Shepherd's Bush Market is one of West London's most characterful street markets, threaded along the railway viaduct of the Hammersmith and City line between Uxbridge Road and Goldhawk Road in W12. Trading here since around 1914, it has more than a century of history and a famously diverse mix of stalls and arch-front shops. Today it draws a multicultural crowd for cheap fresh produce, fabrics, household goods and a clutch of cafes serving food from around the world. Entry is free, so you only pay for what you buy.

Opening times

The market trades Monday to Saturday, roughly 9am to 6pm, and is closed on Sundays. It generally does not open on bank holidays. Weekday mornings are the calmest time to browse the fruit and veg, while Saturdays are the busiest and most lively if you want the full bustle of the market.

What's on the stalls

Stalls and arch units sell an unusually broad range of goods: fresh fruit and vegetables, exotic spices, fabrics and textiles, clothing, lingerie, haberdashery and homeware, plus butchers, fishmongers and tailors. Several cafes and food traders serve international street food, from falafel and Ethiopian dishes to Chinese food and pizza. The mix reflects the area's diverse community and makes it a strong spot for budget shopping.
