About

On Isle of Wight, Talk of the Chine is known for antiques, trading from 111 High St, Shanklin PO37 6NS, United Kingdom.

First-time visitors can expect a shop floor of old pieces and collectables, open 10:00 to 18:00 on Mondays, plus a Saturday extension, and from 12:00 to 18:00 on Sundays. A 4.6 out of 5 rating from 12 reviews reflects a small but appreciative customer base. Shanklin sits on the island's south-east coast, with Sandown, Ventnor and Newport close enough for a combined trip, and Ryde, Cowes and Yarmouth further along the island's roads. The website http://talkofthechine.com/ lists what is currently available.

Thursday and Friday follow the same 10:00 to 18:00 pattern as Monday, while Sunday opens later at 12:00 and runs until 18:00. The street address places the shop in Shanklin's old town area, a short walk from the seafront and the chine itself.

British islands have mild, wet and changeable weather warmed by the Gulf Stream and often windy, so browsing indoors has its advantages. English is the everyday language across the Isle of Wight, and the island's roads and ferry links make Shanklin reachable from the other main towns. Visitors travelling by car can pair a stop here with Sandown or Ventnor, both within easy driving distance.
