Finding an Oakley store during my time in London, came at a great surprise as I've never seen a standalone store from the chain before, I'm normally used to seeing Oakley products, mainly their spectacles in stores such as Vision Express back home in Manchester, this store is rather large and includes a large range of glasses and sunglasses and free eye-testing on the upper floor.
The store is rather large, it is close to one of London's two flagship Apple Stores in the cool Covent Garden area of London, and this Oakley store also deserves the same rating as those two locations, a four-star rating which at the time of writing, is also the average rating for this store on Yelp and I look forward to telling you why.
Firstly, I have never seen such a store dedicated to the cool Oakley brand, especially such a huge flagship store on King Street in Covent Garden, the store is bright, modern and stands out, it makes one say "That store looks cool and modern" and not just "Oh wow, is that an Oakley store? Does Oakley actually have stores?"
They did have a good selection of eyewear including everyday spectacles and sunglasses, even goggles. Basically, if it rests on your nose and goes over your eyes, they probably have something, including a small selection of watches.
The staff did seem a little so and so, but this store is a rather cool brand, and this flagship store is a great example in most factors if they do decide to extend their standalone stores throughout the UK.
