Most LUXURIOUS Shopping Street In London Is Shutting Down?! 

The entire nation is in a state of decay and decline. It's not just there, it's literally everywhere. Increasing rents and rates across the country, while many shops and even entire shopping centres sit empty. It's almost like it's deliberate.

When the Dior book tote costs $50 to produce but sells for $5000! Says it all

People are waking up and realising that they don't need to buy luxury crap that sells for a 1000% mark up. Even i've started shopping at highstreet brands such as Next rather than Polo Ralph etc. I found I was paying a premium for clothes that didn't last as long as the cheaper brands, my last pair of Polo trainers fell apart after just a few wears. The t-shirts started threading after a few washes...luxury is just crap sold at a premium.

London used to have a unique magic and enegy. It feels weird now. The people have changed. Oxford St is the most depressing part for sure.

There is no mystery here. Inflation has destroyed what little 'disposable' income people have......no shoppers.....no shops....

Walking around with a bunch of designer shopping bags is like having a big neon siign over your head saying rob me and if you have a fancy watch on displaygood chance you will be followed home. Wecome to London 😮

When I first moved to London from Rome 10 years ago my mom would come and visit me around Christmas time and just for fun we would go to all the posh stores. We couldn’t afford it but it was a fun activity. One major difference I’m noticing is that a lot of independent designer boutiques that used to be around aren’t there anymore, it’s sad!

Hannah, My family used to regularly travel to London from the north to enjoy the fabulous shops and buildings. We can no longer afford to travel by train and eat in a cafe or restaurant plus treat ourselves in a good quality shop. People who can still afford a day trip worry about constant cancelled trains where the public are left stranded, with no plausible explanation, crime, dirty streets and constant pouring rain. Its a very sad situation.

It’s happening in retail worldwide. If stores don’t have customers for their goods and services, their done. Prices for products are higher. Real estate is higher. Rents are higher. Taxes are higher. Food is higher. The consumers only have limited disposable income. After they buy food there’s not much left for anything else.

I shop down this street less and less now, the rudeness and snobbery from staff is unnecessary and off putting. I tend to shop in Harrods or Selfridges now because the staff are helpful and have time for you. Thanks Hannah.

I left London three years ago after 47 years of living there. Even before Covid, established and affordable shops and restaurants were closing down due to extreme rent and rate hikes which successive governments did nothing to prevent. Even characterful old markets, like Spitalfields, became commercialized and lost their original character. The Piccadilly Cafe, which had existed since the 1950s and was used by TV programme directors because of its authentic Fifties decor, closed down. The Stockpot, where you could get a three-course pre-theatre meal for a tenner, followed suit. The same happened with the Vintage Magazine Shop and my favourite restaurant near Oxford Circus, Ozer. Oddball shops in the 1970s where you could browse and find something nostalgic or quirky were all replaced over time with generic big name shops which you could find in any high street. Why would you want to go to the West End when your local main street had the same boring shops? The cinemas around Leicester Square replaced their big screens with smaller ones but retained their high prices. So, central London was dying even before the pandemic and the trend towards working at home. I'm retired now and living in Northern Ireland but former work colleagues in London only go into work twice a week at most so employers' buildings are just giant albatrosses around their necks. I bet they can't wait for their contracts to expire so they can move out. That said, even in a sleepy Irish town shops are closing. There are more charity shops than anything. The only new shop to open in two years here was (appropriate I thought) a Funeral Director! Dying never goes out of fashion.

The whole world seems to be in a mess right now. People, even those who are comfortable, seem to be tightening their belts and forgoing extravagances. I prefer to try and help out my kids by buying toys, books and clothing for quickly growing grandchildren rather than buy for myself. I spend on renting lake houses in my own province so family can join us and save their vacation money for mortgages, food and gas. We used to travel to Europe in the summer and the Caribbean in the winter, but now money is spent more carefully on family members. On the plus side, the memories building sandcastles on the beach, swimming in the lake and making s'mores by the fire, mean so much more to me than travelling abroad now. Everyone seems to love the time together. Just my two cents worth. Thanks for taking us along Hannah. It is sad to see empty stores.

Multi millionaires are leaving UK, the middle class is shrinking. Thats going to hurt C London retail. Even my mate, worked in London for 17 years, is moving to Dubai, and renting his house out.

The same thing is happening in Canada. Hudson’s Bay used to be a flagship department store. Now it’s fighting bankruptcy for over a decade. I believe it’s do to changing shopping trends (everyone is buying online) and skyrocketing rent. Old department stores that have two or three floors are the dinosaurs and will eventually go extinct.

