Selfridges is great for everything, its not all expensive in there. I go there often for shoes, perfumes or Mac makeup. Sometimes i just walk through just to stay away from walking in the cold. Nice place, the swivelling doors make it look so prestigious. read more

There are two reasons for visiting Selfridges. If you are an Art Deco enthusiast, this large department store near the Marble Arch/Hyde Park area will have you mesmerized by the decorative touches both on the inside and outside of the building. It is one of the best examples of the period architecture when it comes to buildings still used for their original purpose. The other reason to visit are the excellent shopping opportunities that await inside. There is a huge range of fashion, cosmetics and homeware items on offer, ranging from high-street to top-end luxury brands. The food hall is also worth visiting, as it offers excellent dining options for lunch/early dinner. There is a women's hair and beauty salon situated on the third floor, which I sometimes visit for special-occasion hairstyling. This store is one of my favourite shopping venues, as it offers luxury without a trace of snobishness or 'exclusivity'. I usually finish by picking up some wonderful freshly-baked cupcakes in the bakery section. read more

Selfridges - Revolving doors at Selfridges entrance. - Department Stores Near Me - London, LND

Love the downstairs kitchen section

We went to this store for the first time because I had read about the shoe floor and had to see it. The store doesn't disappoint. The closest comparison I can come up with is Neiman Marcus in Dallas or Bloomingdale's in New York City. The store is big and pricey with lots of designer items along with upscale food items. The store is big and bright. However, the shoe floor did not disappoint! It was huge with names I had only dreamed about seeing in real life. If you love fashion and especially shoes,don't hesitate...GO! read more

The best department store in London, for me at least. I've always liked Selfridges more than Harrods....!!

Brilliant. We all know it and we all love or hate it, nothing inbetween and sometimes actually a little bit of both. That place is always overcrowded and sale assistants are often smug or very pushy but you know you are going to find what you want and their cosmetics department is just what a girl wants, what a girl needs. Even more so when the sale is on as the prices are very decent then. read more

It's hard to say anything about Selfridges that people don't already know - yes, it's one of the smartest places to shop in London, and consequently the world. Yes, some of the clothes and shoes are ridiculously expensive and it's sometimes painful to just look (and try on) but not buy. Yes, everything is laid out beautifully and you feel good just walking around in such rich surroundings. But I find that the most important thing to know about Selfridges is that sometimes, if you visit at the right time, they give out free chocolates in the food hall. And if you're really cheeky, you can just happen to wander past the counter again, and again, and again read more

It houses one of the most eye catching displays that's sure to catch your attention. there are loads of designer shopping and mini boutiques to satisfy the shopper in you. I love the grandeur of the building and elegant display of products. read more

i love this shop it has the latest fashions and great service but its so expensive everyone needs to go there seriously read more

Selfridges - Department Stores Near Me - London, LND

Second greatest shop in London after Harrods, not as expensive as Harrods, is huge, has everything you want and is good quality, lots of designer wear, the food shop on the 5th floor and on the ground is amazing, on Xmass the shop looks amazing read more

Place to shop and eat in town, although not the cheapest. Good designer brands and they also have great food hall downstairs. It is easy to get lost however they offer a free personal shopper service- on request, which is very convenient to use and saves time. read more

If you are on Oxford Street, you should swing by the Selfridges food hall. My favourite bit is the bakery area- here there are two of the best cupcake stalls. I love cup cakes and these are truely outstanding and very pretty! They make a fantastic gift and are delicious- I can certainly vouch for that! Worth a visit just for the cup cakes! read more

My favourite store in London! I can spend hours in here shopping for clothes, shoes and make up!!! Will never get bored of this shop!

