About

Meet Original Penguin, a local business in Isle of Wight, trading as a clothing store at Unit 90 Gunwharf Rd, Portsmouth PO1 3TZ, United Kingdom. First-time visitors should expect a branded clothing shop rather than a general department store.

Doors open at 10:00 and close at 19:00 from Monday to Friday, Saturday trading stretches from 09:00 to 20:00, and Sunday hours run 10:00 to 18:00. A 4.3 out of 5 average from 44 reviews places it among the reviewed clothing retailers in the area. Two photographs are attached to the listing, and the shop's website is http://www.originalpenguin.co.uk/.

The store sits at Unit 90 Gunwharf Rd in Portsmouth, reachable by car ferry or passenger ferry from the Isle of Wight, and road links connect it to the wider south coast. Newport, Ryde, Cowes, Sandown, Shanklin, Ventnor, Freshwater and Yarmouth are among the island towns that frame a visit to this part of the crossing.

British islands are reached by car ferries, passenger ferries and, in some cases, scheduled flights, so a crossing is part of any trip. Island life centres on harbours, lifeboat stations and the RNLI, with regattas and fetes in summer. Standing stones, brochs and early Christian chapels survive on many British islands, and smoked fish, island cheeses, fudge and bakery bread are sold in island shops and harbourside cafés.