Hannah, the Sakara store was on the south side of Kings Road about ten years ago then suddenly they were gone, too many complaints, passers by being accosted and practically dragged in the store. VAT, paucity of Russian, Arab, American big spenders, traffic free zones, watch robberies, reduced footfall through online shopping, awfulness of Oxford Street, have all contributed to the demise of Bond Street, Burlington Arcade, also, South Molton Street, glory days over 😮Perhaps it is the evolution of the High Street. I was upset when Fenwicks closed, a big shock to many of us - however I’m old enough to remember Peter Robinson on Oxford Circus, Dickins and Jones on Regent Street and (just remember) Swan and Edgar, old fashioned store on Piccadilly Circus, years ago. This is a great vlog, thanks, subscribed !!

London is one of my all-time favorite cities! I served in the USAF for 21 years and was all over the world. I was stationed in England from 2001-2004. At that time I was single and in my 20s. My friends and I used to take the train from Cambridge down to London every chance we could. Used to go down to Picadilly, Trafalger, Bond street, and Covent Gardens to cruise around and window shop. I always wanted to get a custom made suit from a shop on Savile Row. The summer of 2003, my mom came to visit and I took her to Fortnum and Mason to get her some tea (she wanted the same tea that Queen Elizabeth drank) and Harrod's. Sad to see some of those shops leave, but Bond Street still looks good compared to some cities in the U.S. I'm originally from Chicago but I live in Texas now. Chicago's once revered shopping district the Magnificent Mile looks like a war zone now. Anyhoo, thanks for the video; glad it came on my feed. Cheers Hannah!

I've noticed a ton of 'don't buy luxury brands' videos on YT lately. I think times are changing. Maybe people finally come to realize that they got scammed out of their money by LVMH and Co for years.

This seems to be happening everywhere Hannah. I noticed this particularly in Paris last fall. My son and I walked the length of the Champs-Elysee from the Etoile down to the Place de la Concorde. Every second or third store was closed or wrapped in scaffolding being revamped or repurposed. Very much not as I remembered from my last visit. On a brighter note it's always a joy and a pleasure to spend time in your company, you are so engaging. Also, I notice your subscriber count is climbing rapidly to the 200K mark. Last time I looked it was 194k, now 197K! In just a couple of weeks! You'll soon be over that next hurdle....You GO girl! 🥰🤩

Same thing is happening in NYC. Fifth Avenue used to be a special shopping street with the most exclusive stores. Bonwit Tellers, Lord & Taylor, B. Altman, Henri Bendel's..... all gone. Basically we just have Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf's left. Tiffany's is still there but they have gone completely downmarket. Now we have cheap stores like H&M and Zara on Fifth Avenue. I hear that Ikea will be opening a store on Fifth Avenue soon too. When you walk around the city, there are empty storefronts everywhere. Nobody can afford the rent.

Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills is dealing with the same thing. It’s due mostly to the fact after COVID people realized how easy and convenient it was to shop online. You don’t need to leave your living room, returns are easy, shipping often free, returns are free. Or do you pay to park, deal with rude customer service, and pay 20-25% more to pay for top tier rent. This is happening in EVERY large city in the more luxury shopping districts. They have almost all completely closed, or paired down so much you don’t recognize the area.

Brick and mortar are hurting but I think online shops are going to be in for a rude awakening as reality continues to pummel upper-middle to lower income brackets; housing/groceries/heating costs are simply becoming more top of mind and even giants like Amazon will come to find what they sell are just disposable conveniences and not necessities or meaningful. Doom and gloom comment aside - thank you for showing off London. Your down to earth commentary is always something I look forward to.

A lot of high street stores are shutting down because of cost of living, people like myself are losing jobs, sales are not as high as they normally are. I think the government has ruined the high street too. It would be nice if the luxury brands lowered their prices though

Hannah, this is insightful. It takes me down memory lane. I use study at The American College on Marylebone Lane. Sad to see what's happening on the streets that were iconic. Yes, brands are finding it very difficult across the world to find a viable business model. Over pricing is not going to work. You've got me thinking. ❤❤

