ShareDiscover easy and interesting shopping in Colchester; with its great mix of big name stores and specialist shops, you’ll be spoilt for choice.
Lion Walk and Culver Square shopping centres have all the big brands and a style of their own. Both are linked by the town’s emerging ‘Lanes-style’ shopping project ‘The Shops on the Walls’. You can find those special gifts and treats by browsing along lanes of small specialist shops set along the spine of the town along the route of the Roman wall (some even have the Wall in their basements).
Take a short walk just outside the walls, and the treats continue with Crouch Street offering speciality delicatessens - go on, you know you’re worth it!
