Wapping Wharf and Harbourside

Wapping Wharf and Bristol Harbourside are home to an eclectic mix of independent shops. You are sure to find something you love here.

From a florist to an ethical clothes shop and from a jewellers to a gift and homeware shop, this popular harbourside quarter is brimming with goodies not found on the high street. Pop into one of the shops and you might end up coming away with a new outfit, colourful jewellery, locally-made cider and cheese, or a beautiful house plant!

Check out this short film celebrating the independent businesses within Bristol's Wapping Wharf community. Produced by Wapping Wharf resident Lorne Kramer, of Under the Wing Productions, the film reminds us what makes independent retailers so unique and encourages people to support local businesses.

As well as being the place to go for eating out or on the go, with everything from street food to fine dining covered, the neighbourhood also includes an organic food shop, a cheesemongers, a fishmongers, a butchers and a bakers – so you can even get your food shop done too.

There’s also a range of lifestyle-focused businesses including a barbers, a yoga studio and a massage studio and wellness centre, offering some well-deserved opportunities to relax!
