Green Street is alive 

with shops, restaurants 

and sights that reflect 

the best of London – 

cultural diversity, 

innovative style and 

boundless energy. Here, 

Newham’s cosmopolitan 

population lives, works 

and trades side-by-side, 

fusing tastes, traditions 

and designs from the 

Indian sub-continent, 

and all over the world. 

A dazzling range of 

jewellery, sarees, silk 

suits and sequined 

slippers will appeal to 

all tastes and budgets. 

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.

USEFUL INFORMATION: GETTING TO GREEN STREET 

TUBE 

TRAIN 

BUS 

AIR 

PARKING 

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. 

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. 

London City Airport is just 2½ miles away 

from Green Street. 

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. 

WHEN TO GO: 

Visit Green Street after 11am, as 

many shops don’t open before then. 

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.

1 green chilli 

3 tbsp vegetable oil 

Small piece of ginger 

4 cloves garlic

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.
