Today, it hosts designer flagships alongside independents, its architecture—from timber-framed relics to Victorian arcades—framing Garms as a modern anchor in this heritage tapestry. The street's buzz, with nearby cafes and passages like Bridlesmith Walk, amplifies the shopping adventure.Sustainable Style in the City Core
