★ An insider's guide to London's best shopping ★
London is one of the world's great shopping cities. With 15% of the UK's retail business headquartered in London, operating nearly 40,000 stores, Napoleon probably just meant London when he called the UK a nation of shopkeepers.
In its thousands of stores and boutiques, dedicated hunter gatherers can find everything imaginable. Cheap and cheerful fashion to ultimate haute couture, popular music to vintage vinyl, exotic spices to exquisite chocolates and perfect cheeses, it's all here. But where to begin?
This guide will arm you with insider info on more than 130 of London's best stores, illustrated with hundreds of colourful photos. Get a Londoner's perspective on hot shops, great shopping neighbourhoods and evergreen favourites. It's all searchable by tags like "fashion", "food", "shoes&accessories", "books & music", so you can find what you're looking for and go straight to it.

As a frequent visitor to London, I've developed a list of favorite shops to visit but I don't really know the city like an insider. This app has expanded my horizons by providing lots more places to explore. And the built-in Google map helps me find new ones I want to visit. You can also sort it to see what stores are in a particular neighborhood, so you can hit more than one in an area. In addition to stores, the app covers London's famous markets. Plus there are interesting tidbits, such as the fact that Waterstones -- my favorite bookseller -- is inside the former department store that was the inspiration for that comic Brit TV hit, "Are You Being Served?" Armed with this and the London Tube map app, I can't wait to set out on my next London shopping expedition.
This is a cool ap!
The pix are great, and there are a lot of great shops and tips. Great for travelers and locals. The map feature is terrific.
Enough to turn me into a shopoholic
I'm not normally a shopper, but this guide is enough to change all that - great photos and I love the mappong function, which is especially helpful for the traveler suddenly afflicted with the need to shop.
