SHOPPING
Bread & Honey
A haven for streetwear enthusiasts run by an urbanwear expert and a nightclub promoter which tests your Cockney Rhyming Slang skills.
Liberty
Grounded in bohemian roots, Liberty’s mock-Tudor building is a favourite amongst fans of the high-end who love the carefully curated spaces and Liberty’s own line of accessories.
Borough Market
Anyone with even a passing interest in food goes gaga for this, London’s biggest gastro market, which serves up artisanal delights and fresh-from-the-farm produce.
Marylebone High Street
Small town character, intriguing shops and plenty of coffee spots makes this a much-loved refuge near Oxford Street’s mania.
Covent Garden-Neal Street
Its main market square may be the centre of tourist attentions, but spiral out into neighbouring streets and discover everything from curiosity shops to cosmology.
Columbia Road-Cheshire Street
Have a nose around specialist boutiques and blooms on two of the East End’s sleepiest workday streets, which come alive at the weekends.
Shoreditch-Hoxton
Designer studios make this their inspirational hub, so rather than ubiquitous high street brands, you’re more likely to find premium names and grimy one offs.
Notting Hill-Portobello
Portobello Market lives up to its Disney lyrics, whilst more upmarket names and boutiques and organics ahoy keep the rich list residents happy on nearby Westbourne Grove.
Knightsbridge-Sloane St-King’s Road
Spiritual home of the yummy mummy, housing mega brand emporiums, and bordered by the ultra exclusive Sloane Street and the now commercialised King’s Road.
Regent St-Bond St-Oxford St
The West End’s big three can be broken down into: Oxford Street for the masses (save for Selfridges), Regent Street for the foreigners, and Bond Street for the label queens.
Soho-Carnaby Street
Quirky boutiques, a smattering of the seedier side and independent talent to be found in Soho’s cobweb of streets, the most famous of which is perhaps Carnaby.
Harvey Nichols
A Sloane Street favourite, Harvey Nics packs in the ladies of lunch who love the extensive beauty and shoe departments, whilst men go underground to the savvy menswear basement.
Fortnum & Mason
Quintessentially British, Fortnum’s does the best gourmet hampers and ramps up the glamour on store-cupboard essentials.
Jeanette’s
Ex-Boombox door mistress Jeanette’s eponymous store has fast became a must-see destination amongst the fash-pack and cool-kids.
Hope & Greenwood
Nostalgic treats and old-school sweets are the order of the day at this Enid Blyton-esque sweet shop.
Abercrombie & Fitch
The overwhelming stench – be it pure testosterone or Fitch’s new perfume – pervades what was once a rather magnificent building in Mayfair now manned by half naked door-bitches.
