London is arguably the shopping capital of the world. . The world famous Harrod’s and the boutiques of Bond Street are perfect for those who love their labels, the bustling Oxford Street offers all your high street favourites and more and Kings Road is the area of choice for those looking for exclusive and unique designs.
But it’s not just about clothes. Tottenham Court Road is a gadget lover’s paradise with shop after shop offering the latest electronics at discount prices. Don’t forget to haggle, though!
If you are a foodie, then you shouldn’t miss Borough Market. Open to the public on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, the market is London’s oldest food market and has a well deserved reputation for being the finest food market in Britain. No matter what you fancy, from seaweed fed Orkney lamb or delicate patisserie to firey chillies and fresh, organic fruit and vegetables, Borough Market is one of London’s gems.
Finally, Marylebone High Street, five minutes from Marylebone Station, has an eclectic mix of shops from boutiques to book sellers and all at a far more relaxed pace than nearby Oxford Street.
