Best shopping in Bournemouth

Love to shop? Bournemouth won’t let you down. Most of the town centre is pedestrianised, so getting around is easy. As well as popular high-street brands (Check out Castlepoint, the UK's largest shopping park) as well as countless independent retailers dotted throughout the town. You’ll find loads of quirky independent retailers dotted around too.

If you love vintage clothing, forget Etsy or eBay. A visit to This Is Vintage in Southbourne is a must. Here, you’ll find loads of authentic items, including bags, shoes, accessories, and clothing, all in near-perfect condition.

A short stroll from the city centre is the upmarket Westbourne shopping district. Here you can browse a wide range of boutiques and independent eateries.

Want to head out of town? Boscombe is just two miles from the city centre and has loads of indie shops and cafes to explore, not to mention Boscombe Pier – a must-see for anyone new to town.
