      Resurrecting this thread.

      I haven't been to London since 1994 when I was stationed in England.  Planning on a trip beginning of December.  Any suggestions on what area to stay in and stores is appreciated.

        Regarding stores (depending what you are into) and off the top of my head:

        • Near Carnaby Street / Soho: American Classics / Great Frog / End Clothing / Foot Patrol / Maharishi / Place on Wardour Street that does JMM / Wood Wood

        • Piccadilly: Snow Peak / Dover Street Market / Nearby is Jermyn Street (Trickers / Crockett and Jones)

        • Mayfair: Drakes (Saville Row) / Real McCoys (now appointment only)

        • Tottenham Court Road End of Oxford Street: Rivet and Hide / Lewis Leathers

        • Between Oxford Street and Marylebone: Clutch Cafe

        • Marylebone: Trunk Clothiers (great little store but only been there a few times) / Monocle / Various places that stock JMM

        • Covent Garden: Honestly fuck all these days, except Crazy Pig (jewellery). American Classics has relocated to Carnaby St.

        • Knightsbridge: Grand Seiko Store

        • Shoreditch: Good Hood / Sneakerstuff / Various other stores that are also near Carnaby Street / used to be a great store on Rivington St but name escapes me (Sunnysiders I think)

        • Truman Brewery (near Shoreditch), closest Tube is Liverpool Street: Various sample sales often at Truman Brewery / Son of a Stag / You Must Create

        Hope that is helpful.

          Thanks Cutlasshound.  That's really helpful.  Appreciate you taking the time to write it up.
          Wondering if staying in Soho or around Oxford Circus is my best bet.

            I would suggest Soho or Shoreditch to stay in, both are good locations to get around from and both have excellent food options

                    Will be spending some days in London mid August, so if someone would be so nice to update the list with some recommendations:

                    • good record stores
                    • good place to buy a nice sport jacket and some pleated pants
                      thanks in advance
