I generally do not care for department stores but the exception lies in Selfridges and their flagship store on London’s Oxford Street.  I love their displays, their merchandising, their staff and though it always seems fast paced and busy, the layout is such that you don’t find yourself making circles for an escalator or exit, even considering it is the second largest shop in the UK!  The European brands they carry, especially the London designers, that we don’t get in New York are plenty and so fun.  Their collection of the top designer brands look like they fell right off the pages of a magazine.
