Shopping

London is one of the World's best shopping cities and offers something for every taste, style and budget. Oxford Street and its neighbouring streets are the most famous shopping areas in London, offering all of the department stores and high street chains. Knightsbridge which is the second most famous shopping area offers department stores such as the world famous Harrods and the upmarket and fashionable Harvey Nichols as well as a number of designer shops on nearby Sloane Street. For something slightly different Camden Market is always a good place to visit on a Sunday for clothes and handmade arts and crafts.
