Uh, ok. After a day filled with shopping, my group wanted to stop at Top Shop. Apparently this is a top clothing shop in London, but really falls flat in regards to selection and quality. Even after an hour of browsing, I have come to the conclusion that this store has the quality of H&M or Forever 21 - just with higher prices and the occasional name brand. Items on sale were very odd looking and disorganized. Not exactly the place I'd like to buy anything, I tried. read more

USA DO NOT PURCHASE ON-LINE GIFT CARDS from TopShop! On the US TopShop website, the gift cards are electronically generated in EUROS and TopShop stores (in this case, The Grove TopShop in LA) DOES NOT HONOR THEM because "they are not in US dollars". After receiving a $200 gift card that they would not honor, I called their US Customer service number. The US customer service telephone lines ring and then disconnect - continuously. I called their UK customer service number that had an automated "your call is important to us" that kept me on hold for over 40 minutes before connecting to a person (the international phone call alone cost $210). The UK customer service guy checked it all out, confirmed the card, acknowledged the issue, and said they would reissue it in US dollars and email it within the week. No gift card was received. Instead, an email asking for CONFIRMATION of full name, address and zip code. (Image attached) Responded to them - no response. Emailed them again (after the first $200 phone charge I wasn't going to call again) - put in a "que" per automated response saying they were very busy and warning that it I sent another email it would put me on the end of the line and start the process all over again.(see attached) Endless loop - with no results whatsoever. read more

I rarely like nor visit Topshop brands but this store is hard not to miss being towards the Regent Street and Oxford Circus end of Oxford Street, with it is a stone's throw away from Oxford Circus Underground Station and just under half a mile away from Bond Street (Jubilee line, close to department stores) and Tottenham Court Road stations, London's flagship shopping street (Oxford St) home to many of our biggest retail chains flagship stores - Topshop here is no exception which also combines and incorporates the Topman brand, dedicated to men as Topshop is to women. This store was bright, modern and other than the lack of staff it had a decent feel to it - being over multiple floors including a rather unorthodox idea of a barbershop, nail bar and Lola's Cupcakes, as well as a few other brands which make this Topshop feel like it's going above and beyond a clothing shop into a mini department store. (Mini shouldn't take away from the store's size) I do feel the store could have better located its' Click and Collect - I understand why they want people to have to go into the store, onto a different floor to pick up orders but I can't help but feel this ruins the whole convenience aspect of the store. One of the best Topman locations I have visited out of the numerous branches I've seen in the UK but still with improvements to make. 4* read more

I'm neutral about topshop in general but I like this particular location because it offers much more consignment options than other topshop locations. Normally I'd go straight to the bottom floor where there are a big collection of the consignment brands, which are not a part of Topshop but have partnership with the brand and often sell exclusively at this location. It's a great place to find some unusual pieces! There are also a cafe at the bottom floor and free wifi, which is a great place to deposit your unwilling shopping companion. read more

It's a huge store and has lots of options but it's just so crowded on the top floor. No matter when I go, it's been this way for years and it puts me off shopping there honestly. Staff can be rude and not always helpful. read more

The has been the best Topshop I've ever been to, compared to Las Vegas, Houston, NY, and the other Topshop in London by St. Paul's Cathedral. It has many floors and is one of the biggest ones I've been to as well. But this review does go for any location. I personally love Topshop because it is the only store that really fits me 100% (I am petite and is really hard to find clothes) and one of the stores where I am always able to find something for a great price. I even converted my boyfriend into shopping here because they offer a lot of different style for men. The quality has been great so far, even after many washes. This particular location does offer more options compared to the St Paul location, so if you don't have time to waste, come here instead. The Oxford Circus stop is right here as well. read more

I love clothes but I hate shopping for them. For me, there is no thrill in the hunt. But what if there was a way to have everything in your size and specification pulled for you and waiting in a dressing room? It is a dream no more, enter TopShop Personal Shopping. Whilst this location is tremendously overwhelming when you go it alone, it's utterly manageable with help from TopShop personal shoppers. During my first appointment, I spent nearly three hours trying on so many things! It felt like working with a stylist - she brought shoes, accessories (including a necklace I have now worn for years and always get compliments on), knew the entire collection intimately, even pulled items from swim when I told her I was going to Majorca. All you have to do is try everything on and decide what you want and what you don't. Following that you pay at a dedicated counter (no lines here ladies!). In a word, amazing. TopShop personal shopping made me question ever shopping without help again. read more

I believe that every girl has a love/hate relationship with Topshop... Love because: - of its size. - of the variety of clothes they sell - some for every occasion and to everyone's taste. - of its accessories section. - its collaboration with top notch designers such as Louise Goldin, Christopher Kane, or even Kate Moss if she is your cup of tea. - of its precious 10% student discount. - of its vintage section. - of its shoe collection. Hate because: - of its size. - of the variety of clothes they sell, which ultimately tends to induce a severe headache and a burst of indecision. - it is ALWAYS busy. - of its cheap materials. - there are always tall, modelesque beings walking around making you feel a surge of envy and perhaps a little hatred. - of its prices. - you will only ever be able to wear a Topshop item for one season only before it either becomes deformed from washing or it will just go out of fashion. - of its music which usually happens to be play on repeat. The frequency you will spend in this store will always depend on what will win you over, the pros or the cons. All I can say is that I will still be heading here on a regular basis, since ultimately I can't help it, I do really like it here. read more

SALE - probably not the best time of year to visit Top Shop, unless you fancy trawling through rows and rows of random clothes. You may hit the fashion jackpot and end up with a mega bargain, but you are more likely to leave frustrated. Considering how reasonably priced the regular collections are, this is definitely a more pleasant experience during normal seasons. I came with my niece who was visiting from Germany and we left empty-handed. It was frustrating to see the same items dotting around all over the shop, the displays didn't make much sense with only denim in its own obvious dedicated corner. The changing room queues looked more scary than they turned out to be, there's actually plenty of space, making waiting times fairly reasonable - for both shoppers and their friends, there's plenty of seating for aunties and boyfriends. read more

