Three distinct retail worlds sit within a few minutes of each other. Richmond Centre and Lansdowne carry the national chains and the department-store trade. Aberdeen Centre and Parker Place stock Asian labels, Japanese and Korean street brands and small boutiques that turn over fast and rarely appear anywhere else in Canada. Moncton Street in Steveston runs to independents: casual wear, marine-flavoured basics, gift-shop crossovers.
Add the outlet and discount racks near Bridgeport, the bridal and formalwear specialists along No. 3 Road, and the uniform and workwear suppliers serving a city with plenty of both. Listings name the neighbourhood, so the search stays useful whether you are on foot in a mall or driving out to Ironwood.
Small independent women's clothing shop on the main Moncton Street strip in Steveston Village. Casual and dressier pieces plus accessories, chosen in small runs, so the stock changes often. The kind of shop where staff remember what you bought last time.

Guides and roundups written for Richmond, with the businesses linked inline.
Nothing on Alexandra Road is a hidden gem. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.
The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
I live four blocks off Moncton Street, so this is the Steveston I actually use: where to park before the Bayview lots fill, how to buy fish straight off the boats at the wharf, the honest answer to the Pajo's versus Dave's question, and why the history here is not decoration.
