Shopping
in London
London
has many large department stores, which sell everything: shoes and
shirts, paper and perfume, fur coats and frying pans. The most
expensive department store is Harrods in Knightsbridge. You can buy almost
anything in Harrods, and you know you are getting the best. Twice a year, in
January and july, Harrods has a “sale”. Some things are almost half price, and
there are thousands of bargains. On the first days of the sale the shop
is very crowded.
The smartest and most
expensive shops are in Knightsbridge, but more people come to Oxford
Street, London’s most popular shopping center. The street is more than a mile
long. There are several big department stores in Oxford Street. The best known
are Selfridges, John Lewis and D. H. Evans.
Oxford Street has the most
shops, but in some ways King’s Road in Chelsea is more fun. This is where
fashionable young Londoners buy their clothes in the many small “boutiques”.
Marks and Spenser is a very
well – known department store selling clothes, food and other goods for home.
Their clothes are generally considered to be of good quality and at reasonable
prices, but not include the most modern and most extreme fashions.
There are several big
street markets in London, and many small ones. Some markets open only one day a
week. Go to the Portobello Road on Saturday, or to Petticoat Lane on Sunday. Covent Garden market is open every day. Come here for antiques, old clothes, hand – made
jewellery and many other special things.
