Shepherds Bush Street Market
You will really enjoy the West London Street Market and this is a wonderful place to stop by when you are visiting the area. No matter what you are looking for you will likely be able to find it at the West London Street Market which is located in Shepherd’s Bush between Uxbridge Road and Goldhawk Road. At the market you will find so many different items that you will be surprised at what’s available! It is very interesting to see the market because it is situated on a viaduct that is incredibly narrow and railway arches line the viaduct and also serve as lockups for those traders at the market.
Back in 1914 was the first summer that trading took place at the market and it still is in full force today only having taken a small break during World War I. The Afro Caribbean influence and stalls are outstanding and tourists as well as locals love to shop at the market. The market is located along Goldhawk and Uxbridge Roads and such great prices are offered that anyone in need of household goods should come and pick out all the necessary wares and save a lot of money. Tourists will love the affordable prices and certainly find a couple of interesting items to take home with them!
Look for the Shepherd’s Bush Market on the east side of the railway viaduct. You can arrive easily by tube. Take the tube to Shepherd’s Bush, Goldhawk Road. If you need to take a bus there are many different buses that will carry you where you want to go. These include 49, 72, 94, 95, 207, 220, 237, 260, 283, 295, and 607. The market is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 08:30 – 18:00 and on Thursdays from 08:30 – 13:00.
Once you arrive you can spread out and find the different goods you are looking for. One of the best things to buy is any type of clothing. You will find plenty of clothing goods from leather jackets to embroidered shirts that are within your price range. You can also find tailors willing to tailor make suits for you, and this is one of the most popular reasons for people to visit the market. There is one tailor who sells suits beginning at only £40. Of course some suits cost significantly more, but you can find one for a cheap price if you know what and where to look. Tourists really love to visit the market and get a couple of beautiful suits or other types of clothes for an affordable price that looks like they cost triple what they paid.
The market is highly influenced by the Afro-Caribbean community and it is obvious when you hear the music, taste the food, and experience the atmosphere. If you really want to enjoy the Afro Caribbean experience then you can sample some of the different foods that are readily available in the market. These include halal meat, green plantains, yams, okra, sweet potatoes, green bananas, and other traditional foods. You will love that you can buy exotic fish or taste traditional foods and really take a moment out of time and travel from traditional London to a different place where life is different.
Tourists interested in the market should plan on taking half a day to visit. Of course, you could devote an entire day to the market and have plenty to do and see. But, most tourists have a limited amount of time to fit in all of their tours and visits before holiday is over and they must return home. So, plan on visiting around a meal time so that you can fill up on some wonderful Afro Caribbean traditional foods and seek out the goods and items that you want to take home with you. A great plan is to find out the sizes of all those people who you want to take presents to and buy them a confection at one of the tailor’s stalls that will surely be beautiful and an amazing gift.
There really is a lot to see and do at Shepherd’s Market and if you don’t have a full day or even a half a day to devote to exploring the stalls and all the wares for sale that’s ok. Just make sure you stop by for at least an hour or even for lunch so you can experience this amazing West London attraction.
