Two anchors define the top of Richmond's retail. Richmond Centre in Brighouse is the conventional one, walkable from the Richmond-Brighouse Canada Line station and surrounded by the densest block of everyday services on the island. Aberdeen Centre, a few stops north, is the other: a full department-store-scale complex whose Japanese and Chinese retail floors pull shoppers from across Metro Vancouver.
Lansdowne Centre, Yaohan and President Plaza fill in around them, and Ironwood Plaza covers the southeast with the big-box formats. Between them these stores hold the cosmetics counters, homeware floors, seasonal displays and food halls smaller shops cannot carry. Listings show the mall address, hours and neighbourhood, and the Canada Line puts three of them within a short walk of a platform.

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.
Run one of these?
