Fortnum and Mason (Department Store / Food Hall)

I'm a gourmand so Fortnum & Mason is where you'll find me when I'm not at La Fromagerie... Buy the Halen Mon smoked salt... now!

Liberty (Department Store / Lingerie Shop)
06 September 2005

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!

Harvey Nichols (Department Store)
06 September 2005

I am always pleased that there is no-one else at Balenciaga, I suppose the average patron of Harvey Nicks is more happy to peruse the racks at Matthew Williamson (quelle horreur). Also love Shu Uemura, the boy there is too sweet for words and I love him to bits.

Food market is brilliantly designed, and doesn't look at all tired despite being built in '92! Great layout and perfect for a local shop, but no specialties you couldn't find better elsewhere.
