Shopping

A paradise for shopping connoisseurs, Winchester boasts a tempting array of independent shops, boutiques and art galleries in scenic settings. The city's compact, pedestrian-friendly streets are a refreshing alternative to the large-scale malls found in other cities and its lively, bustling atmosphere, colourful markets and - according to the Saturday Times - 'better class of busker' make Winchester the perfect destination for a lazy day's wandering.

Winchester ensures visitors to the city centre enjoy a quality experience - it is the only city in Hampshire to have been accredited by the Home Office under the 'Safer Shopping' scheme.
