Selfridges & Co

This glass-fronted department store is a one-stop shop. You’ll find things that you didn’t even know you wanted until you got here, because there’s just about every category of fanciful desire covered—from fashion to food, beauty to homeware. You’re going to want a break at some point from this ceaseless retail therapy. Farmacia Del Dolce, a café and patisserie is a good place to pause and examine the treasures you’ve acquired. It is here, over creamy scoops of gelato or an array of delectable pastries or just a good hearty brunch, that you replenish the energy you need to keep-going.
