Cheltenham Districts

Thanks to Cheltenham's relative infancy as a Town, the influence of the Regency Period, and the historic local land ownership, Cheltenham has a number of defined individual Districts which each have their own unique characteristics and merits. Add to this our gorgeous architecture with tree-lined Promenades and tucked-away side streets and the Town is a great place for a mooch, eating Al Fresco, and of course to shop 'til you drop in any one of our many independent shops and retailers.

The High Street

The High Street sports a fantastic blend of independent and mainstream shops, and a soon-to-open flagship John Lewis and is a conservation area to preserve the historic buildings and architecture. Find out more...

The Promenade

The Promenade which joins the High Street, has a wonderful cafe culture, with a wide pedestrian area, restaurants and cafes with outdoor seating to enjoy the weather, and an interspersed mix of branded and independent shops. The Promenade is also home to Imperial Gardens, The Municipal Buildings, Neptune's Fountain and hosts our regular Farmers, and Arts and Craft markets.
