Covent Garden
Looking for trendy fashion items or unusual souvenirs? Covent Garden is the ideal location. Explore Neal Street to find the latest fashion items and browse Covent Garden Market for artisan goods. Make sure you don't miss Floral Street, Monmouth Street, St Martin's Courtyard and Seven Dials, the ultimate chic shopping spots. Make a stop at Neal's Yard, an ultra-colorful street in the capital, where you can take sublime selfies.
Greenwich
If you are more into markets and crafts, then explore Greenwich Market. You will be able to make real finds of craft objects (Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and weekends) and antiques and collectibles (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays). Need some shopping therapy? Head to ICON Outlet at The O2, on the Greenwich Peninsula, to benefit from special offers on products from major chains like Adidas and Calvin Klein.
Knightsbridge
Tourists flock to Knightsbridge and Brompton Road to shop in the boutiques and department stores. The area is known for its Harrods and Harvey Nichols stores, but you will also find designer boutiques along Sloane Street, or ready-to-wear stores like H&M, Topshop, Tommy Hilfiger and Ted Baker.
Notting Hill
Famous around the world thanks to its eponymous film, Notting Hill is full of small shops selling vintage clothing, antiques, original gifts, books and organic products. Don't miss the Portobello Road Market, open every day of the year, to enjoy more than a kilometer and a half of colorful stalls. Not far away, Westbourne Grove is full of more upscale boutiques such as Goop and Sézane.
Savile Row
Savile Row is known around the world for its very British bespoke suits. Henry Poole & Co, to whom we owe the invention of the tuxedo, still takes action at No. 15. There are other big names there, such as Gieves & Hawkes, H Huntsman & Sons and Ozwald Boateng, not forgetting the Abercrombie & Fitch flagship store.