Thanks for this! I love your honest assessment of everything you cover. In answer to your query, there are many variables as mentioned by others here. The exclusive pricing is out of control. Years ago many luxury stores had a range of pricing from affordable to upper tier so they could hit every consumer. Today they are being ultra exclusive and overpricing everything making it challenging for middle class and those who are wealthy, but not billionaires, to make purchases. Everyone cannot be Hermes and Chanel with their $5,000 blouses and $13,000 handbags. In the 1990s one could buy Chanel cologne in the small size for under $40. Today the price is approaching $200. Chanel has priced out 95% of the buying public. Much of the luxury business is controlled and operated by greedy conglomerates with horrible management practices. The rent is out of control. Much of the real estate is no longer owned by the English but foreigners who couldn't care less about retaining tradition, architecture, store legacy, etc. They are all greedy to cash in. Sadly the many boutiques you showed cannot afford to sell moderate priced luxury goods. There is also a high rate of pickpocketing going on now in London making the city unattractive to many who would consider visiting London and instead are diverting travel to Scotland, Ireland and other countries. Sadly, and you won't like hearing this, but years ago, England touted itself as top quality retailers. The beautiful gifts and products you show in Fortum & Mason, Liberty's, Harrods, and many of the luxury shops are very enticing; however many are no longer being made in England but in places like China for English brands. Royal Doulton is now made in China. The English workers were mostly all fired. Wedgewood makes many of its Christmas items in China. Many of the European brands also are selling luxury designs made in China. It seems stupid to shop in the expensive stores today for merchandise that is no longer top quality, stores that fail to offer beautiful displays (just as you mentioned regarding Tiffany's which sadly is owned now by the conglomerate LVMH who has been doing a poor job in managing the once unique brand).

So many small locally owned businesses have closed where I live in the last year. You know it’s bad when the big companies start closing their stores.

London has a bad reputation for thefts in the high end parts of town. The posh areas attract criminals. They are also attracted by the high values of Swiss wrist watches. People are being advised not to wear high end watches while in London.

Same as Chester,once a nice place to shop, now a coffee shop and fast food dump,lots of empty shops.

We need to stop buying everything online! We are losing our high street, our communities, and our spirit in the process! Buy in store where you can ❤ and bring back our gorgeous stores like Fenwicks....x

I own a business in the States & I can tell you, the biggest expense that is becoming a potential killer is payroll & increasing lease expense. Basically just the cost of doing business will eventually no longer make financial sense. Thank you Hannah 💜💜💜

I know for me, living in the US, I no longer view London as a place to shop since I can no longer receive the VAT tax back. I will shop in France or Italy.

We had a jewelry store in Budapest for 18 years in a downtown plaza, and the pandemic destroyed our business in 2020, and we couldn't continue. We haven't recovered since then.

Thanks for taking the time to go to Savile Row. Yes, the building across the street was for a time the flagship Abercrombie store in London and that very strange guy who ran the company came in to the Savile Row tailors and got suits made. I have a documentary from 2008 about the row when Abercrombie was moving in. I was also in London around that time and I went down the row taking pictures of the shop windows, which were the same as in the documentary I have. The tailoring down there is amazing. I wish I could afford it. The closest I've come is a made to measure suit I'm getting, but that's not the bespoke tailoring they do on the row. Thanks again for that.

Perhaps cancelling of the Tax refund for tourists in London which yielded a 12% savings in retail purchases has had an impact on New Bond street and elsewhere in London because everywhere else in Europe is still been offered…

Greedy landlords are everywhere, especially in the states in every city. Even Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills is dealing with something similar.

Thanks for that little blast of west-end nostalgia. You make a very entertaining guide. And it makes a change to encounter a young woman who takes such an interest in the architecture of the shops, not just what they can wander off with in designer-label carrier bags. Frankly, I don't think that a dozen or so empty units in a road as long as Old/New Bond St is too surprising these days...

I can't believe my country's embassy was in Bond street, those years I was studying in England I asked myself if my country is one of the poorest in the world, why on earth are we paying so much to rent here when we could be in any street in Central London! Oxford Street is where my Dad used to shop whenever he visited London in the 80s and 90s ..insane ...when you are a tourist you truly have no Clue!!! How to save your money , where to get bargains or not to waste your money!!!

Yes I'm old enough to remember the Beatles rooftop performance! xx

Corporation of London own part of Bond Street and the remaining is owned by sovereign funds. Both don’t care if the units are rented. The real gems are the many floors of flats above most of the retail shops.

