Camen- the place to rediscover your childish side
Review of Camden Town Market, London by arwhale

Advantages: Tube station right next to the market, diverse range of clothes/accesories and unusual gadgets, friendly people, addictive place to go.
Disadvantages: Some stall holders tend to pester you a lot if you're looking at their products, also there are a few dodgy people around (not many though).

Covent Garden, London
Review of Covent Garden, London by helen666

Advantages: Lots of places to shop, indoors or outdoors! (and nice Waffles!)
Disadvantages: The usual disadvantages of London (pickpockets, traffic, crowded, etc.)

I've been to Covent Garden a couple of times, once a few years ago and once a few days ago, and I am still yet to have explored all of it! Not only is there the huge marketplace but it is also surrounded by lots of other shops too. The famous market ... Read review

I love Harrods...I always find the staff are really nice, polite and helpful and call you madam and give you free samples. by Katieshaz
The only time i go to Harrods is at Christmas. I can just about afford to buy a bauble for the tree. Something special. You never mentioned the dress code they are fussy. The food hall is very famous and off course the little green bags! Linda by teacherofhooch

Review of Fortenum and Mason, London by Tiger_Eyes

Advantages: QUALITY & QUANTITY
Disadvantages: -- NONE --

I thought I’d write about one of my favourite haunts in London: Fortnum & Masons of Piccadilly. +++ WHAT’S IN STORE FOR YOU: +++ The very name of Fortnum & Masons evokes images of a bygone era in my mind’s eye and visiting the place is a treat wheth ... Read review

Really well written, detailed and very informative review there indeed. Great Pictures too............Roy......... by n13roy
I have only been there once and I only thought they had the downstairs food hall, never realised they had loads of other floors. They have great customer service though - I bought something which was out of date, they refunded me immediately and sent me a bottle of champagne by way of an apology. I will be going back next weekend to get some goodies for Christmas. Great review x by Liney_1973

Review of Oxford Street, London by LittleKenyon

Advantages: Some good shops all in one place
Disadvantages: You have to be very cautious

I'm very proud of my parents today. They finally let their 'little girl' make a trip to London on the train with her friends. That's right, no parental supervision, shock horror! After making our quick stop off at Covent Garden, somewhere I am fairly fami ... Read review

To be honest I don't like Oxford Street except for Selfridges! And why is Bond Street tube called that when it leads onto Oxford Street? It always confuses me. I prefer Kings Road :-) Great op. by Katieshaz

Review of Carnaby Street, London by PrincessGem

Advantages: one-off shops you won't find anywhere else
Disadvantages: commercial crap in between, not what it was!

I'm going to London with my friends 2 weeks today and ever since reading your 'London Calling' article at cq.net I decided that we must go to Carnaby Street. I mainly want to go for 'B' and 'David & Goliath', plus I know that movie memorabilia store you just mentioned will totally appeal to one friend in particular. Plus we'll be in Regent Street in Hamleys of course.. we're just a bunch of big kids really. Do you have any idea how we could get to Carnaby Street through the underground? Great op!! Love, Zara xxx by LittleKenyon
I haven't been to Carnaby Street for years and years - you brought back lovely memories of my lst trip - glad it still has that special atmosphere :) by raeisthehippychick

when I die, heaven will be like Selfridges
Review of Selfridges, London by PrincessGem

Advantages: everything you want (and can't afford) under one roof
Disadvantages: never enough time or money to enjoy it properly

I moved to London two years ago and, like many, had visions of shopping in Harrods and lunching in Covent Garden and going to see a musical or a film in Leicester Square. Of course once you move there, you don't do any of those things because it's too exp ... Read review

Review of Harrods, London by m_kingdom

Advantages: Superb selection of everything, good service

Harrods set out to contain the best of everything under one roof. Harrods has successfully managed to do this - from food to fashion, anything worth having is there. Many people are put off from firstly the image that it is only for tourists, and is ver ... Read review
