The Postcodes

Each district trades in something different

London's wealth gravitates to a few key areas — Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Chelsea. Each offers something distinct, from couture flagships to discreet, members-only luxury. Here's what each is for.

01 · Mayfair

Bond Street

The gold standard for high-end retail. Old and New Bond Street together host the world's most covetable names — couture flagships and the great jewellery houses side by side.

Chanel · Hermès · Louis Vuitton · Cartier · Dior · Tiffany & Co · Bulgari
02 · Mayfair

Mount Street

Discreet, modern luxury for those in the know. Quieter than Bond Street, more design-led, and increasingly the address for the brands the fashion crowd actually watches.

Modern luxury · design-led boutiques · in-the-know labels
03 · Knightsbridge / Chelsea

Sloane Street

Internationally recognised as one of the world's most exclusive shopping destinations — an elegant catwalk of iconic luxury brands with unparalleled service, away from the tourist trail.

Tom Ford · Versace · Valentino · Burberry · Giorgio Armani
Under One Roof

The great department stores

If you'd rather not walk the districts, London's landmark stores put nearly every luxury house under a single roof — each with its own character.

Knightsbridge

Harrods & Harvey Nichols

Department-store grandeur at its most theatrical. Harrods for the full spectacle and food halls; Harvey Nichols for a sharper fashion edit.

West End

Selfridges

The most forward-thinking luxury destination in the city right now — home to the new 40 Duke members' space, and consistently ahead on emerging names.

Piccadilly / Regent St

Liberty & Fortnum's

Liberty for its Tudor-revival building and curated British design; Fortnum & Mason for gifting, hampers and its famous food and wine halls.

The 2026 shift: London luxury is moving away from transactional retail toward experience-first destinations — private shopping suites, members' spaces, appointment-only rooms. The opening of 40 Duke at Selfridges is the clearest signal. For the big houses, book a personal-shopping appointment ahead rather than walking in.
How to Shop It Well

A day at the top, planned

The efficient route

Base yourself in Mayfair

Bond Street, Mount Street and Savile Row are all walkable from one another. Stay central and you can cover the best of it on foot in a day.

The insider move

Book appointments

The flagships and department stores offer private personal-shopping suites. For serious purchases, an appointment gets you service, privacy and access you won't get walking in.

The practical bit

Plan the getting-around

Bags mount up fast. A pre-booked car to carry purchases back to your hotel between districts turns a tiring day into an easy one.