I love the architecture of London. Thank you for sharing it with us ❤

I’m a retail broker in New York, and while all shopping districts here have some vacancies, overall conditions are improving. Since Covid, the cost of goods, services and residential rents have increased at rates far exceeding personal income so that’s affecting buying power. Several years ago, I leased some retail space to a popular U.K. brand, who actually preferred the structure of our leases which were much longer than yours (i.e., basically in the U.K. leases have a rent review every 5 yrs which causes much stress on tenants especially when their sales volumes declines).

London and the UK in general is in decline, it's sad.

Live in the States and there is nearly no retail anymore, Malls been closing for years. Up market open air shopping plazas are opening, but not being occupied fully. Or stores have very short leases. When the economy tanks and inflation rises people buy less. Housing cost are insane, food is doubled in price. Spending $100s of dollars on a pair of shoes is just out of the reach of most people. Middle class is shrinking need I say more. Love you vlog Hannah.

Thanks for the Video Hannah . No idea how I stumbled across your channel. This video was very reminiscing for me. I also used to work in Mayfair 20 years ago. I remember back then it was constantly evolving with building work and a constant supply of shops to let. I use to sharpen the Tailoring shears for all the Taylor’s And accessory producers. Those old building inside hadn’t changed in hundreds of years. If only vlogging was a thing 20 years ago. Its would have been incredible to share. Lots of stories and interesting people. Probably my favourite part of London . Good luck with the channel.

Hannah I love your vids! London is my fav place & I haven’t been for 18 years so seeing it through your eyes is wonderful. Ty ♥️🇨🇦

Similar in NYC, but I think it's to do with remote work. People don't commute into Manhattan anymore, and even those who live in Manhattan, work from their home, so nobody in the street, so no foot traffic. Then there is online shopping.

You are turning into an investigative reporter, Hannah! Excellent! Keep asking questions!👍

thank you for showcasing the streets, feels like I'm there. you do a amazing job of filming and voice over detailed information.

Love your walk n chat style. Big Congratulations on 200k subscribers🥂 🎉

A sign of the times with recognisable, prestigious names closing their stores. Great vlog! Thanks for sharing!

Its not only London its every where. I'm from New Zealand and some of our top well known retail brands and restaurants are all going into liquidation. Consumer spending is no longer the way it was. Cost of living so high that most people's earnings are no match to cost of living.

Thanks for the video, Hannah. I absolutely love the beautiful places that you show us. It makes me sad to see all the empty places. I don’t live where there are a lot of shops like that, so I do a lot of online shopping but I almost always would rather see, and try on, things in person! So, it saddens me that so many stores are closing. Not that I could ever afford these ones that you’re showing us! But thank you, I appreciate your efforts so much. ❤️

The balcony with the wrought iron is a Romeo and Juliet balcony. Thanks for the leisurely stroll, it's always great to get a view of the architecture, even with all the renovations going on.

I would also like to add that this video was very interesting , in my 20s for work I walked every day down Bond Street, you are right it was a special high end market street that made you feel the elegance , eliteness and high class that the stores and architecture exuded. Your video should be shown on the television so as to bring it to everyones attention. Keep up the good work

Who doesn't love a stroll and a mooch with Hannah ❤

Thanks for showing this part of London, Hannah. I wasn't aware of the difficulties. Almost at the big 200K, here's to the final push!

Inflation may also be playing a part. People just don't have enough disposable income. The majority of customers for luxury brands are not the super rich. They are most often the middle and upper middle class.

The same thing is true here in the US. A number of stores closed on Rodeo Drive, Madison Avenue (especially on the Upper East Side ironically) and Chicago's Michigan Avenue and/or have gone a bit downmarket after 2020 and have been empty for years. Think a lot of people are shopping online, going to thrift stores or Poshmark, Ebay, Depop for older better made clothes (things aren't as well made as they were years ago, even with luxury brands).

Empty stores are happening everywhere. It's scary, Great tour, Hannah, as always. Keep up the great work showing us things in London. I especially enjoy the teas.

thanks for making this video. It was interesting to see how many shops are shutting in such a key area.... I bought a pair of lovely derby brogues in the russell and bromley which is now shut. I still wear them. They were 58 pounds in the Christmas sale at the turn of the century. The assistant called me Madam. I was pretty much like you...an avid shopaholic buying excessive amounts for what? status and pride...now I don't go shopping at all. Make my own clothes (I strongly advise you to learn to sew and knit now!) It is so much more rewarding to learn to make your own clothes. The Assembly Line's patterns are wonderful, and I keep learning....I sometimes watch fashion based stuff, just for inspiration...but that's it. Babylon is falling. That is what you're seeing. And it isn't going to stop...We are in Revelation 6 right now...love of the world is enmity with God. God owns everything. It's all a big test as your designer clothing cannot save you. Only Jesus Christ can. And He is returning imminently. We are under judgement. Thus the endless dark days....God bless you and keep you.

