Shepherd's Bush Market

Located between Uxbridge Road and Goldhawk Road in shepherd's Bush, the Shepherds Bush market contains a myriad of goods, ranging from the exotic through to the everyday mundane. The market itself runs down a narrow viaduct, lined with old railway arches that now present themselves as lockups for the traders on the market.

The market began trading in the summer of 1914 and apart from a slight break during the First World War, is still running strong today with some of the best speciality Afro-Caribbean stalls in the west.

Running the distance between Uxbridge Road and Goldhawk Road there is a good selection of wares from fish through to fabrics. Mundane, but essential, household goods are easy to come by and new home owners or those with an insufficient 'bottom drawer' should make a bee line to the lock up where anything from crockery to linen can be picked up at a fraction of high street prices.
