Milsom Street

About

Historic street in Bath that is lined with charming shops and restaurants. Milsom Street in Bath, Somerset, England was built in 1762 by Thomas Lightholder. The buildings were originally grand town houses, but most are now used as shops, offices and banks. Most have three storeys with mansard roofs and Corinthian columns. Numbers 2 to 22 are grade II listed. The bank at number 24 was built by Wilson and Willcox and includes baroque detail not seen on the other buildings. This shopping area right in the centre of Bath is a great place to find top fashion designers, department stores and quirky retailers. At the heart of Milsom Street is Milsom Place, a lively courtyard perfect for both shopping and socialising. Here you’ll find an array of one-off designer shops and high-street flagship stores including Hobbs and Cath Kidston, plenty of pop-up ventures, and a selection of cafes and restaurants.
