Located 56 miles northeast of London, Colchester claims to be Britain's oldest town - a fact that makes it a popular tourist destination. It is a welcoming place, with an extensive range of shops including multiple and independent retailers. There are some interesting model and toy shops which blend well with all the fashion and food sellers.
Children will be fascinated to know that Colchester is reputed to be the home of three of the best loved nursery rhymes – Old King Cole, Humpty Dumpty and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!
Colchester's shopping streets are full of everything the shopaholic could want. The narrow main shopping streets are supplemented by an eclectic mix of cafes, bars and restaurants, and you don’t have to walk far to find the items you are looking for, especially with the specialist toy shops that serve Colchester so well.
