Shopping in Dover
Shopping in Dover is easy and relaxed with the main shopping area being on the level and part pedestrianised. Many of the larger national outlets are represented and a wide diversity of smaller shops offer everything from art, crafts and quality gifts to books, marine supplies and musical instruments – all are interspersed with cafes and tea rooms making shopping in Dover a pleasant and enjoyable experience.
Dover town centre shops generally open 9.00 to 5.30 Monday to Saturday. Marks & Spencer opens at 8.30 on Friday & Saturday. The town centre supermarket is open on Sundays 10 am to 4 pm and De Bradelei Wharf also open on Sundays.
Shoppers would do well to explore further up the High Street, past the historic Maison Dieu Town Hall, where Dover's shops stretch for over 1 mile. Rest a while for refreshments at the Charlton Centre, Dover's only purpose built shopping centre and then venture further up London Road where you will discover many individual shops selling collectables and other specialist items.
