Northcote Road - a unique shopping street

Northcote Road runs from Battersea Rise to Broomwood Road. The street is a haven of diversity, with specialist shops and boutiques, complemented by market stalls. Shoppers can find everything they need, from fishmongers and butchers to aromatherapy shops and bakers.

Many of the shops have a long history of trading in the street. Dove Butchers has been there since 1889 and has been handed down through generations. Apart from the boutiques and specialist stores the street offers boasts dozens of cafes, restaurahttp://www.ukniwm.org.uk/nts and eateries.

Child-friendly café Crumpet is always popular with families and with its delicious cakes, organic baby food and play area complete with traditional wooden toys for children, it is easy to see why. The owner uses fresh locally-sourced food with local mums baking his cakes and cheese from Hamish Johnston.

There's also the market stalls which are as varied as the shops behind them - stocking anything from vintage, one-off clothes, to fresh bread, sandwiches and pastries.

The plant and flower stall is also popular while another stall does a roaring trade in olives, sun-dried tomatoes and other delicacies.

In the evenings there's a lively social scene. There's something for everyone from the cosy atmosphere of the Holy Drinker with its open fire and reclaimed theatre seats, to swanky cocktail bar, Iniquity and the lively Babel.

Today's businesses offer a variety of high quality shopping opportunities and give Northcote Road its unique charm.