One of the premier department stores in London, Selfridges is located in the centre of Oxford Street. Their range covers everything from designerwear to must have technology to their amazing foodhall. Also stocked are the vaunted Superbrands - indeed there is an entire section of their clothing floor dedicated to them. A visit to Oxford street is not complete without a visit to Selfridges, be sure to take a peek during the sales as well, when bargains galore can be found. read more

Went there as a tourist because I'm a big fan of the Masterpiece theater series. I could not find anything to buy that had a Selfridges name on it...why? I go to Harrods and they devote a whole dept to Logo accessories. Tip to owners: you are missing a great opportunity $$$$, I'm sure I'm not alone in this, I see many people taking their photos under the name plate outside the store. read more

Possibly one of the most pleasant shopping experiences I have ever had! If you can't get it at Selfridges, its not worth having! Not to say that its the most affordable place in London, but its definitely one of those places that a trip to Oxford St would not be complete without a browse through. If you are looking for something a little special or out of the ordinary, this is the place to look. Quality is top class and any designer label which is worth considering has pride of place in the store. The food market is also fantastic. Make sure you take your credit card with you! read more

The absolute heaven for people who love bags, shoes and make-up. The selection is fantastic with many brands from Prada to Topshop so not only is this store for the very rich but anyone can afford to shop there. The layout of the shop is good and the staff are friendly and always ready to help. Besides shopping, the food hall has a big selection of food from sandwiches to pies to sushi. I love this store. I visit it most weekends when I have nothing much to do just to see what new things they have. read more

By far the best department store in London. Forget Haorrods and even Harvey Nic's this is the all rounder that has everything you need, high street fashion brands, beauty, shoes, electronics, designer collections and much much more. You could spend a whole day here! read more

Amazing if you love shopping and have the money to spend - they have everything you could want for in clothing, accessories and cosmetics/perfumes etc. If you are especially looking for designer label high end brands, this is your store. Its a tourist landmark but not only that, architecturally it is a stunning building for its time however like most department stores after a while inside its a bit too much for the senses and for that matter the bank account! read more

I used to work here many years ago, and I've always found it to be upbeat, young and fresh, well on Ground floor. The higher the floor you go, the more expensive it gets! They have loads of food places in here, and fashion from all high street stores, and then of course from the big name designers. What I like most about selfridges is the innovative window displays they have all year round, and also once a year they have a theme! A few years back it was Brazil, then it was Bollywood they transformed the whole store, and had lots of events and goodies, so look out for that too. read more

im sure mr selfridge would be happy to know it is an icon shop. the beauty hall has everything from perfumes to really amazing make-up. the beauty salon is good and offers many cosmetic treatments. but beware as they try to sell you stuff that isnt as good as the label says. it has so many bars and eateries that in years it has become much like Harrods. from stationary to wigs and top names to chilling out it is wonderful. staff are always there to help aand friendly and refunds and customer care are excellent yes you can get a refundif needed. check out the basement technology dept. from huge real jukeboxes to the latests space food everything for everyone. the choccie dept is nice as every single choc you can think of including traditional english creams to swarve swiss. we love you selfridges! read more

Selfridges is more of an experience than a shopping trip. Wonderfully laid out, huge and full of desirable and unusual goodies that will have you dribbling. However, most of the products are simply out of reach of us mere mortals and everything seems unbelievably expensive. Have a good nose around, take in the splendor of it all, and then spend your money down the road at John Lewis. read more

One of my favourite shops of all time!!! I have speant at least 5 hours in this shop before maybe evwen longer.. and actually taken a trip down there hext weekend to do some christmas shopping!! :) This shop has literally everything you could ever ask for every brand/name designer collection there is with every department you could think off even a food market!! When your in here always keep your eyes pealed as you will probably see a celeb wondering around too!! Have fun and try not to spend to much!! read more

A great shopping experience. You can find a wide range of everything from luxury brands to highstreet. They also have a great selection of electronics and staff are very friendly and give great advice. The best thing about Selfridges is that you can find items that are widely available in other shops. read more

You could go to selfridges to look around even if you didnt need anything! It is a great environment to look around and they have such a vast array of items. They have unique unsual gifts and homewares which you wouldnt get anywhere else. They also have an absolutely fabulous food hall. read more

Probably the best department store in London. Although calling it a 'department store' certainly takes the shine off of what is essentially a incredibly expensive store. You'll find absolutely everything you need in there, my favourite part of the store being the food court which caters for absolutely every cuisine known to man. Grrat place to go for coffee, bite to eat and especially if it's raining. Beware though, you'll be spending money like there is no tomorrow if you're not careful! read more

