London offers a world of shopping opportunities! So what is your best option if you're short of time?
If you're visiting London for a short break, why not go to one of the city's big "department stores" to do all your shopping under a single roof?
Here's a summary of London's famous department stores:
Harrods
Everybody knows Harrods! It's like being a kid in a toyshop where you can happily lose yourself for many hours. The Food Hall is a special favourite - you can taste a proper Italian "gelato" if you deserve a proper treat. Although Harrods can be pricey it's a bundle of fun, even just for window-shopping!
Liberty
Liberty became famous for dressmaking but is actually a general department store. It is not all that well-organised as a store but that is actually part of its charm. The homewares department is super. The store is in central London right off Regent Street.
Selfridges
Selfridges is heaven for the fashion-conscious and all those who want to browse their favourite designer brands under one roof. Don't miss the store's flamboyant window displays on Oxford Street. Selfridges is also known for its special events and exhibitions which change every season. The well-known Selfridges sales is also worth knowing about.
Harvey Nichols
This store is a haunt of London's jetset "Sloane Rangers" whom you'll catch a glimpse of in the 5th Floor Cafe! Harvey Nichols has a-0 year history and is especially highly-rated for beauty goods and fashion items.
Fortnum & Mason
One of the best stores in London to buy gifts and souvenirs, especially edible items like teas (hundreds of varieties), chocolate and those famous English preserves. Enjoy some treats (like super English breakfasts) at the restaurants located inside. Fortnum & Mason is well-known for its great picnic hampers: why not take one away to enjoy in one of London's beautiful Royal Parks?
That completes our quick summary of London's best stores. Do check London Hotels Insight for further London insider tips. Happy shopping!
