Best of the High Street
If London is great for one thing, it's High Street shopping. Oxford Street is lined with shops offering up the latest fashion trends for the lowest prices. Trends in London turn over pretty quickly, so if you want stay current you have to shop all the time. If you're not the son or daughter of a former Beatle, chances are you're shopping on Oxford Street. These are my favourites.

The mecca of High Street shopping. Whether you're rich or poor, you've got something from Topshop in your closet. This is where Kate Moss has her collection.

This place features more down-to-earth versions of the latest trends. UK celeb stylist, Gok Wan, is the spokesperson for this chain.

The best way to describe this place is that it's the Japanese version of the Gap. Best. Jeans. Ever. Japanese denim is like its beef - soft.

A whole London block long and about three floors high. Despite its size, it is always packed. Why all the fuss? The trendiest clothes for prices that you can't beat anywhere. A raincoat for £15? T-shirts for £4? It's almost like they are giving it away. Almost.

Very girly. And very cheap. A lot of London's under 20 crowd can be found here fighting over the last pair of ankle-length leggings.