Selfridges is a classy store with a lot of energy inside so needs a lot of energy from you to survive a visit. Packed with stock mostly at the top of the price range and usually packed with customers which makes even the simplest search for an item take ages. Food Hall is excellent (if you have the cash) but again be prepared for crowds and confusion. Staff are well presented and seemed to be chosen for their good looks and style over service I've always found it impossible to engage with them in any meaningful way. Located at the top end of Oxford Street so easy to get to if you can face the nightmare street walk and packed tube stations nearby. read more

If you make your way through the food hall towards the krispy kreme counter, there's a little selection of imported US food (lucky charms cereal for about £7, no less), cookie and pancake mixes, and even egg nog. It's my first stop when buying presents for my American friends, and it's their favourite place on oxford street!! read more

Despite being opposite Starbucks and 5 minutes from HMV, both of these stores have an outlet inside Selfridges. Their magazines and newspapers are supplied by WH Smith, so it's a coming together of several places to make the whole. There is also a branch of EAT and Yo Sushi as well as Square Pie inside and lots of concessions of clothing brands and other brands eg homewares and beauty. They have some rare and exclusive items but these come with the prerequisite extortionate price tag. It's possible to spend a day inside here, and your life's savings although the sales period can have some very generous reductions. You can also get clothes altered here, and there is a service to find the best jeans to fit you as it can be very daunting with all those many brands. read more

Selfridges is a large department store which has its flagship store in Oxford Street, London but also has stores in Manchester and Birmingham. The London store was opened in 1909 and is an impressive building on the busy thoroughfare in Oxford Street. If travelling by tube you can either get off at Marble Arch or Bond Street as it is a short walking distance from both. The store has impressive large windows with some amazing window displays. The window displays aren't the kind that you see something you'd like to wear and that makes you want to go in but they are the kind that make you stop and look. On my last visit the windows were themed with a grecian theme with lovely white dresses and huge big pillars. Many people living in London probably take Selfridges a bit for granted but although we have department stores where I live they are nowhere near the same scale as Selfridges. When I walk into the shop I am just struck by the sheer size of it. The perfume and beauty hall is just immense, it is almost a little to big and you don't know where to start. The shop pretty much sells everything, not quite the kitchen sink but close enough. There are certainly a wide range of products and prices to suit a wide range of budgets too. There is perfume, cosmetics, handbags (gorgeous gorgeous but very expensive handbags!), clothes (lots and lots of lovely clothes), kitchen utensils, china, books, luggage, gifts, toys, pet accessories, candles pretty much everything you would want in a department store. The shop is spread out over 6 floors. The Lower Ground Floor includes a bookshop, luggage and the cook shop. The Ground Floor includes fragrance, beauty, stationery, the foodhall and women's street fashion which is geared more to the younger women including clothes from high street stores and labels like Lipsy. The First Floor is the Menswear, Men's shoes and accessories. The Second Floor is the for the Ladies, including designer wear, clothes, shoes and accessories. The Third Floor has lingerie and also childrenswear. Finally up on the Fourth Floor is furniture, lighting and bedding. The clothing departments are really large both for men and for women although the women do get the larger space! There are clothes for most budgets from the more high street store fashions on the ground floor to the high end designers upstairs. The shop has lots of toilets and they seem to be on every floor unlike the department stores where I live where the toilets always seem to be tucked away on the top floor and have huge queues. There are also several places to stop and have a drink, snack or something more substantial to eat. The store is open 7 days a week. On Mondays to Saturdays it is open from 9.30am to 8pm with late night opening on a Thursday to 9pm. On Sundays it opens from 11.30am to 6pm although you can't actual purchase anything until 12noon. I have always visited the store when I have been on holiday and have gone midweek when the store is much quieter. Its much better if you want any assistance with anything. On my first visit when walking through the beauty hall an assistant at one of the counters asked if I would like my make-up done. I then got my make-up done with her teaching me the techniques at the same time and there was no pressure to buy although I did end up buying some eyeliner and a brush as I really liked the effect. The Cookshop is great if like me you like little gadgets and accessories for the kitchen. They have a large selection of lovely Alessi accessories which are really great. They also quite often have cooking demonstrations and when I was there last they had been making chocolate cake to demonstrate the silicone bakeware and the smell filled the area, yum! Selfridges is a really nice department store that gives a lovely shopping experience and is a great place to browse even if you don't actually buy anything. My purse is probably quite thankful though that there isnt a Selfridges near me or I might be popping in too regularly! read more

