Britomart Precinct
Rejuvenated shopping hub by the waters of Queens Wharf




Former mercantile centre of colonial Auckland, Britomart's rejuvenation has brought it firmly to the fore of the city's top shopping areas – 6.5 hectares of colonial red-brick heritage filled with restaurants, bars, cafés, boutiques and services both local and international. The boutique of Auckland local Kate Sylvester's offers its own blend of trend-transcending highly-wearable pieces, while Kathryn Wilson's debutant boutique as New Zealand's leading shoe-designer nods to the strength of local offerings. Furthering the likes of the concept store trend, avant-garde label WORLD and the art gallery-like space for Trelise Cooper's glamour pieces are true standouts.
