Are you thinking of options you could explore this summer? Is it that your vacations are drawing near and you do not know what would engage you suitably for this while? If you truly want to relax and have the time of your life, fly to London and take in all that the city has to offer.
The capital city of the United Kingdom happens to be one of the best shopping destinations of the world. It can practically be called a fashion hub and this city definitely sets trends in the world of international fashion. The greatest shopping area in London is perhaps the King’s Road. It is leisurely and you can find the best boutiques, bars and restaurants here. King’s Road has been the centre of attraction for all fashion fiestas since the 1960’s. Though less of a trendsetter now, King’s Road still manages to stand tall in the eyes of the fashion conscious.
The next best shopper’s paradise in London is Piccadilly. It has got some of the finest eateries and shops with unusual items on display. If there is a shop that deals exclusively in fountain pens, there is another that has the best hair brushes on display, yet another that specializes in cashmere sweaters. Piccadilly is a safe shopping haven since there is perpetual police patrol there to ensure no untoward incidents take place.
If you are visiting London make sure to visit Savile Row, a place where you get to behold the finest tailoring in the world. Tailors like Kenneth Brown, Steed and Gieves & Hawkes are tailoring houses that have been on Savile Row for several generations and have dressed statesmen to celebrities. Ede & Ravenscroft is the only tailoring house that makes ceremonial clothes.
The greatest wine is what you want do not forget to make a trip to St. James’s Street. In fact this area houses two of the finest wine merchants in the country- Berry Bros & Rudd and Justerini & Brooks. Truefitt & Hill, one of the finest cobblers and Lock’s, the celebrated hatters are both situated in this area.
The best of the high- end stores and top- notch boutiques make Knightsbridge a household name. Famed department stores like Harrods and Harvey Nichols are situated in Knightsbridge. Apart from this there are very good eateries which you would not like giving a miss once you go there.
Chic boutiques and elegant cafeterias are what you are looking for then Brompton Road is the place for you to hang out at. There are stores like Jigsaw, Issy Miyake and The Conran Shop that actually redefine the true sense of shopping.
Another shopping venue in London that can actually take your breath away is Kensington High Street. Starting from great clothing to eye-catching accessories this place has it all. If it’s a woman’ clothing shop is what you are looking for head straight towards Kookai and if you want to browse through the top designer labels then there is no place better than Hype Design Forum. But the show stealer is perhaps the Marks & Spencer store that will keep you hooked (to the displays of course!) for hours.
