Matches

Matches, Ledbury Rd W11

There are a number of Matches stores scattered around London but each store operates like an independent shop. Staff do approach you a lot in this shop, some may find this lovely others may just find it annoying.

Matches is what I would call a ‘safe’ designer boutique, you wouldn’t find anything over-the-top here. 

Hoxton Boutique

Hoxton Boutique, 2 Hoxton Street

This really takes the personality of the people that live in Hoxton, they knew what there were doing. It may not be the most luxurious experience, but it is really fun, if I can call it that…

In-your-face fashion that has a few subtle parts. 

Oxfam Boutique

Oxfam Boutique, 245 Westbourne Grove W11

Not your typical Oxfam store, in fact it’s totally different. Recycled fashion that has also been revamped as well as the shop itself. 

This shop really shows how we are trying to become more green, in the current situation but in an amazing way.

Start

Start, Rivington Street/Charlotte Road E1

The staff are lovely and friendly here and they don’t mind you having a look around even if they know you can’t afford anything, I’m sure they are very used to it here with there amazing designer range, Miu Miu to Marc by Marc Jacobs. 

This store has the labels like Selfridges and Liberty but it has a pleasurable shopping environment that makes you want to go back.

Bluebird

Bluebird, 350 Kings Road SW3

This lovely art deco style shop is beautiful, its based in the former home of the bluebird food market. This store has primarily womenswear clothes but is bringing in a bit of menswear and childrenswear here and there. 

Bluebird brings amazing collaborations that will continue to make this part of west London worth a visit.

The Convenience Store

The Convenience Store, 1a Hazelwood Tower W10

With its art gallery vibe and deconstructed shopfit, the luxury shop vows to challenge other shop out there, it really brings something different.

Creating a unique shopping environment of hand-picked exclusivity.

Urban Outfitters

Urban Outfitters, 38 Kensington High Street W8

Spaced out lovely store, same sort of prices as Topshop, but you feel a lot more relaxed looking here, you don’t feel like you’re in a rush you can easily browse, I love how that they also focus there thoughts on the music in this shop.

This store brings a pleasant twist to high street stores
