We checked 16 Ealing shops and markets, from For Arts Sake to Mooch and Southall Market, for opening hours and addresses. Updated November 2026.
Ealing borough has 16 shops and markets worth a Christmas shopping trip in 2026, and this guide puts them in one place with opening hours, addresses and what each one sells. For Arts Sake, Mooch, Greenka and the Pitshanger Bookshop are the names most people land on, and Southall Market is the place for silk, jewellery and a Saturday crowd.
Shops often change their hours close to Christmas, so check before a special trip.

How we chose
We started from the Make It Ealing business directory, Ealing Living magazine’s shop-local list from February 2026 and the shops’ own sites, then kept places selling things people buy as presents, with a current listing and a named address. We favoured independents and say where an entry is a chain.
