Market Parade

Street guide, Havant

Market Parade is a short commercial street near the centre of Havant, flanking the approach to The Springs shopping centre. The street has a mix of shops, cafes, takeaways and service businesses serving the town centre trade. Market Parade carries pedestrian traffic between the car parks, the bus stops and The Springs, making it one of the busier spots in the town during shopping hours. The street has been reshaped by the development of The Springs and the wider town centre redevelopment of the 1980s. The character is functional and commercial, with the shops providing everyday services. Market Parade is the kind of street that every town centre depends on but rarely celebrates, providing the practical retail and service infrastructure that keeps the centre functioning.
