Miss Havisham's floaty dresses |
12 Upper Tachbrook Street Victoria London, London SW1V 1SH United Kingdom +44 20 7828 5752 |
Truly overflowing with intriguing garments - most of which appear to be Miss Havisham's cast-offs - this shop is chock-a-block. Choose from vintage, floaty, or white numbers that resemble bridalwear. The assemblage is so vast that the rails cannot possibly contain them all and floral dresses hang from the ceiling, and piles of clothing litter the floor. Be careful if you're catching a train at Victoria, as hours can pass quickly in transfixed timewarp. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Viva la difference |
10 Victoria Street London, London SW1 0NN United Kingdom +44 (0)20 7828 3592 http://www.etam.com/ |
The style at Etam smacks a bit of French youth. And so it should, as it is the British arm of the French clothing chain. Etam supplies trendy tops, skirts, trousers and accessories that every teen wants to own. In the same league as Miss Selfridge but not as flashy, tight and bright. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The shops present a vision of twee, country Britain, and stocks some very pretty gifts as well as history and nature books, beautifully illustrated placemats, and meads. It's also a good place to pick up knick-knacks for around the house and presents for children. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Top Shopping |
2 Greycoat Place London, London SW1P 1SB United Kingdom +44 (0)20 7222 4345 http://www.peterjones.co.uk/ |
A big name after Harrods and Selfridges, this department store is one of the more traditional shopping hubs in the city. After undergoing an extensive nip n'tuck, the venue has emerged as a chic hotspot for locals. An adults-only brasserie, strategically situated next to the fashion section caters to hungry bellies after a spree. Besides, the kid-friendly cafeteria with amazing views from the top floor will placate your noisy brood. From furnishings to electrical appliances and gifts to beauty products, this comprehensive spot has it all— but at a price, so don't expect any bargains here! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Affordable casual and business wear |
House of Frazer Victoria Street London, London SW1E 6QX United Kingdom +44 20 783 41234 http://www.principles.co.uk |
One of the basic ideas behind Principles is to create comfortable and well-fitting clothing at an affordable price. Their lines for women include a casualwear collection, designs by Amanda Wakeley, suits, and petites. Although they stock some more flamboyant designs and colours, Principles essentially favours solid colours and neutrals (black, whites and beiges) that never go out of fashion, making it an excellent place to stock up smart, versitile trousers, suits and tops. Men's lines include suits, dress shirts and casualwear. Principles has been attracting a more stylish crowd with its increasingly trendy collections. Review © 2007, Wcities |
