Shopping

A visit to St Albans for shopping is a unique and varied experience, a contrast to indoor shopping malls. The city’s historic ambience provides a delightful setting in which to explore a wide range of top name and independent shops. The bustling city centre market on Wednesdays and Saturdays is one of the largest in the south east of England, with over 160 stalls.

St Albans is rich in heritage and tradition, evidence of which can be found down every street and arcade where traders have plied their wares for many a century.
