F
rom the world's oldest department
store-Jenners in Edinburgh-to one
of the world's most famous-Harrods
in London-Great Britain isn't shy about
showing off its fashionable side. Shopping
aficionados will feel like a kid in a candy
store as they shop for antiques in Bath;
discover Manchester's stylish street
trends; go digging for the perfect authentic
kilt along Edinburgh's Royal Mile; hunt for
vintage fashion in London's Old Spitalfields
Market; stroll along The Hayes, Cardiff's
most sophisticated strip with its designer
boutiques; and shop for one-of-a-kind
outfits in The Lanes in Brighton.
Here we highlight some of the hotspots
where clients can shop till they drop.
When it comes to Great Britain's
arcades, one of the most beautiful is the
Burlington Arcade. Located in London's
Mayfair district, it opened in 1819 and
favored by the cream of British society.
It's the city's longest covered shopping
arcade, housing over 40 specialist shops
and designer brands including Jimmy
Choo's only UK menswear store, and
House of Cashmere, selling the rare
vicuna cashmere. London is also home
to the "world's greatest shopping" store,
Selfridges; Oxford Street, for shoppers of
all ages; Notting Hill's Portobello Road
Market, ideal for those looking for unique
finds; and of course, the very popular
Camden Market, chock-full of stalls selling
all manner of items.
Beyond London, there's a world full
of delights for shopaholics. Some of the
must-sees include Glasgow's Princes
Square, one of Scotland's most upscale
shopping experiences; Bicester Village,
located only an hour from London in
Oxfordshire and "paradise found" for label
and bargain lovers; the design-centric
Bullring in Birmingham, with its unique
architecture; Brighton's The Lanes, with
its quirky shops along cobblestone streets;
and Victoria Square, where the most eyecatching element in this entertainment
and shopping district is the viewing dome,
offering panoramic views over Belfast.
Tell clients, too, to look out for Britain's
very own designers: Ted Baker, Vivienne
Westwood, Mulberry, Temperley London,
Radley, and the list truly goes on.
Did you know?
Whistling is forbidden in the
Burlington Arcade because
it was used by pickpockets
as coded signals in the 19th
century.
