Greenwich is full of small shops and boutiques
selling an incredible range of fashions, gifts, books, music, antiques
and delicious food. Especially interesting are the shops that reflect
Greenwich’s maritime history and those that showcase the work
of local artists and printmakers.

Greenwich Market has had
a royal charter since 1700. From Thursday
to Sunday, its cobbled floor is packed with stalls selling
art, crafts, antiques and collectables plus food, clothing, gifts
and cards. On Wednesdays a fantastic food market
offers a delicious selection of fruit, vegetables, bread, cakes
and other treats.
Clock Tower Market,
on Greenwich High Road, is also bustling with life and offers furniture,
fashion, bric-a-brac, clothes, jewellery and much more. The markets
are a magnet for visitors and locals giving the streets and alleyways
of Greenwich an extra buzz at weekends and bank holidays.
