  3. Garrard

    Creative director Jade Jagger helped turn Britain's old-fashioned crown jeweller into somewhere funky enough for Missy Elliot to advertise its bling. Jewel-encrusted clothing and gifts are sold upstairs.

  7. Space Nk

    It's always a bit intimidating to face the glowing skin of SPACE NK's shop assistants/skin-care experts, but it's what gives so many people the confidence in the products - the shop stocks Dr Hauschka, Eve Lom, Chantecaille, Kiehl's or Phyto, and anti-ageing ranges like 24/7 and Dr Sebagh. Men's products range from Anthony to Kiehl's for men. There are Space NK branches across the city.

  8. Tatty Devine

    Brilliant duo Harriet Vine and Rosie Wolfenden make hip and witty jewellery that's become the favourite of many young Londoners. Their original designs feature record earrings and plectrum bracelets (that high-street stores have ripped off since), pea necklaces, knitted stilettos, and key rings that look like crinkle-cut crisps. Perspex name necklaces (made to order; around £25 ) are also a treat. There's a Soho shop.

The couple met while studying at St Martin's School of Art more than 20 years ago and have been together ever since.
