For a central London "retro items" shop this is very cheap..they like a fast turnover of stock I think. Good for ceramics, brick a brac, lights, some clothes and furniture.

Is this unique and local? NO of course not! It's a department store! But if you're from a far off land..it's an institution! Go to selfridges, Harrods, Harvey Nichols when you want to feel like you don't earn enough..go here if you want to feel like you belong!
