There are a quite a few famous department stores in London – Harrod’s, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols…and I would have loved to visit them all! Alas, I only really had time for one – so it had to be Liberty of London. I’m a big fan of their floral prints and the store itself was gorgeous, both inside and out. I didn’t take any pictures inside but the beautiful floral section and incredible Tudor-style architecture of the building (circa 1924) got me clicking away!

If you get a chance, I highly recommend popping into Liberty of London. It felt unique as far as department stores go, with beautiful architectural details and a well-curated, beautifully displayed selection. Liberty was a pleasure to peruse and I definitely hope to go back!
