Harvey Nichols, London
While Harrods remains a popular destination for visiting tourists, local fashion enthusiasts prefer Harvey Nichols, affectionately known as "Harvey Nicks", a store that was once a favorite of Princess Diana and later frequented by Duchess Kate. The women's clothing and accessory sections are truly exceptional, showcasing renowned designers like Tom Ford, Loewe, Roland Mouret, Valentino, Tory Burch, and an array of other esteemed fashion labels. The furniture and home decor offerings are equally exquisite, albeit on the pricier side, although they do become more affordable during the biannual sales in January and July.
The 5th floor of Harvey Nichols is a veritable haven for food enthusiasts, housing a gourmet grocery store, an upscale bar (the ideal spot for socializing and being seen), an outdoor terrace, and a vibrant café. To ensure you look as fresh as your newly acquired purchases, the Beauty Lounge offers a menu of treatments featuring renowned brands like La Prairie, Sisley, and La Mer. These treatments encompass makeovers, LED facials, cryotherapy, thermotherapy, laser procedures, as well as hair, nail, and eyebrow styling stations.
