The best tourist experience I had in London was doing a 1 day bike ride around London with a history student. He had us riding our bikes across London Bridge and had wonderful stories and insights about London - such a magical city. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-london-shopping#post-2058433 Fri, 06 Sep 2019 13:20:44 +0000 missvee 2058433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ll second Sloane Square for the variety of smaller shops and for its excellent department store Peter Jones. It has a great selection of brands that are slightly more affordable and its in-house brand John Lewis is good too. I bought a cashmere sweater there last year that’s holding up very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-london-shopping#post-2058340 Fri, 06 Sep 2019 00:03:38 +0000 viva 2058340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Muffin, airport shopping sounds great! I will keep that in mind - many thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-london-shopping#post-2058201 Thu, 05 Sep 2019 12:56:06 +0000 anchie 2058201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like shopping in Regent street - all my favorite brands in one place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-london-shopping#post-2058194 Thu, 05 Sep 2019 12:33:54 +0000 Muffin 2058194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m sure you will find just the perfect souvenir! If you are flying out of Heathrow and have a bit of cash left the prices are excellent on “designer” items (Mulberry, Smythson, Burberry, etc). You gamble on what is available but I’ve been able to find great treasures in the past. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-london-shopping#post-2058054 Wed, 04 Sep 2019 18:29:52 +0000 viva 2058054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! I really appreciate these words of wisdom.</p> <p><b>Carla and Notsaf</b>, I'll be very close to Selfridge's - so thank you for the department store recommendation. Even if that's the only place I go, I'm sure it will be great.</p> <p>(<b>Notsaf</b>, thanks for the links. I wanted a Mulberry bag for sooooooo long. That is a great recommendation! Not sure my wallet will allow, but I'm going to think about that for sure.)</p> <p><b>Jane</b>: Thank you for the detailed info! I'll see what I can squeeze in, lots of great ideas there.</p> <p>And <b>CardiffGirl</b>, Liberty's would be so wonderful.</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, I would love to get back to Shoreditch - I remember a few fun shops there when we went 5 or 6 years ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-london-shopping#post-2057792 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 17:38:53 +0000 Cardiff girl 2057792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Having been shopping in London with Jane I would say that she is definitely the Master so take her advice on this one!If you have time Liberty's is a very interesting and iconic London shop to visit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-london-shopping#post-2057761 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 15:54:06 +0000 Angie 2057761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Jane</b> said! And head out to Shoreditch if you have time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-london-shopping#post-2057749 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 15:11:53 +0000 Carla 2057749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an uber cool place. DS#1 got a brolly here, and they packed it in a tube for him. He had no trouble getting it home. If I recall correctly, it's not too far from St. Paul's (30 min walk?)</p> <p><a href="https://www.james-smith.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">https://www.james-smith.co.uk/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-london-shopping#post-2057717 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 13:37:16 +0000 notsaf 2057717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not an expert, but I second Carla's recommendation for department stores, especially Selfridge's and John Lewis, to which nothing in the US can really hold a candle!</p> <p>Your choices would depend more on personal style, but there are many great UK-based high street brands which are a bit cheaper to shop over there, including Toast, the Fold, Baukjen, Whistles, Hobbs.</p> <p>You might also take a peak at Who What Wear's UK site:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.whowhatwear.co.uk/">https://www.whowhatwear.co.uk/</a></p> <p>I also follow this blog (also on Instagram) and she's done a few round-ups of London shopping districts:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://the-frugality.com/">https://the-frugality.com/</a></p> <p>Depends on how special you want to go, but a Mulberry bag is about the most special thing I could image getting in London. ;)</p> <p>Have a great trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-london-shopping#post-2057654 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 06:33:31 +0000 Jane 2057654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds fun! I’m biased because I work by Sloane Square so the below are my preferences - </p> <p>Zara at Duke of York Square is very good and there are various other brands and stores adjacent - Massimo Dutti, Whistles, Boden, Cos. </p> <p>Duke of York Square is on the Kings Road which has other newish brands like Rixo, Cefinn, Essentiel Antwerp</p> <p>Duke of York Square is also adjacent to Sloane Sq tube and that is by Sloane Street for higher end brands - Maje, red Valentino, and other luxe brands.</p> <p>For coffee during shopping, Pavilion Road is cute and English and fun, 1 min from Sloane Sq too. (There is an amazing stationary shop there too!)</p> <p>Peter Jones a massive and well loved department store is on Sloane Square too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-london-shopping#post-2057653 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 06:09:18 +0000 Carla 2057653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Harrod’s, Selfridge’s, Marks and Spencer for department store fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-london-shopping#post-2057621 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 01:31:39 +0000 Sal 2057621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It has been a long time for me but I always love Chelsea (Kings Road area and off there), Covent Garden and Islington.&nbsp; I think Shoreditch is supposed to be very cool.</p> <p>Oxford St can be very overwhelming!!</p> <p>Have a great time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-london-shopping#post-2057610 Tue, 03 Sep 2019 00:51:30 +0000 viva 2057610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all,<br /> Happy end of summer! I’ve got a very quick London trip coming up later this month. If I have time for a little shopping - and I’d love to find something special - where should I go? Would love your recommendations.<br /> Vivian </p>
