Shepherd's Bush Market
Shepherd's Bush Market was founded in 1914. It is now a large street market that operates six days a week (except on Sundays). It is especially valued by people looking for exotic fruits and spices. Purple eggplant, bitter melons, dragon fruit, warship, plantain, coconut in shell and many other goods from Africa and Asia, which are rare in other bazaars, are sold here.
In addition to fruit, vegetables, raw meat and other fresh foods, sellers offer dozens of breads, cheeses and a wide range of music publishers and souvenirs from London. There are also many gastronomic points on the market, serving both fast food as well as African and Asian specialties.
The market owes its specific offer and climate to the ethnic mix characteristic of the Shepherd's Bush district, made up of visitors from Africa, Australia, New Zealand, but also Syria, Iran, Morocco, Afghanistan and Poland.