Oh no - not lovely Fenwicks where my mum took us as teenagers in the fifties - she would buy an expensive coat and charge it C.O.D. Poor dad didn't stand a chance. I'm afraid its all a sign of the times Hannah. Everyone shops on line - buying mountains of stuff they don't really need - all hooked on Amazon !

I don't know what it is but everywhere is changing in the UK. Not always for the best.

The prettiest Vlogger on RU-vid... you make me feel like a Londoner.....keep it up the great vids...

Wow Hannah on all the comments. I agree with most and replied to one person. On a different subject I am an online shopper for sure. Covid changed so much and the best shopping near Maine is in the Boston area where I grew up. There are a few gorgeous malls but i hear they are dead most of the time!! Sad times.

So I live in Raleigh, NC for 10 years now, it was quiet, small and friendly. Then it started moving up the list for the best place to live in the U.S. It made it to #3 this year and the building hasn't stopped. Stores, apartments, houses, etc. now the big name stores are pushing the little ones out. More people are moving here and they are building houses on top of each other. Growth is ok, but this is too fast. Be glad London isn't booming. It isn't fun. Hopefully some thought will be given as to what stores are moving in. It seems the way to go is to build build build then worry about housing, roads, cars, later. Is there something wrong with a small park or a community garden? The world is nuts.

I feel that the shops are closed due to a lot of factors, high rents , homeless and beggars everywhere, it doesn’t feel special or safe to go to London shopping any more , I read today that in the first six months of this year , 300 watches have been stolen from people in central London alone , that would probably stop a lots of wealthy people going shopping , then you have the mobile phone thefts, knife crime , gangs etc etc , sad world we live in really

Just found this Hannah vid in my yu-toob feed. I guess she's in the same algorithmic strain as John Rodgers London walks. Loved it & her, talking & riffing nineteen to the dozen with knowledge wit & style, very easy on the eye too. She brings Valley Girl by Frank Zappa to my mind, in a tooootally good way of course. Great music choices too. Nice work, Hannah.

Hannah - the new retail economy investigative reporter! I think you have a new career in the making. This alone will increase your audience. But don’t change your fun and engaging commentary on London, it is a real treat each week. 😊

Always look forward to your next video! You are so classy but also down to earth.

The majority of towns in the UK are now 'retail deserts' and it looks like London is not immune. The cost of driving into the city and parking or catching the train and Tube isn't cheap either. Add food and drink onto everything else and it affects the footfall from outside the city.

I was really impressed by your vlog. You are so professional and polished. x

Yes absolutely beautiful architecture behind that scaffolding... more to this than meets the eye for sure !!

WOW can't believe Fenwicks is gone it was a landmark in Bond Street. I'm from London but live in Newcastle and there's one here, its very successful.

As a newfound finder of this channel, thank you for providing joy :)

Hi Hannah, the balconies you mentioned 21.46 are called Juliet balconies and all you need is a romeo in the street.

really loved your video it was really great to see bond St Seville row and the lovely arcades yes the top brands are not as good as they used to be but l will say the shops are so nice but what is happening in London is happening all around the world at the moment all l can say to you is keep up the great videos cheers from Raymond from Melbourne Australia

Noooooo! Not Fenwick. I worked in a horrible job in Mayfair 10 years ago and Fenwick was my happy place to go at lunchtimes, the staff were lovely. It's a beautiful area with stunning architecture.

the people who make you feel uncomfortable in shops aren’t doing a good job for the brand. I don’t know why they look down their noses at customers, could they afford to buy anything in the shop? 🤷‍♀️

Ps ~ Congrats on your 200k Subscribers!!!! 🎇🎆🎇🎆

Love watching this channel, just reminds me of the Wandering Turnip channel (but going along Old Bond St etc instead of Sheffield). As you say, weird seeing all those closed shops and all the building work. So many places closing down, guess the rates / rents too high and just too many people shopping online instead. Heatwave ... is that ever going to happen ??

Most people unless your in the 1% group, just can’t afford luxury good’s anymore. Quite luxury is the new thing and that means big names loose out. Great video Hannah 🎉.

