England: London: Where to Shop: Fashion & Accessories: Fenwick

Fenwick

Another one of the country’s historic department stores, this five-story emporium on New Bond Street has become renowned for showcasing hot new design talents at reasonable prices. Good spot to pick up the season’s look at a semi-disposable price.

Update Fall 2010: Shopping the best of Mayfair can work up an appetite, so luckily Fenwick has a brand-new all-day restaurant. Bond & Brook serves light lunches and afternoon tea; all is overseen by posh London caterer Rhubarb. Restaurant critic Fay Maschler is behind the venture, so the vegetable frittata, prawn pad Thai and gold-dusted fondant fancies at tea time should earn top ratings. ELENA BOWES
