It's not always easy to find something there, but there are always some stands with small, independent, and often eco-friendly clothes. My favourites are Spitafields Market and Sunday Up Market. Go to Liverpool Street Station, from there it's just a short walk away! Best look it up on a map if you're going. </p> <p>I went to London in March and asked for shopping suggestions, one of the recommendations was for Joules, and I ended up buying a dress there! Colourful, cute and fun pieces! </p> <p>Hope you'll have a wonderful trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-to-london-next-week---any-fun-places-to-shop#post-1488435 Thu, 07 May 2015 18:44:13 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1488435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you love color, you might like Boden. I took a trip on the tube to their London store last time I was there, and it was worth the trip. Of course the usual suspects of the London department stores and high street are always fun too, if not so eco friendly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-to-london-next-week---any-fun-places-to-shop#post-1488300 Thu, 07 May 2015 16:02:25 +0000 Elle 1488300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We got a strange but cute clock at the Covent Gardent market (lots of different vendors). The Portobello Road market can get crazy crowded but is fun if you go early.&nbsp; I'd suggest looking (since you can't afford to buy) at the beautiful arcades (Burlington Arcade, Royal Arcade).&nbsp; Old Spitalfields Market is another interesting building with different vendors.&nbsp; As you can see, my shopping leans heavily towards outdoor markets and street fairs.</p> <p>I second the V&amp;A recommendation and be sure to at least look at the eating rooms of the cafeteria (over the top Victorian decor).</p> <p>Have a great trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-to-london-next-week---any-fun-places-to-shop#post-1487502 Wed, 06 May 2015 07:59:58 +0000 approprio 1487502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Natural Shoe store on Neal Street is where you should go for ethical footwear. Doc Martens have a flagship store right next door and there are many other interesting shops in that neighbourhood.</p> <p>If you want an afternoon vicariously shopping the very best of the best, I highly recommend a trip to Dover Street Market. It's full of high end avant-garde stuff and very, very fancy. I never buy anything but I love to spend an hour or so just looking when I'm in town.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-to-london-next-week---any-fun-places-to-shop#post-1487500 Wed, 06 May 2015 07:48:47 +0000 Sal 1487500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was five years ago that I went to London, and I loved Islington/Angel area. Lots of smaller shops, bakeries, boutiques....I really loved it.</p> <p>We also spent an afternoon in Coventry Garden and I went to Kings Road too, both great shopping but more chain stores or department stores.</p> <p>I loved the Victoria and Albert Museum too, they had a Grace Kelly exhibition!, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-to-london-next-week---any-fun-places-to-shop#post-1487377 Wed, 06 May 2015 02:16:56 +0000 Carole 1487377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We leave in 3 weeks, Laura. My first time so I am no help...just wanted to wish you a wonderful time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-to-london-next-week---any-fun-places-to-shop#post-1487351 Wed, 06 May 2015 01:46:34 +0000 Laura J 1487351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should have given more detail! I'm not looking for anything in particular. I value quality, ethically made clothes. I like having useful momentos from travel. It can be a nail polish or an article of clothing that will last a long time. It will be fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-to-london-next-week---any-fun-places-to-shop#post-1487305 Tue, 05 May 2015 23:44:52 +0000 Suz 1487305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOOH! Fun times.&nbsp;</p> <p>There are so many places to shop...but it sounds as if you might be looking for shoes? Lots of great shoe stores on Oxford and Regent streets... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-to-london-next-week---any-fun-places-to-shop#post-1487269 Tue, 05 May 2015 22:25:23 +0000 Laura J 1487269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm petite and have wide toes/narrow heels and love color. </p>
