London

Inside London's most iconic shops - the Harrods Food Halls, Liberty's Tudor building and Fortnum & Mason - plus Chinatown stops and honest impressions.

Some shops are sights in their own right. On this London wander we went inside three of the most famous shops in the world, Harrods, Liberty and Fortnum & Mason, to see what they’re actually like beyond the name.

We started with the legendary Harrods Food Halls: luxury tea selections, beautifully presented desserts, and displays that belong in a gallery. From there it was on to Liberty, whose Tudor-style building makes it feel more like a stately home than a department store, and then the historic Fortnum & Mason, famous above all for its tea and hampers.

Along the way we stopped by restaurants, shops and pubs, including spots in Chinatown, Marks and Spencer, and Westfield London, sharing honest impressions and the hidden details you only catch in person.

If you’re planning a London trip, all three stores are free to walk around and genuinely worth an hour each, treat them as museums where everything happens to be for sale.
