Kempton Thursday market

Every Thursday near Kempton Park racecourse you will find the traffic queuing along the Staines Road east as shoppers mix with travellers trying to get out to Sunbury Cross. From about 8am till 3ish you will find market stalls galore ranging from the fruit and veg and flowers at the entrance to luggage, shoes, wrapping paper, meat, undies and perfume. There are several stalls selling Argos or Next catalogue returns and a few selling electrical items at cut prices. Add to this the obligatory mobile phone unlocking guys and the short date food stalls and you will have a good idea of what’s there. Pre Christmas it always used to have a fab stall selling perfume gift sets but this was missing on the last few occasions I have been. Worth a trip just for a look. Parking is abundant but it gets very busy near Christmas time.
