LONDON'S SHOPS From stunningly unique fashion and bespoke suits to low-cost everyday wear, from exquisite hand-made jewellery to cheap souvenirs, from things to make the connoisseurs drool to a strange selection of bric-a-brac, London is the shopping centre for Europe, if not the world. Here we have the captital's main shopping areas, its specialist shops and its street and trade markets, all of which make London a uniquely exciting place to shop. The city of London has surprisingly few famous shops - the capital's well-known shopping areas are mostly in the West End, with such world-famous names as Oxford Street, Regent Street, Bond Street, Piccadilly and Knightsbridge. In some cases, shops along a particular road specialise in certain types of goods, as in Charing Cross Road and Edgware Road. Other rods have a more general mixture of shops, where, in a short distance, almost anything can be purchased. London also boasts a wide range of specialist shops. OXFORD STREET The busiest stretch is between Marble Arch and Oxford Circus, and not far from Marble Arch is Marks & Spencer's largest branch, a favourite with shoppers from all over the world for reasonably-priced good quality clothing and other goods. Nearby is Selfridges, London's second-largest department store and especially popular for its food hall, restaurants, kitchenware and cosmetics departments. Other department stores along Oxford Street include D H Evans, Debenhams, Bournes and John Lewis, which has a slogan 'never knowingly undersold', and has a reputation for competitively priced household goods and fabrics. Other inexpensive clothing stores include British Home Stores and C & A, while nearly every fashion and shoe store chain has at least one branch in Oxford Street. The HMV record shop with its four floors of records and tapes is the largest in Europe, and an interesting shop just outside Oxford Circus Underground station is the Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Association, displaying Wedgwood pottery, glass and other gifts. REGENT STREET BOND STREET PICCADILLY Piccadilly itself was a fashionable area in the 19th-century, and the shops here reflect it. Almost opposite the Royal Academy is Fortnun & Mason which stocks the finest food and drink as well as a variety of other goods. Swaine, Ardeney, Brigg & Sons nearby is the place to go for high-quality leather goods, umbrellas and riding equipment. Burlington Arcade, off Piccadilly, has some of the most elegant small shops in London. where ties, woollen goods, and antique and modern jewellery can be bought. Simpson is a first-class tailor and outfitter in Piccadilly, but the well-heeled gentleman will buy his clothing in streets off either side of Piccadilly. He will have his shirts hand-made in Jermyn Street, and his suits supplied from a Savile Row or Sackville Street tailor. Those who can't afford such things will go to Moss Brothers, on King Street off the Strand, where men's and women's dress clothing for any occasion can be hired or bought.
