WestbourneWestbourne is an a residential and shopping area of Bournemouth.  It's located in between Branksome, Poole and the centre of Bournemouth.  With a high street mainly full of specialised shops, small cafes and estate agents the area has become a fashionable and popular part of Bournemouth with a unique mix of clothing shops, cafes, restaurants and many other independent businesses.
 
Westbourne has a reputation for being the fashion district of Bournemouth, however having said that it's more where the fashionable go to socilaize than shop for that 'Little number'.  The main high street of Westbourne includes a Victorian covered shopping arcade.  On March 13th 2007 a large M&S Simply Food replaced the Waitrose and shortly after that as if they forgot Westbourne existed, Starbucks finally got the hint and opened their first coffee shop there so the relief of residents sick of tea from china cups

Westbourne is also home to the head office of LV which has two buildings, Frizzell House in the centre and Victoria House on the edge of County Gates roundabout, As a major local employer with around 1600 staff Westbourne relies on it's trade and would without doubt die without it. 

There are many places to eat and drink in Westbourne, ranging from brand establishments such as Cafe Rouge to pubs such as the Hogs Head pub. Restaurant choices include the Taj Mahal (the "Taj"), Westbourne Tandoori, Enzo's Italian, and Chez Fred (1991 winner, Seafish Industry Authority's "Best Fish and Chips Shop in Great Britain").

 

Conclusions:

A fashionable place to hang out and an even more fashionable place to live and also not far from the centre of town.
