Hi Sarah, First of all, I apologise for not responding sooner; I have been away for a few days. It is my understanding that the rows are open between 10.30 and 17.00 on Sundays although some say they open at 11.00. Then on Mondays they quote between 09.00 and 17.30 but some say 09.30 to 18.00. The opening times can be a little confusing, possibly because many of the little shops are privately owned and choose their own hours. You also have the Grosvenor Precinct shopping mall adjoining the rows, so you should have quite a good selection to choose from. Hope you enjoy. Regards Ken
