I have to say, if you or I were to go into this shop now and compared it with what it looked like back in 2000 and 2002, all the staff and the shop itself has changed considerably. Gieves & Hawkes as a Savile Row company has changed a completely, ever since I first knew them as a school boy. But I do still like the Gieves & Hawkes brand, only to some extent.

Also love their basic T's and light long sleeve tops. The sales associates are gracious and helpful and willing to check the back for your size. I was particularly thankful on my last visit because there were about 5 pairs that she had to go searching for in my size. The boxed water is a nice though, especially if you have been out shopping all day AND they take Apple Pay which is so convenient and faster than having to dig out my wallet and credit card.

So I called this store and spoke with a lovely woman. She searched the stock for what I was looking for, and then offered to hold two different sizes for me until I came to try them on. She remembered me when I showed up that weekend, and had both sizes out for me to try. They were polite and not at all pushy. I walked out with boots that I only want to take off when I crawl into bed. Good quality stuff, and customer service to match. I like it!

The Bond Street store showcases a considerable selection of Corneliani items from all lines, including a variety of suits and other official wear as well as casual sportcoats, cardigans and the general casual apparel. The quality of craftsmanship and fabrics and the elegance and sophistication of design are on par with other upscale Italian brands like Brioni, Canali and Zegna. Most items have the overall conservative appearance, although there are cheaper and trendier options with CC Collection line, aimed at younger customers. Prices are fairly considerable as expected from a prestigious and high quality brand. But if looking for upscale elegant menswear in the Mayfair area, Corneliani shop is definitely worth visiting.

I finally had a chance to visit the newest lululemon store located in super swanky Chelsea…read more I have been wearing lululemon for over 10 years now, and being from the states I've shopped at nearly 12 of their stores all across America. It is so nice to see this brand finally make its way to London. There are now two flagship stores in London, the other being in Covent Garden. There is also a showroom (pop-up shop) located in Richmond. The Marylebone showroom recently closed and will be reopening as a permanent store with a larger assortment in the near future. The Chelsea lululemon has the largest assortment of all the lululemon stores I've ever visited. It will be difficult to leave this store empty handed! Note that there are new styles delivered every week. lululemon carries both women's and men's sportswear/lifestyle yoga inspired apparel and accessories. Like all lululemon stores, there's a strong sense of community. They offer a complimentary 1 hour yoga class every Sunday at 10:30am, but space is limited so I suggest you show up early to guarantee a mat! They also have a run club every Saturday morning at 9am that leaves from the store. Although pricey, lululemon sells quality, smartly designed clothing that makes you look good and feel good. They encourage everyone to "sweat once a day" and are all about setting goals for oneself in order to succeed and live a fulfilling life.

I was at the ZARA store, Duke of York Square 65, London SW3 4LY, around 7:50 pm today, 2nd…read moreNovember, with a friend who wanted to visit. The shop lights were still on, and we could see people inside (who we later realised were all staff). We approached the automatic doors, but they didn't open. We checked the store's Saturday closing time on Google Maps and saw it was 7:00 pm. Just as we were about to give up, we noticed a staff member inside with long, straight brown hair, smiling and gesturing for us to come in through the glass door. Although we knew the store had already closed, I initially thought the staff member was being kind and generous by inviting us for a quick look. However, despite her repeated gestures, the automatic door remained shut. After a while, I realised the staff member had no intention of letting us in and was, in fact, making fun of us. I felt completely mocked and ridiculed, leaving me with a sense of being insulted. Later, the same staff member made a gesture with her hands, appearing to mouth an apology, but by then it felt insincere. I couldn't shake the feeling that this incident was racially motivated. She seriously needs to learn how to treat others with basic respect, even before receiving any customer service training. This was the worst experience I have ever had, and I will not be returning to ZARA again.

I bought two items online, at great expense. One arrived with threads already pulling, so I didn't…read morebother trying it on, and decided to return both. I visited the King's Road store, admittedly on a weekend, but it was a terrible experience. I have worked in retail on the King's Road and know just how stressful it can be, nonetheless, I was never allowed to overlook customer service. Firstly, there are two separate queues for buying and returning. While I think this is an intelligent idea overall, it is not well signposted, and the staff in the fitting rooms don't tell you. I had to wait for 30 minutes at the buying till, only to be told to go to the returns queue, and wait for another 30 minutes. Secondly, they seem to treat everyone trying to return items they have bought online like suspects. I wasn't allowed to exchange the products I had bought. I was told I'd have to pay for new items on the day. My refund for my first purchase was made, but it takes up to 12 days to arrive in my bank account. Why should I have to be out of pocket for a fortnight? I had already spent my money. Thirdly, when I raised a perfectly legitimate concern about a lack of signposting in the store about the queue system, and that customers who have already paid for items should be able to exchange, I was told by the manager that I should have asked about these policies when I entered the store. Why is that the case? Customers are not obliged to understand complex policies of firms - they are not employees! I was in two minds about posting a bad review, as I know that working in retail can be horrible, and I wouldn't want to leave hard-working staff feeling deflated. However, Zara's business model seems to have gone very down hill. They rely far too heavily on self-service. This may work in a supermarket when you know exactly what you need, but it simply isn't suitable for a company that sells clothes at mid-range price point. Overall, I would say that the company's focus 'selling fast' has undermined the customer experience, and has left staff feeling disillusioned. Great shame, as it used to be a great experience.

This store is huge, and is mainly for men (not a huge surprise). It has the look and feel of a "flagship", although I'm not actually sure if it's considered one. Half of the upstairs is dedicated to menswear, and all of the lower floor is also men's.You'll find lots of high fashion - nice suits, briefcases, shoes, etc. And now the bad - for me, I just expect more from a luxury brand. A stone's throw away in Sloane Square you can find similar style clothes at a similar price point that are made right here in England, but you won't find anything like that at Hugo Boss. Not that it needs to be made here, but it's very obvious the quality is not as high as it should be for what they charge. Nonetheless, if you go during a sale, you'll probably find what you're looking for at the price you should pay normally!

In the last year I've purchased several dress shirts (about 12) of which 5 had an issue with the cotton by the one of the buttons (always the same) - the issue was that the shirt will get ripped always in one place after wearing it once or twice. Ok, I understand that these things may happen with specific faulty manufacture BUT the customer service I've received was absolutely not acceptable and not helpful partially when you pay for the bran you would expect completely different level. As a matter of fact in USA it would be no question asked just exchange those problematic shirts. When we've worked with the store on Doan square 1) it took them 3 weeks to get back to us 2) the answer was very standard basically removing any sort of responsibility from themselves and pushing it to us) Very disappointing experience.

Luckily, All Saints does a pretty good one, but if you're familiar with my Zara stalking, this one has some of the best sale stuff *in my sizes* !!!

Don't bother going to Oxford street unless you want to dig through a picked over table filled with XXL's! This one will be much quieter, sorted and worth the commute.

Their racks are crammed so do take the time to really look through the overstuffed racks as there is lots to choose from. Also don't be afraid to ask a sales person for help as they do have more stock off the floor that they are more then happy to look for. All Saints is known for biased cut designs so don't be put off by the avant guard design as the clothes themselves have a nice cut and drape on the body. It is a good idea to try items on as what looks like a tattered rag on the hanger is actually very flattering on. I almost passed on a cardigan I thought wasn't all that on the hanger but looked amazing when I put it on. It makes my outfit every time I wear it that I wish I had bought two!
