Central Milton Keynes’ landscaping was created by renowned landscape designers Peter Youngman, Neil Higson and Tony Southard. The formative work was undertaken by Tony, who also planted the Shopping Building with Andrew Snoddy from Edinburgh Botanic Garden.

Milton Keynes Market has been a key feature of CMK since establishment in 1979. It retains its original location having expanded over the years and was designed to create a vibrant town centre with accessible retail options. It remains a lively hub for fresh produce, clothing, and various household goods.

Over the years, the market has evolved to reflect changes in shopping habits, expanding its offerings and introducing stalls tailored to the increasingly diverse population of Milton Keynes. It continues to serve as a bustling space for local traders and shoppers alike, contributing to the community-oriented atmosphere of Central Milton Keynes.
