Shopping in London is like shopping in any huge major city : You can find everything, from the 70s clothes of Camden Market to the very upmarket shops in London's west-end.
Let's talk about a few of the big ones you might want to visit :
Harrods of course, outstanding luxury shop with a strict dress code. Even if you can't afford it's luxury goods, you can go in and visit Harrod's a bit like a museum. At Harrod's, you can buy anything. Just ask. Even an elephant, if you can afford it.
For the normal (I mean the non mega rich) people like me (and you probably ?), head for the ground level where you can find affordable things like branded toothbrushes, teddy bears, etc.
87-135 Brompton Road. Tube: Knightbridge
