The twice-weekly street market, held every Wednesday and Saturday on St. Peters Street, is defined by its frantic pace. In contrast, modern off-street precincts and small specialty shops in St. Albans combine to create a unique, laid-back atmosphere the rest of the week.
The Past Times Shop, 33 Market Place (tel. 01727/812817), sells items that cover 12 historic eras. Here you'll find books on historic places, jewelry, clothes, and CDs featuring music from a variety of time periods.
For antiques, visit By George, 23 George St. (tel. 01727/853032). St. Albans's largest antiques center, the building also houses a tearoom and crafts arcade.
