Architectural gem, but I found the "shops" disappointing. Sign of the times?

The best Christmas decorations ever in the Village Shop, just go downstairs. What a find! Also a shout out to The Cat Boutique, lovely mofusan bag for a fiver! Not many shops, but worth a visit for unusual stuff.

The Clifton Arcade was built in 1878 by Joseph King as a grand Victorian shopping arcade. It failed almost immediately and spent over 100 years hidden and used as storage. Rediscovered and restored in the late 1980s, it reopened in 1992 as a Grade II listed home to independent boutiques and cafés.

Quaint arcade with great shops - art stuff from pictures to sculptures, coffe shop, brides’ dresses, a trendy barber who does kids too… and great architecture and natural lighting in a small space. In the heart of Clifton which is an oasis in the heart of Bristol!
