City Breaks

London Episode 24 Shops and Markets


Listen Later

We cover every kind of London shopping experience, popping into some globally recognised department stores, including Selfridges on its opening day in 1909, dropping by foodie havens, the best areas for a little vintage shopping and the cream of London's bookshops.  We also call into London's oldest shopping arcade, first opened in the 14th century, as well as one referred to as 'the newest kid on the block.'