I am begining to have a real affinity for British department stores. It kind of reminds me of all the department store I use to go to when I stayed in Korea back in 1989. The best part of the store are the food outlets and hall. read more

Best Menswear department in the world. You might get bigger on Boulevard Haussmann, or bolder claims from Broadway, but this is the place to go if you're serious about fashion. Plus you might see a rolling stone or two knocking about on the first floor! read more

One of London's best department stores wait for the sales if you really want some fantastic bargains!

They have an amazing Christmas department at this time of year which is worth a visit (you can get personalised Nutella this year, should you need that!). Plus at the moment there are currently 3 Paddington Bear statues inside from the Paddington trail to find! read more

Crowded. So, I waited for a sales person. After waiting for a half an hour, I noticed a clerk in the corner that wasn't working with a customer so I went over to her to ask a question. She was texting and when she saw me she literally turned her back to me. She did answer my question but went right back to texting. I walked out. I was ready to buy but they, apparently, can't service the customers they have. read more

Visited the store on July 1, 2016. It is a beautiful store, the layout reminded me of Saks Fifth Avenue. I was really looking forward to going there because I had missed it on my first London trip, and since it was walking distance from the hotel my husband was happy to indulge my interest. I was excited to be introducing him to one of the classy highlights in the country of my origins. How wrong I was!!! I totally agree with the review posted a month ago, the salespeople are simply HORRID!! I wish I had never gone in. And we examined EVERY single floor. Get this - NOT ONE SALESPERSON IN THE ENTIRE STORE SPOKE TO US. As a matter of fact, the only person who did speak to me was a security guard that I asked directions from ( and he didn't offer to help as I stood there, I had to ask) For example: At the Louis Vuitton boutique, it took two people ( a man and a woman) to work on some stock issue putting away ONE item that was out from another customer and that was clearly more important than showing me the shawl I was interested in. Another two salesmen were too busy talking to each other to see if my husband and I wanted any help. Obviously no sale was made. Another example: a salesman in fine jewelry was TEXTING on his phone, completely oblivious to any customers in his vicinity. Are you kidding me??? He should have been sacked on the spot. Apparently no managers monitor the behavior of the staff. They should take some customer service lessons from Saks Fifth Avenue where I have always felt valued and got the impression that I was the reason the staff had come to work. Delightful. AND they do not seem to care if I am in church clothes or denim shorts, I am treated the same. Or closer by - try taking some sales staff tips from the Burberry flagship store on a Regent Street. There they even take the time to converse in addition to showing their lovely merchandise. Like the other reviewer, I eventually did my shopping in Paris where the customer is valued and respected in every shop you enter. We were in London a few days more and I would have been happy to go back if the first experience had not been so bad. Get your act together folks, CUSTOMERS MATTER! And you can't tell who is going to buy based on their age or attire. TIP: be nice to everyone, it's your job for heavens sake. PS: your yellow shopping bags are hideous and cheap looking, take a hint from Saks on that score too. They use a fine quality bag and present it beautifully with ribbon and tissue. read more

always fun! if you go at the end of the day, the pastries in the food hall are half price~ yum!! though selfridges has super expensive lines, it also got plenty of affordable things, and everything in between. the make up, and lingerie departments are excellent. the hosiery department is pretty disappointing, though. read more

A close tie to Harrods when it comes to size, quality of merchandise, and professionalism of the staff. You could spend an entire day here easily. I like the location. My favorite department was the cards and gift wrap. I don't feel guilty spending $10 on paper plates (you should see them, they look like fine china!). read more

Spent ages in this lovely, historical store and bought a couple of nice bits. Selfridges do what they do very well. Harvey Nicholls should take note. The menswear buyers do a good job of mixing the brand portfollio season on season. Obviously worth a visit. read more

I love this place they have a very good selection of clothes and very nice chocolate bar too.
