Shopping
For something ‘different’ you can’t go wrong having a look at the shops in
Covent Garden Market. Handmade bags, tea shirts, ceramics, jewellery,
teddy bears, vintage militaria - it’s a really eclectic mix. The market itself
hosts different stalls on different days - antiques on Monday, on Tuesday
to Friday stalls offer household goods, clothes, food and gifts, and on
Saturdays and Sundays it’s the turn of arts and crafts. Never a dull moment.
For clothes and fashion shops not too far away, Long Acre, King Street,
James Street and Floral Street have a wide selection. Covent Garden is
the nearest tube station but it is quite walkable from Burleigh Mansions. In
that area you will find many of the well known designer brands plus a few
that you probably won’t have heard of. Put on some comfortable shoes and
have a good wander around the area, have an adventure!
If you are in search of a more mainstream and bustling retail experience
Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road are both popular shopping
destinations and provide fashion, technology and furniture to the masses.
If you are after a department store, John Lewis, House Of Fraser and
Selfridge’s in Oxford Street should fit the bill. Don’t forget the luxurious
Liberty’s at the top of Regent Street, where Regent Street meets Oxford Street
- always worth a visit.
