SHOPPING
Mumbai's streets, corners and pavements are lined with shops and virtually anything you want is available in parts of its famous bazaars and markets. The main areas for bargain clothes are around Colaba Causeway and Fashion Street, which stretches along the Cross and Azad Maidans. More trendy and costly shopping is found at Breach Candy and Kemps Corner, down the hill from the Hanging Gardens. Chor Bazaar is an antique-hunter's delight, while nearby Zaveri Bazaar is famous for its diamond, gold and silver jewellery. The shopping arcades of almost all five-star hotels such as the Oberoi and the Taj Mahal offer a good variety of up-market shops. In central and suburban Mumbai, the Dadar, Bandra-Linking Road, and Juhu Road areas are good spots to shop.

Chor Bazaar
Chor Bazaar is commonly known as thieves' market, a name coined by the British but perhaps mistakenly. It is also thought that the original name was shor Bazaar(Noisy Market) which aptly described the yelling and shouting of the local traders on Mutton Street while selling therir second hand house hold goods.Today, it is a hustling bustling market selling an electic range of new and old furniture and bric-a-brac.The traders,whose families have been in this business for generations, scour the countryside buying goods to sell in the market.
You must visit Chor Bazaar. Here are some of our favourite shops but rummage as many as you can as you never know what you may find - a treasure, a bargain or just what you need. Take a taxi or bus to Maulana Shaukat Ali Road and set off down Mutton Street.
