handbags, scarves etc. Also some designer resale pieces from more recent years. �
