The main shopping centre is located along busy Burke Road with many designer clothing and giftware shops and dozens of restaurants and cafes, bookshops, chocolate and ice cream stores..
Camberwell Fresh Food Market is open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and is an all round great place to visit for all your fresh produce needs. There are butchers, seafood vendors, florists, fruit and vegetable stalls and several delicatessens. All the produce seems to be so much fresher than you can buy at the supermarket. For a market of a different kind, a short walk up Camberwell Road brings you to the Hawthorn Craft Market which is held on the first Sunday of the month. This is one of Melbourne’s oldest and best maker’s markets and well worth a visit.
One of Melbourne’s iconic multiplex cinemas, The Rivoli, is just around the corner, showing a mix of arthouse and independent films together with more mainstream blockbusters. Look out for student discount prices!
