My Favorite Places

Covent Garden

Visit, but do not shop at the touristy old market venue. Go to, but don’t shop at the touristy aged market venue. Instead broaden in to the little bit of side streets for a great deal of amazing fashion, and also go along Acre as well as Neal St for less chaotic high-street chains.

Oxford Street

if you’re looking for a bustling shopping street and the headquarters of the chain stores, this is the place to come: alongside massive H&M’s, Zara’s, Urban Outfitters and Top Shops are large department stores such as John Lewis, Debenhams and Selfridges.

Camden Market

Camden Market is packed with stalls and is enormously popular – visit during the week if you want a quieter vibe. The goods themselves can vary in quality, but there’s plenty of classic alternative gear here.

High Street Kensington

he less crowded, more salubrious alternative to Oxford St, this has all the high-street chains, plus trendy stores such as Miss Sixty and Urban Outfitters. Snap up antiques along Church St.

King’s Road

Here you’ll find an eclectic mix of trendy boutiques, unique labels, designer shops and high-street staples, alongside a vast array of cafes and eateries.

Knightsbridge

Few fashionable London districts exude exclusivity, prestige and glamour as strongly as Knightsbridge – recognised globally as one of the world’s top luxury shopping destinatio

Marylebone High Street

You’ll feel like you’re in a small town of its own along this quaint and elegant street, where homeware stores such as Cath Kidston are plenty.

St Martin's Courtyard

St Martin’s Courtyard is a beautiful open-air shopping and dining destination located in the heart of Covent Garden. This urban oasis offers an array of shops, restaurants and experiences.

Discover a unique mix of fashion, beauty, home and lifestyle shops, in the heart of Covent Garden. St Martin’s Courtyard is home to coveted designer brands, international flagship stores and independent boutiques

West End

London’s West End is the world’s top cultural, entertainment , shopping and dining destination, with a global mix of over 2,500 restaurants and bars, 2,000 shops, 40 renowned theatres, 30 museums and galleries, 17 Michelin-starred restaurants and seven tranquil green spaces.

Berwick Street
