Jarndyce

The handsome antiquarian bookshop is best for 18th- and 19th-century British literature.
Jessops Classic Photographica

Enter this shop from Pied Bull’s Yard, a camera collector’s haven, and browse among old Leicas and Hasselblads.
John Lewis

This store has a large and loyal clientele, with departments ranging from kitchenware and haberdashery through furniture, fashion and fabrics to electrical goods. Staff are informed, prices are excellent and the quality is guaranteed.
John Lewis

This sophisticated department store prides itself on being “never knowingly undersold”. If you can prove another shop sells the same item for less, you pay the lower price. It has a thoughtful gifts department on the ground floor, and the staff are both helpful and knowledgeable.
Jubilee Market

Adjacent to the Piazza, this market sells antiques on Monday and crafts at the weekend. It also sells clothes and tacky souvenirs the rest of the week.
Knutz

Zany, rude, fun and childish, here you’ll find a great choice of jokes and costumes. A shop for parties and for unusual souvenirs.
Liberty

This handsome, half-timbered building dates from 1925 and its fine wood-floored and panelled interior is as much a part of the shopping experience as the exclusive goods it contains. Long associated with the Arts and Crafts movement, it employed artists such as William Morris to design its fabrics. Great for men’s and women’s fashions and original gifts.
Liberty

One of London’s most appealing department stores, Liberty sells cutting-edge contemporary design in clothing, jewellery and household items. Opened in 1875, to specialise in goods and silks from the Empire, the shop remains famous for its “Liberty Print” fabric.
Llewellyn Alexander

This art gallery has changing, quality exhibitions, notably in the summer.
London Beatles Store

Every kind of souvenir commemorating Britain’s most famous band is on sale here. The Elvis Presley shop is next door.
