London for New Yorkers [shop]

Lauren Rubin Tiley: Like Bergdorf's? You will LOVE Liberty. Send your man to the Apple Store across the st for the free wifi and spend a few hrs absorbing the best picks of English style.

Lauren Rubin Tiley: Next to Liberty, or check out the one in Covent Garden. A must for work-friendly clothes in minimalist Euro style. This is H&M's upmarket spinoff and full of well designed clothes so prices are great.

Lauren Rubin Tiley: Classic English/Colonial homeware. Great find on otherwise mall-ish Kings Road.

Lauren Rubin Tiley: One street of landed hipster beauty. Great bags for men & women. Modern English.

Lauren Rubin Tiley: Ye olde covered arcade. Classic in grandeur and full of signature British jewels, shoes, and Penhaligon's. Take a stroll through here and imagine you are oh so very Victorian.

Lauren Rubin Tiley: Tiny shop, huge scents. Original perfumes. Definitely worth the £££

Lauren Rubin Tiley: You could spend hours just looking at the wall of jam on the main floor, but head upstairs to discover unique bath, kitchen, tea, and garden accessories.

Lauren Rubin Tiley: Looking for that perfect city-to-country look? You have found it here. Style-appropriate boutique in Notting Hill.

Lauren Rubin Tiley: If you're really daring, you'd buy an exclusive Liberty-Barbour jacket. Or just go here for a perfect all-season sturdy jacket in true British style.

Lauren Rubin Tiley: Go to the Food Hall. No, wait - the shoe dept that makes Saks look like a corner deli. Actually, check out the Pedlar's shop in the basement. But don't forget to buy a product in signature yellow!

Lauren Rubin Tiley: Classic English workwear for men. A few stores down is their outlet where you can find great buys. Sort of like a British J.Crew.

Lauren Rubin Tiley: On your way to or from Mews or Hush, stop in here for discount Paul Smith. Great buys.

Lauren Rubin Tiley: If you buy a British cookbook, which is always a good idea, remember to buy a scale as well to measure the ingredients in grams.

Lauren Rubin Tiley: Independent designers. Expensive but fun browse.

Lauren Rubin Tiley: Buy an umbrella, you'll need it, from this classic family run umbrella shop.

Lauren Rubin Tiley: London's best independent and well curated bookshop, sort of the London equivalent of the Strand without the miles of books or jumble sale environment.

Lauren Rubin Tiley: Honest clothing, good value for men & women. And worth a trip to Lambs' Conduit Street anyway.

Lauren Rubin Tiley: For clothing that should be seen and not heard. A more subtle Paul Smith.

Lauren Rubin Tiley: Kind of perfect everyday dresses if you're going to splash out on something special. Also can be found on Grafton Street off Bond Street in Mayfair.

Lauren Rubin Tiley: Walk through the pretty courtyard to this fun shop and try on a few dresses you probably shouldn't buy. It has a Barneys feel to it.

Lauren Rubin Tiley: If you have time to make the journey, its worth it to bring home the real thing from the old factory.
