Shopping
Europe's busiest shopping street
London is a shopper's paradise and one of the best places to go is Oxford Street. Selfridges, one of the world's first department store, is here. There are at least four other major stores and European's largest music shop. In December the Christmas lights are always switched on by a famous person. Nearby in Regent Street is Hamleys. This is the biggest toy store in the world, opened in 1881.
All things for all people
A fashionable area for shopping is Kensington High Street. You can buy clothes, cosmetics and accessories here and there's an organic food supermarket. Harrods in Knightbridge has 330 different departments and sells absolutely everything, from electronic goods and jewellery to pet food and furniture. The food hall is spectacular and if you feel hungry, you can choose from 32 different restaurants.
Markets
You can't leave London without visiting a market. One of the oldest is Borough market. Walk around and look at the fresh fish, bakeries, and fruit and vegetable sellers. You can also buy specialist food, like cheese, pork pies and chutney. For antiques, jewellery or collector’s items go to Portobello Road on a Saturday. You never know what you will find. If you like browsing for jewellery and gifts, there is nothing better than Covent Garden market. There are lots of cafes here and always some kind of street entertainment.
Outside the city
Tired of city life? Most medium—sized towns in Britain have regular farmers' markets. Here local producers sell their food, drink and handicrafts—they will usually let you try the bread, cakes or wine before you buy. One market town called Totnes even introduced its own currency. Now seventy local businesses accept it.
