[quote=Anonymous]It does depend on what you're looking for.

For most Londoners, Selfridges and John Lewis are probably the top two (John Lewis is a national chain but a very good one). Of the two, Selfridges has the most for tourists and visitors as John Lewis is for everyday living.

Liberty is a lovely, charming store in a lovely, charming building. They have lots of little knicks and knacks for sale along with clothes. The design aesthetic is artsy. They have their own label of women's shirts based on famous Liberty patterns from the past. My mother loves them, younger people might not. Fabulous scarf collection.

Harrods is worth a prowl if just to see the extravagance and the food halls (the food hall is no better than Selfridges but it is stunning from a visual perspective). But it is dominated by Arabs and Russians with very deep pocketbooks and the sheer touristy nature of the store now means most Londoners and British have written it off so it's no longer the beloved British department store it once was.

Harvey Nicks used to be renowned for contemporary high quality fashion. It still is, but the younger set now prefer individual boutiques and Peter Jones in Sloane Square. [/quote]
