Zara here is incredibly inexpensive compare with US stores! I've found a few red tag items with…read moredeep discount. The styles here are a little different than the ones in US. They cater more to European customers which are not a Bad thing. You just have to take time to find the pieces you like. Great buy especially when US dollar is still strong.

I purchased shoes which I could buy much cheaper at home in London, however I was promised that…read morethere was a 50% discount on all items downstairs in the store at the time. This was confirmed to me twice. The sales assistant was very pushy and her 'hard sale' technique really put me off at first. However I returned the next day having been sold on the discount and I purchased the shoes. The sales assistant knew that I am from London and that I would have no chance of refunding or exchanging the goods. My taxi was waiting outside and I was rushing to the airport which was very obvious, I sadly trusted the store to charge me the correct amount taking into account the discount but they charged me full price of £670 for a pair of shoes that I believed were £335. I only discovered in London when I converted the exchange rate that I was tricked and she had charged me the full price. I called immediately and complained, wanting to resolve the situation. The same assistant answered the phone arguing that she never told me about the discount (I was there with a friend and both of us understood exactly the same). The assistant told me that there is nothing she can do and hung up. Don't go there, it is very far from a luxury boutique. Perhaps targeting overseas clients and overcharging them is a way how they conduct business there. Daylight robbery!!!

My favorite grocery store in the city. Part of this is because everything is in English, so it's…read morethe easiest to shop at. But also, the selection is so unique. They have alot of their own products, so alot less commercial brands. With that, you find interesting choices in things like jams, nut butters, chips, yogurts, chocolate, tomato sauces, etc. It's always an experience when you shop at M&S, and for an American, it's cool learning about a few British items or at least the different names they use of items I'm used to. There are good prepared meals here and there is a cafe to dine in as well.
