Is George's Street Arcade worth it solo?

Worth itSolo

Solo, George's Street Arcade works.

A characterful, atmospheric Victorian arcade where browsing vintage and indie stalls beats any chain-store run, with good cheap eats. The honest catch: it's compact and shopping-focused, so it's a 20-minute browse rather than a destination, and stall quality varies.
