In London there are so many different places to go shopping. There are of course the popular shopping areas in central London or, if you like everything under one roof, shopping centres like Westfield in Shepherd’s Bush and Stratford. However if you prefer your shopping a little less busy, try visiting one of these men’s boutiques for something a bit different.

Duke Street Emporium

The Duke Street Emporium combines iconic brand Jigsaw with The Shop At Bluebird and has a mixture of pieces from both stores all under one roof. For menswear you have Jigsaw Men and the designer brands from Bluebird, such as Orlebar Brown and Filson. Check out the grooming range from The Gentle-Man Range and chill out in the Fernadez & Wells in-store cafe with a coffee.

Woodhouse

The Woodhouse store has been in Notting Hill since 1975 and has an array of menswear over two floors. The boutique stocks leading brands and labels including Armani Jeans, Hackett, Levi’s and Lacoste. The store has also teamed up with Carter and Bond who are grooming specialists for an in-store barber experience.  The service is by appointment only and can be booked Tuesday through till Sunday. The boutique is located in the popular Notting Hill area so there are plenty of places to eat and drink after shopping.

Sefton

Located in the popular area of Upper Street in Islington, Sefton was set up in 1999 and ever since has been one of the boutiques for menswear.  They carry some of the very best of British menswear and International fashion brands; including Commes Des Garcons, Acne Studios and Eastpak. The store also has their own label, funnily enough named after themselves, which has a selection of clothing and accessories, such as men’s leather wallets and ribbed cotton socks. The boutique has a unique setting and the staff are always very friendly.

The LN-CC (Late Night Chameleon Café) is definitely shopping with a difference. The whole store is a unique concept store that has been designed for it’s artistic experience.
