SHOPPING

© Richie Diesterheft

Shopping in London means being strategic. It is easy to wear yourself out trying to take in the large number ofshops and boutiques. Two good tips: focus on one area ata time and wear comfortable shoes.

Oxford Street and Mayfair

Oxford Street is the street of retail chains, with one exception: Selfridges. This is the largest department storein London which after many transformations has emergedas the quintessential London luxury department store.Near Oxford Street in Mayfair, you will nd the fashionableBond Street where an increasing number of interestingboutiques are opening up. If you are searching for shoesby luxury brands like Gucci and Sergio Rossi, make sureyou visit 15 Old Bond Street.

Soho and Covent Garden

Soho is a maze. You never exit where you think you will, and you never really know where you’ve been. The areahas many fun shops so prepare to shoulder anever-increasing number of shopping bags. Many of thestores around Covent Garden cater to teens, especiallythose interested in skate and street fashion. On NealStreet, the sneaker shops line up, and the Seven Dialsshopping mall houses even more of the same.

This area is also home to high-class jeweller Laura Lee andPaul Smith—by far the most successful British fashiondesigner—opened the rst shop in Floral Street in CoventGarden in 1979, now he has a whole string of shops there.



Another shop worth mentioning is Aram (110 Drury Lane),which has ve oors with furniture classics by names suchas Eileen Gray, Charles & Ray Eames and Alvar Aaltoalongside the latest pieces by Ron Arad, Jasper Morrisonand Philippe Starck.

Selfridges

Selfridges has gone throughmany transformations overthe years and has nowemerged as the quintessentialLondon luxury departmentstore, combining tradition with

innovation. Don’t miss Superbrands, the new menswear department on the rst oor, with clothes from all theleading brands and with a football-inspired interior.

Savile Row

Savile Row has long been synonymous with English customized tailoring. It is no longer the old-fashionedgentlemen’s club it used to be, thanks to a new generationof innovative tailors, including Richard James and OzwaldBoateng. For shirts, ties, hats and handmade shoes, headfor Jermyn Street in St. James behind Piccadilly.

Chelsea, South Kensington and Knightsbridge

This is the area mostly known for its high-end fashion shopping. On Sloane Street in Knightsbridge you’ll ndPrada, Gucci, Giorgio Armani, Dolce et Gabbana, Fendi andmany more. In recent years it has also attracted a lot ofexcellent furniture and interior design shops.

Among the best are B & B Italia’s cathedral-like shop at 250 Brompton Road in South Kensington, designed by thefamous minimalist architect John Pawson. Nearby is TheConran Shop at 8 Fulham Road, founded by Sir TerenceConran and one of the rst lifestyle shops in London. If

you’re feeling hungry, have some oysters in the BibendumOyster Bar, located to the left of the main entrance.

Make sure to visit David Gill at 60 Fulham Road. He’s the rst stop for London’s leading interior designers anddisplays exquisite pieces such as ceramics by JeanCocteau and Pablo Picasso, mirrors by Line Vautrin, andsilver furniture by Bonetti. A bit further down the road, atNo 175-177, you will nd Kelly Hoppen, currently Britain’sleading interior design guru with several books to hername.

There are also plenty of markets in London, some of the most known being Camden Market, Covent Garden Marketand Old Spitalelds Market. If you have time to spare, youshould denitely visit one of these local markets, you won’tregret it.
