With several sensational Christmassy markets dotted around the borough, discounted designer wear at our outlet mall, high streets packed with crafty boutiques, and some of London’s best museum shops – you won’t have trouble finding something special to gift this Christmas. Whether you’re hitting the high street, or browsing online, scroll through this list for the shopping highlights across Greenwich.

Markets and Malls

From the centuries-old trading halls of Greenwich Market to the Outlet Shopping at The O2, the Royal Borough of Greenwich offers one of London’s most impressive range of shopping options. 

Looking for quirky handmade pieces, unique clothes, or one-off vintage pieces?
Head to Greenwich Market. Trading since 1737 in the heart of UNESCO-listed Maritime Greenwich, the market is a treasure trove of special things, mostly made by its friendly traders.

For desirable and affordable designer wear from names like Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, head straight to Outlet Shopping at The O2 on Greenwich Peninsula. With discounts of up to 70% off RRP, you’ll find plenty of up-to-the minute fashion and accessories.

While you’re here: both Greenwich Market and Outlet Shopping at The O2 have an incredible range of restaurants, cafes, bars and street-food stalls to fuel your shopping expedition. Recharge your batteries with a delicious food stop.

World-class Museum Shops

Greenwich’s museums may be just the place to find something for that loved one who’s a little difficult to please. As well as having fabulous museum gift shops, the National Maritime Museum, Royal Observatory, Cutty Sark and Queen's House, have a comprehensive online Royal Museums Greenwich shop just bursting with fascinating, beautiful and unusual offerings. 

From high-quality art prints to astronomy guides, homewares and even the Cutty Sark’s own tea, perfect presents are just a click away. There are always discounts to be found (including 10% off for subscribers), and UK-wide delivery is free when you spend £50. And, for the history buff in your life, a museum membership is gift that keeps on giving. 

Most museums and galleries around Greenwich also have physical gift shops which are the ideal place for picking up last-minute presents.

Finding it hard to find a gift for that greenie in the family that refuses any more new things? Show them your love by buying them an experience instead! A voucher for the Painted Hall and the Old Royal Naval College, perhaps even combined with a traditional high tea, is a ticket to great memories! 

If you’re visiting yourself to see this ensemble of stunning architecture, vivid frescoes and other vestiges of 600 years of royal and maritime history, do browse the exceptional on-site gift shop (also at the Visitor Centre at the Old Royal Naval College).

An award-winning social enterprise, it definitely has that perfect thing you didn’t know existed.
