Review of Octopus

Quite amusing 
If you want a frog shaped toaster, hippo toilette brush, or other really unpractical household items then this is the place for you.
Only time I've found it useful is when trying to find something amusing for a batty aunt that you've been palming off smelly soap to for the last 5 Christmases - make sure she has a sense of humor and be prepared to receive it as a gift from her some years later - untouched in it's shinny box.

Review of Liberty and Co

It's lost it's edge
Much classier than Harrod, Liberty was always known as the cutting edge department store in London with designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Jean Muir and many more starting their careers there.
Unfortunately in recent years it's gone a bit down hill - it's lost it's unique approach to the goods in store and has become more generic and like other department stores which is a shame. It's also only a third the size it used to be.
For a tourist though, it's well worth a look as it's very much a part of London.

Review of Paxton and Whitfield

Cheese-tastic 
Just as the others have said this is the best and most authentic cheese shop in London.
They have a massive range of international and British cheeses along with lots of accompaniments and bits and bobs.
If you are going away for a smart weekend and want to impress I suggest you offer to bring the cheese board and pop down to Jermyn Street for a Paxton Special!
