Browse the Victorian Shops
Bournemouth is blessed with not one, but three beautiful Victorian shopping arcades. Each features an ornate glass roof, allowing sun to pour in from the ceiling to illuminate mosaic floors, potted plants, and a variety of unique shops.

Boscombe’s Royal Arcade is packed with independent shops, and also hosts a vintage market on the first Saturday of every month. In the center of town, a couple of local jewelers take pride of place in the Gervis Arcade. Wideye is an awesome place to purchase toiletries and personal care products—most of them vegan and eco-conscious. Last—but certainly not least—is the Westbourne Arcade, which features some gorgeous boutiques, art shops, and a 19-seat cinema.
