SouthGate Bath

You'll find yourself on Southgate Street wandering through three storeys of shops that actually matter — the kind of places where Bath residents come to get things done rather than browse aimlessly. It's got the high street names you'd expect, but what makes it tick is the food and drink offering tucked throughout. The cinema's decent for catching something new, and there's enough here to justify a proper afternoon, whether you're picking up basics or treating yourself to something better than what you'd find on Milsom Street.
