Shops

With a wide range of independent shops, Abingdon-on-Thames is emphatically an individual. It’s a unique place to spend a relaxing day browsing and discovering something new. The streets cluster around the medieval Market Place, making it easy to wander around without walking too far, and everything is just a stone’s throw from the picturesque Thames riverbank. Family-run businesses mean that friendly service is backed by sound knowledge of the products they sell, so you will find our shopkeepers a refreshing change.

Two new businesses are The Little Tea Room and a new dry cleaner both on East St Helen Street.

If you would like to search for a business by name, you can use the Business Directory. or look at individual streets. Don't confine your browse to the town centre as there are some gems in all parts of town.

Are you a new local business? Businesses are listed on request. If you would like your business listed then please e-mail full details to enquiries@abingdon.gov.uk a photograph would be useful.
