Liberty reviews
Just spent a wonderful morning in Liberty - great breakfast. The store is better than ever and buzzing with confidence. Without doubt the best big boutique in London. The superb taste of the buyers and display team is a credit to them!

Don't waste your hard-earned cash in the cafe. The High Tea, extortionately priced at over £18.00 pp, was very poor quality. The bread for the sandwiches was cheap, mass-produced and dry, the 'egg maynonnaise' was made with cheap salad cream and had no egg to speak of, the ham was of the cheap, processed variety, and the cucumber was not only limp, it was also dangerously salty. The cakes were tasteless and uninspired - the ginger cake was clearly McVitie's! The service was unattentive, for which privilege they added 12.5% to the bill.
The scones and rose petal jam were delicious but, overall, the Liberty Tea is hugely overrated and massively overpriced. Your expectation of the exquisite 'English teatime' will surely result in disappointment.

A fantastic place to shop, where you won't feel crowded or rushed. It's not too big and not too small. The shop assistants are friendly but not pushy. I've bought clothes, beauty products and furniture from here and I've signed up for the Liberty's card (not the credit card) to collect points and receive vouchers. I love shopping here!

Yes! Liberty is homely, unpretentious and the service great. As somebody else wrote, Selfridges can be brash and the service unfriendly. I go to London every year and used to always shop at Dickens and Jones, which is now closed. Liberty (I never considered it before, for some reason) is now my favourite and regular stop.

Menswear selection excellent but the service poor (all fashion students that do their best to ignore you) - such a shame, since it has the best selection of Ann Dem and Dries in London.

The best store in London without doubt for the discerning shopper. So much to choose from. On another topic why are they leaving the Regent Street site and consolidating the store into the Tudor building?

The jewel of London's department stores! Traditional feel but fresh faced through the designers it carries.

Long live Liberty! They have the most fabulous buyer, you could shop for your grandmother and your ubertrendy fashionista boyfriend and your colleagues all in the same morning, and then have a divine cup of tea and a sit-down in what looks more like your aunt's front room.
I so love shopping here, it doesn't pretend at all, just has beautiful things all over the place, without looking at all messy. The home department feels at once like a Moroccan souk in the middle of Sir John Soane's house, and the fashion is extremely well selected, I couldn't recommend coming here enough.
Also where I get all of my Christmas decorations!

A classic gem of a department store, while Selfridges hits the mark and covers all areas of best taste, Liberty dares to be individual and you can rely on their buyer's eye.

The best department store in the world, everything is so unique. The store is beautifully laid out and just a wonderful experience. This is a store I couldn't live without.

One of the best bits of Liberty is the newish cosmetics department in the corner building on Regent's St. Perfect for a pre-night out facial 'touch-up' as there are lots of good brands with testers easily accessible. Assistants are helpful without being pushy.

Personally I don't fancy a lot of the Liberty designs but it's certainly worth a visit for tourists - there's a historic feel to the store that's been lost from many of the other department stores nearby.
