Correction (3 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 3 October 2026.
A shopping strip reads best in order, so this page starts on Hampton Street and then crosses into Sandringham. Seven places made the cut: two shopping strips and five individual shops. Two of the seven are in Hampton. The other five are in Sandringham, so this is an “in and around Hampton” list, and each heading carries the place’s own suburb.
Each entry describes what the place says about itself, or what the council says about it, in the source’s own words. We did not find published prices we could copy for these places, so this page prints none. Opening hours appear only where a source lists them, and the entry says whose listing it is.
The two strips are the council’s descriptions of Hampton Street and of Sandringham Village. The five shops are those we could confirm at two independent sources: a bike shop, a gift shop, an op shop, a designer consignment shop and a footwear shop.

Hampton Street retail village — Hampton Street, Hampton VIC 3188
The Bayside council page says “Hampton Street is Bayside’s longest shopping strip and is home to over 320 businesses including a growing café and dining scene.” It describes “an array of retail, specialty shops and services, all a stroll from Hampton train station”, and lists “bakeries, cafes, delis and restaurants, plus antiques, toys, home wares and art shops”. This is a street, not a single business, so hours vary shop by shop and we give none for the strip.
The strip: a separate council placemaking page lists “the existing bronze sculpture trail, mosaics, and community stories reflecting on the history of the area engraved into the footpath along Hampton St”.
Hampton Cycles — 353 Hampton Street, Hampton VIC 3188
Hampton Cycles’ own site is titled “Bike Shop in Hampton, Melbourne” and lists Service & Repairs, with the brands Cannondale, Colnago, Factor, Rapha and Specialized named. OpenStreetMap lists the shop as Hampton Bicycles at the same address, while its own site calls it Hampton Cycles. The site lists Monday to Friday 10am - 6pm, Saturday 10am - 5pm and Sunday closed.
Known for: bikes, with servicing and repairs listed on its site.
Sandringham Village (Sandy Village) — Station Street, Sandringham VIC 3191
This one is in Sandringham, not Hampton. The council says Sandringham Village is “the last stop on the Sandringham trainline”, and describes a supermarket, takeaway, fresh food, gourmet treats and cafes. It adds that the village “has developed a strong arts community and is home to many artists and creative types”. The Sandy Village traders’ directory lists Active Feet, Boxes and Bows and Open Vault under retail and All Souls Op Shop under community, and all four have their own entries below. We have left out the village’s twilight market because we could not confirm it is trading.
The strip: Station Street, at the end of the line, per the council.
Boxes and Bows — 15 Waltham Street, Sandringham VIC 3191
This one is in Sandringham, not Hampton. OpenStreetMap tags Boxes and Bows as a gift shop, and its own site says “We sell things we love, & hope you will too”. The site also lists “Complimentary Gift Wrapping Available!” and hours of Monday - Saturday 10am - 5pm, with Sunday closed.
Go for: gifts that come wrapped, since the site lists complimentary gift wrapping.
All Souls Op Shop — 46 Bay Road, Sandringham VIC 3191
This one is in Sandringham, not Hampton. OpenStreetMap lists it as “All Souls Opportunity Shop”, tagged as a charity shop, and the Sandy Village traders’ directory lists All Souls Op Shop at the same Bay Road address. An op shop is a charity second-hand shop. We have not verified its opening hours, so none are given here, and it is worth a call before you walk over.
Go for: second-hand goods from a charity shop, with hours to be confirmed with the shop.
Open Vault (designer consignment) — 86 Station Street, Sandringham VIC 3191
This one is in Sandringham, not Hampton. Open Vault’s own site is headed “Open Vault - Designer Consigners”. Consignment means the shop sells items on behalf of their owners. The site lists Monday closed, Tuesday 10:00am - 4:00pm, Wed - Fri 10:00am - 5:00pm, Saturday 10:00am - 4:00pm and Sunday 11:00am - 3:00pm.
Go for: designer pieces on consignment, open on Sundays by the site’s hours.
Active Feet Sandringham — 56 Station Street, Sandringham VIC 3191
This one is in Sandringham, not Hampton. Active Feet’s own site says “At Active Feet we are about more than just shoes, we are about complete footwear solutions.” Its store page for Sandringham lists Mon - Fri 10am - 5.30pm, Saturday 10am - 5pm and Sunday 11am - 4pm. These hours come from the chain’s own store page, and OpenStreetMap lists different ones, so ring ahead if timing matters.
Known for: footwear, with “complete footwear solutions” as the shop’s own description.
