Welcome to Green Street,
Britain’s most celebrated
Asian shopping destination.
Here you are guaranteed a
truly unique experience; a
vibrant contrast to the chain
store monotony of many
retail centres. Whether you
buy, taste, browse or just
soak up the atmosphere in
this eclectic area of
London, you are bound to
leave having sampled
something completely new.
Hair and beauty salons
add to the glamour, with
intricate henna designs and
expert threading offered
at unbeatable prices.
Authentic cuisine from
all over the world will wow
your taste buds without
denting your wallet.
Adventurous cooks will
love the fresh produce and
spices on sale, along with
gleaming pots and pans,
utensils and crockery.
Look out for the
haberdashery stores
with rainbow-coloured
ranges of fabrics, ribbons,
bows, buttons and threads.
The famous Queens
Market offers a wonderful
selection for bargain hunters
and those in search of the
quirky, the original and the
unexpected. The market
has stacks of exotic fruits
and vegetables and unusual
produce: just the place for
real food lovers. You’ll also
find hair accessories,
pashminas, world music
CDs and an astonishing
variety of fish, meat, olives,
fruit and vegetables, many of
which you are unlikely to find
in a regular supermarket.
All the World is here in Green
Street, and visitors from all
over the World can be sure
of a warm welcome and an
unforgettable day out.

TRAIN
Upton Park Tube Station is located directly
on Green Street and is served by the District
and Hammersmith and City Lines.
Forest Gate, Wanstead Park and
Woodgrange Park Stations are around
10-15 minutes walk from the top end of
Green Street by the junction with Romford
Road, Stratford Station and Stratford
International are just a few minutes away
by bus.
BUS
Green Street is served by numbers 5, 25, 58,
86, 104, 115, 238, 325, 330 and 376 check
www.tfl.gov.uk for bus routes as the buses
stop at different places in the area. Green
Street is over a mile long, so it may be a long
walk if you arrive at the other end from the
shop that you are looking for.
AIR
London City Airport is just 2½ miles away
from Green Street.
PARKING
There are two pay and display car parks on
Shaftsbury Road and Queen’s Road. Both
car parks have 150 spaces and can get busy,
especially on West Ham United football match
days. Parking in residential streets is restricted.
W H E N TO G O :
Visit Green Street after 11am, as
many shops don’t open before then.
WHEN TO GO
USEFUL INFORMATION: GETTING TO GREEN STREET
TUBE
Some shops close on Fridays, but
on Sundays almost all are open.
We recommend you check with
individual shops if there is a
specific one you wish to visit.
If you don’t like crowds, avoid
West Ham United home fixtures.
Some of the listings in this guide
are for shops and stalls in Queens
Market, which is open Tuesdays,
Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
The market has recently started
opening on a Sunday, but many of
the stallholders are different from
those there on other market days.

ask for advice on how to
wear the clothes. Why not
complete the look with an

3 tbsp vegetable oil
Small piece of ginger

½ tsp turmeric

If using dried chick peas, soak in water overnight
then boil in a pressure cooker until tender,
if using canned, they are ready to use.
Cut the tomato and green chilli. Grind them
in a blender, along with ginger and garlic
to make a paste.
Heat the oil in a pan with the onions and curry
leaves for 30 seconds. Add the paste and fry
on a medium heat until golden brown (The oil
will start to separate from the mixture).
Add the red chilli powder, turmeric, ground
coriander, garam masala and salt. Mix well.
Fry for 2-3 minutes.
Add enough water to make a thick gravy.
Bring to the boil.
Add the cooked chick peas. Stir well and cook
over a medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
To create a rich texture, let the curry cool then,
re-heat before serving. (This allows the flavours
to blend with the chickpeas and excess
water to evaporate).
Serve hot and garnish with chopped
coriander leaves.
