Victoria Street

Fodor's Review:

Victoria Street, which cuts diagonally across the city center's usual grid pattern out from Bealey Avenue, has a good mix of clothing and decor shops interspersed with cafés. Two standouts are Frogmore, for gifts such as beaded jewelry cases and candelabra, and Redcurrent, for table decorations and baskets. If you need a hat for a wedding or the horse races in November, the Hat Shop has a good range, even for men.
