About Uxbridge Town

With two large shopping centres, The Chimes and The Mall, Uxbridge is among the top ten shopping destinations in London. However it's sometimes easy to forget that Uxbridge itself has a surprisingly generous choice of shops, bars and restaurants. Situated right next to the big name stores are the historic Windsor Street and the Market House, which boast a number of independent shops to explore.

Every Wednesday a craft market is held in The Mall, offering a host of different arts and crafts to suit every taste. A weekly farmers' market is held every Sunday morning, and you can pick up fresh local produce such as fruit and veg, meat and preserves.

As well as the excellent links into the centre of London, there are also some hidden gems dotted around the area, such as the huge Colne Valley Park and the Grand Union Canal - you can, if you are so inclined, walk or cycle down the tow-path all the way to Camden Lock, or even hire a canal boat for the day!

If you're after some cultural pastimes the renowned Beck Theatre in Hayes is also a short bus ride away, which has regular showings of dance, drama, stand-up and musicals.
