Shopping
You can find cheap name brand seconds and end of line clothing products and various other garment products. The only disadvantage is that it can be crowded! But be prepared for a bargain.

Amazing locally made and designed authentic handloom prpducts. A brilliant showcase for traditional Sri Lankan products. Do enjoy an iced coffee in the magnificent garden at the end of the shop.

Amazing stuff for the home! Great crockery, cutlery and decorations for the home. The chap who owns it is a hotelier who has a wickedly keen eye for interior design. Housed in a Geoffrey Bawa house!
