The town of Hemel Hempstead has much to offer
its many visitors and is a great family friendly place to shop. The
town centre has all the major high street stores you'd expect of a
busy modern town as well as a Debenhams department store.
The Marlowes, in the town centre, constitutes
Hemel Hempstead's main shopping area. There are stores located
along both sides of the street, much of which is pedestrianised, as
well as inside the Marlowes
Shopping Centre.
At the end of the Marlowes, just past Marks
& Spencer, you can walk straight through into Riverside, the new shopping
development with Debenhams
and many other new stores. Road access can be gained via the Plough
(‘Magic’) Roundabout to the Riverside 350 space car park.
Hemel Hempstead's outdoor market is located in the centre
of the Marlowes, along the pedestrianised area. For fruit and
vegetables, clothes and household goods, the general market is on
Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
For something extra special and unique, why not
stroll up to the Old Town High Street
and browse around the antique and other shops. Here you will also
find plenty of restaurants and pubs.
Hemel Hempstead town centre also has plenty of
cafes and restaurants and is a secure pedestrianised area with
CCTV, Safe Child Scheme, baby changing facilities and easy
parking.
