Not long before I am on a plane, suitcases notably half-empty with room reserved for the trip back and multiple purchases!

Anyone have any must-shop places? I loved some of the sales stores and designers outlets last time, would love to find more of them. Also good markets etc for vintage?

Any recommendations appreciated! :D

Every part of London really :D

You have you shop in all 10 acres of Selfridges. Portobello Market for fashion and antiques. Camden Market for a bit of everything. Top Shop because it's damn amazing value for what they sell.

There's plenty of vintage to be found too. And the markets are great.

What we really have to do is find out about all the discount stores as well. That link has the likes of Burberry and Paul Smith, but there are others (such as Aquascutum) that I can't remember for the life of me!

For guys, a must visit is Gieves & Hawkes, and if you want something very rogue check out Smythson.

Must visits also include;
* Dunhill on Jermyn Street.
* Turnbull and Asser.
* Burberry (obviously)
* Church's Shoes if you're a guy and want to splash the cash on some of the finest quality shoes that the world has seen
* Paul Smith in Covent Garden (even to just see the layout of the store)
* Ted Baker (opposite Paul Smith)
* Rigby & Peller offers some great advice for underwear for the rogueettes
* Pringle
* Coco Ribbon
* Agent Provocateur
* The Royal Exchange
* Hackett

Non-Fashion:
* The Cinema Store if you're into films
* Coco de Mer (if you want the more exclusive, erotic wares)
* Hampstead Antique and Craft Emporium
* Admiral Vernon Antiques Market
* The Travel Bookshop

There also a pretty good list of factory outlets to be found here, here, and here.

Woah, that's heaps to go on! How did you find all that? Your googling skills must be far superior to mine ;) hehe.

I absolutely love London! One of my fav cities by far. For vintage there's this one store in camden town called "rocket". Some excellent stuff for men and women. Loads of second hand record stores and pawn shops about too that have some of the best deals.
