We’ve
curated a selection of the best independent shops in
London
to help you find something unique, thoughtful and undeniably “them”
(we mean you).
shopping
GOOP
Notting Hill
Knowing its demographic all too well, the latest addition to
Westbourne Grove is in good company, plotted alongside 202,
Bodyism, Daylesford and others of that ilk. Scan a chic edit of key
sartorial items – from cashmere knits to double-breasted coats –
and homewares, plus jewellery by designers including Fernando Jorge
and Ariel Gordon.
shopping
18montrose
Kings Cross
Located on Granary Square, 18montrose boasts a collection of
garb that can contend with its uber cool neighbours at Central
Saint Martins. Stocking Stone Island, Maison Margiela and Rick
Owens, you’re likely leave here better dressed than you came.
Yeezys are mandatory.
shopping
Alex Eagle
Soho
Shop a finely honed edit of fashion, furniture, art, design,
photography, ceramics and rare books, all hand selected by creative
director Alex Eagle. From ceramic plates to pleated skirts,
homeopathy to VEJA sneakers, you’ll be glad you diverted to
Lexington Street.