Just wanted to let you know how happy I feel for your e-tube success.....you are being recognized for your interesting, inteligent, insightful videos presented by as I"ve always said, a charming, articulate, beautiful young lady who also makes us smile and laugh at her natural, endearing and delightful opinions. Both you and your sister are an asset to England. You really should have your own T.V. show

Love the walk and talk. Seeing things I’ll never experience. It’s only 30 degrees C here, it melts your brain

That was informative, thanks Hannah. Online videos show New York experiencing similar changes as well as significant rent increases in the private sector.

Hannah, don't worry about what anyone else thinks or wants, you do you!!! Stars never go out of style, wear them anyway!!!! Your hair looks amazing!!!! Love you💖!

Eye opening to see what I was told in 2020 would happen is happening . Uncomfortable to see, feel bad for the businesses that had to leave. Property taxes and rents, wages, electricity etc…. I saw a video on RU-vid last week that convent garden is mostly boarded up too. Thanks for this video and your attentiveness, observations.

Hi Hannah ! It’s the same in Canada too, so sad😢. But everything is so expensive at that moment. In addition, during the pandemic, a lot of shops closed . Love your videos! 💖

Great video, Hannah! I just love walking around with you, as you point out little details like you do here! My daughter wiuld love Bond Street, even with the closures. Best 🩷

I've been watching your videos and thinking London had escaped the mass exodus of high end shops like San Francisco and even Los Angeles (mostly due to a combination of office closure from remote workers, increase homeless spilling into the areas, and increase in theft beyond shoplifting). Unlike London, we're talking major department stores, gone, likely relocated; moving into newly created suburbia. Hopefully London stays safe.

That Beatles performance is very famous-at least amongst us aging hippies. I can’t believe those shop girls were so obvious about checking your bag-so rude! I’m still seeing articles about how we aren’t really past the pandemic yet-and COVID gets the blame for many of the problems we are seeing today. You did say, though, that many of these stores have been shut for years, so it’s hard to say. Maybe the available places aren’t suitable for the companies that want to rent? Stores are closing various locations in the US too, but it’s all up and down the economic spectrum. Tough times, indeed. Thank you again for providing a bright spot for us! I really look forward to, and enjoy your videos! ❤

It's kind of happening everywhere. Here in NZ, retail is in a decline due to increasing rents and other costs. So the retailer throws the higher costs back to buyers who then end up not buying anything. Times are tough and having many things don't pay the bills as many jobs are gone. Another big factor is crime, as police and courts in NZ favour the criminals more than the Victims. Thefts are on the rise and our law and order does not do anything.

Hi Hannah - sometimes the faux balconies in architecture are called 'Juliet balconies'! They are cute especially in black colour. We have the same issues here in Toronto (Yorkville shopping area). Lots of reno work and closures too.

Buon venerdì. Cara, da noi in città ci sono 35 gradi, e siamo già stanchi di questa estate rovente. Meno male che posso, virtualmente, andare per le belle strade di Londra. Sono felice per te , al più presto raggiungerai un altro bel traguardo: quello dei 200.000 iscritti. Ciao Cara Hannah. 👑👑👏👏🌺🌻🌼🇮🇹

I’ll bet that soon it will be announced this will be made into a 15 minute area! That would be why they’re making it difficult to stay in the area. Keep this post.

Love this! Gearing up for my (brief) return to lovely London in October. I miss it! By the way. I had a fab experience in Hermes. I didn’t have an appointment and it was busy however they accommodated me and I only wanted a small silk scarf. I ended up buying a cashmere shawl and was treated very well the whole time there. I’d say give it a go!

What a fab and informative vlog Hannah. Thank you so very much x

That’s so funny that the store staff looked at your bag. 🤣🤣🤣But I loved seeing the street and the shops and architecture, and your informative commentary! Have a wonderful weekend!☺️

Céline, Chloé, pomelatto , Dior and Gucci…….all the same company - Kering ! Their share price went from almost 800 euros to 320 in 3 years.

Loved the video Hannah, you are hilarious 😄 sad to see London go this way. My wife used to work in Piccadilly Circus in the early 2000s, great buzz about the city then

Loved listening to you Hannah!! Thanks from Florida!

Yes, greed from the shop owners and greed from the brands... Its out of control and is now biting back! There is a point where people just think "NO" enough is enough. And snooty service, never a plus for any business. But I do love my London and like you Hannah I love the architecture. In the past 5 years I myself shop on line much more, and also when in London it is the iconic stores I gravitate to.
