Shop where everything old
is new again

Lined with flagship outposts of such major brand names as Topshop, Marks and Spencers, and Selfridges, Oxford and Regent Streets are London's most famous shopping destinations. But wander off the beaten path into East London and you'll find a trove of independent boutiques, where emerging talents rub shoulders with more established jewelers, milliners, glassworks, haberdashers, tailors, and booksellers. Take the Tube to Liverpool Street and get out and explore the teeming markets at Spitafields and Petticoat Lane (open on Sundays) or just immerse yourself in the vibrant, multicultural street life of East London.

The Original London Walks are an economical and enjoyable way to get to know London. From the Tate Galleries to the V&A, many of London's best museums offer free entry. All that sightseeing making you hungry? Supermarkets and smaller convenience shops brim with fresh fruit, tasty sandwiches and other great to-go options that will be light on your wallet. Pick up smart cards like the Oyster Card for London transport or the Great British Heritage Pass, which allows you entry to hundreds of attractions. Both are available at our Online Shop.
