Fortnum & Mason
The byword for quality and service from a bygone era, steeped in 300 years of tradition. It is particularly noted for its old-world basement food hall, where Britain's elite come for their marmite and bananas.

C
Selfridges
The funkiest and most vital of London's one-stop shops, where fashion runs the gamut from street to formal. The food hall is unparalleled, and the cosmetics hall the largest in Europe.

Marks & Spencer
Marks 'n' Sparks - to its close friends - is known as Britain's most reliable department store. Whether you're after basic clothing or a meal from their great pre-prepared range, these stores won't let you down. The Manchester store is a whopping 23,000 sq m (247,480 sq ft), the largest in the UK, after being re-built on the site of an IRA bombing.

Peter Jones
The slightly more upmarket brother of John Lewis, Peter Jones is now competitive with Selfridges and Harvey Nicks. Upmarket china, furnishings and gifts are its forte, though it stocks accessories and cosmetics, too. The Top Floor (and that’s where it’s at) is a restaurant-cafe-bar with stunning views.

Liberty
An irresistible blend of contemporary styles and indulgent pampering in a mock-Tudor fantasyland of carved dark wood.

Harvey Nichols
The king of British department stores has an elegant presence on fashionista row. The 2nd-floor restaurant is excellent and even has a wine list of more than 400 different wines.

John Lewis
John Lewis ‘Never knowingly undersold’ is the motto of this store, whose range of household goods, fashion and luggage is better described as reliable rather than cutting edge. Strong points include its fabrics department.
