London boasts some of the finest and best-known department stores in the world. Fashion, cosmetics and accessories are a fixture in every store. In Harrods, the food halls alone are simply breathtaking, but then so is every one of the Knightsbridge store’s 329 departments.

Liberty in Regent Street is a great place to visit, which houses a blend of antiques and cutting-edge design, in a truly unique style. In Selfridges, you’ll find pure, undiluted style with some seriously fabulous fashions, cosmetics and homewares - it’s a must-see, must-have palace for the label-conscious.

Oxford Street has a host of department stores , like House of Fraser, John Lewis and Debenhams. There is also Fortnum & Mason in Piccadilly , which is perhaps the quaintest department store in London and worth a visit for the atmosphere alone. It's a treasure trove of luxury goods, the celebrated food hall is fantastic and its hampers justifiably world-famous.