Worst till ever...I wanted to get 4 gift cards for 50 pounds each so totall of 200 pounds..I paid with my card..after this they made a mistake of charging one card with one hundred and another for 50..which they said will take a long time to fix so i told them not a problem its ok..but then they couldn't charge a remaining card with the remaining 50 cause it shows that they did but when they swipe ther card it shows that it is faulty and empty.. After 2 ppl in the till trying to figure out what to do and where is my remaining 50 pounds.. I told them I paid 200 ponds and have two cards with 150 ..so either they give me a card with my 50 pounds or they give me 50 as a refund in cash.. they said they can't.. And after 20 minutes and talking i had to leave cause a car was waiting for me and i had an appointment.so I left without my 50 pounds.. Total incompetence read more

I hate this hell hole. And I mean that. Fair enough, it has an amazing selection of clothing, from topshop basic stuff to proper designer boutique stuff to pants which cost 40 quid. The pants are actually really pretty but I can't afford them, really. What I really hate is the atmosphere, the air of desperation, thousands of girls scrabbleing around in an attempt to clothe themselves in a way in which they will appear 'cool'. Because that is all it is really, Topshop is cool and people who want to shop there want to look cool. I like topshop clothes generally, but I do not like the ethics that go with them. No way. So Topshop Oxford Street, unless you go ridiculously early in the morning, is a thriving hellhole of oestrogen over brain matter, insanity over sanity, materialism over the reality of the credit crunch... you lose your mind in there because the clothing laid out is oh so tantilsing yet there is so much of it and so many other people everywhere pushing and shoving and grabbing and scratching, It puts you off clothes, shopping and life. And I like all three of those things thankyou very much. Also, apparently they slave drive their workers and the discount is a really measly 15%, you get 10% off with a student card anyways. read more

This place was like Mecca for me when I first moved to London, I couldn't get enough of the place. They had everything I needed in one massive building. After a while though, it just seems to vast and too difficult to make any decisions at all once you step food inside. I can't even get off the ground floor sometimes unless a herd of teenagers happens to push me down the escalators to the boutique and footwear sections. While I do buy a lot of clothes in Topshop, this particular branch drains the life out of me a bit at this stage. I now only go there when a non-London based visitor comes to stay and insists on the Oxford Circus emporium as their first port of call. Avoid during the January sales at all costs, its every man, child and woman for themselves. read more

Difficult to beat Topshop these days for affordable, yet completely of the moment fashion. A lot of pieces are strongly inspired from the catwalk, and although quality is a bit patchy, you can't really ask for more for the price. This flagship store is the best, with a fantastic choice, good location and even a personal shopper service if you are feeling a bit lazy. And a cafe if you need a break due to 'overshopping'. I think their best items for this season are dresses, from mini to maxi. Check out accessories too, very good sunglasses and belts. Impossible to walk out without having made a purchase. read more

This places is LONDON RAH CENTRAL... BUT I STILL REALLY LIKE TOP SHOP.... but this places gets 4 stars for being a wee to overwhelming and messy...... kind of like the H&M I use to frequent when I lived in San Francisco... Just way to many pushy people (especially girls).... I mean I understand its hard to keep the store clean with so many people coming in and out all the time but JEEZZZ they are doing so much business they should just get more staff. But besides that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Like a lot of Topshops it has a Topman near by so I can always pawn of the boys who seem to go shopping with me a lot in Topman and not have to worry about them. But the like to walk with me ANYWAYS to check out the "fit girls" ahahahhaha... Found a really cute dress in here but wanted a different size so when I went on to order it they didn't have it. I am not sure if this shop just sells unique things because it is so large but it was kind of a let down. NOTE to some of the RAH'S who tend to frequent this store: LESS MAKE UP IS MORE and PLEASE BRUSH YOUR HAIR, LOOKING POSH DOES NOT MEAN HAVING A RAT'S NEST OF TEASED HAIR... read more

Wow, it upsets me that there are so few reviews by locals of this place so I have decided to dedicate a good morning review of this shop. As a Londoner, this is a destination shop. If you need to re-vamp your wardrobe, find that perfect Christmas oufit or even get a belt to match your fluro body-con playsuit, you are more likely to find it here than anywhere else in London. This is the largest ladies fashion store in the world and with 4 floors of joy that's no surprise. This unfortunately is a good thing as well as a bad one. It's crammed with tourists and sweaty teens in town for the day and then the die hard fashionistas (i would include myself in that latter group). If you want to do this like a local, take the afternoon off work, eat lunch close by (but not in the cafe in store) for energy and then head straight to the basment. This is where you will find a killer selection of independent designers hand picked and displayed in all their glory. You'll also be in their shoe boutique...need I say more! After some time here browse the selection on the other floors but most of it will be the generic crap that everyone else is wearing but make sure you stop off at the accessories and misc floor (that's the first floor) to finish your look. The locals call this place "toppers," not to be confused with Mr. Toppers! ps. ask for personal stylist Nicky Woodvine, she rock my socks! read more

Flagship stores are really worth checking out, especially in a place like Oxford Street, London. This one happens to include things like coffee shops and restaurants and mini boutiques and guest designer stalls and cupcake stands and a hair braiding bar and frozen yoghurt, and, and... just go. It's pretty cool to experience. It can be overwhelming, too. Not the just the sheer volume of shit to get through, but the crowds. Come mentally prepared, give yourself time to browse and, if you're really sensitive to blaring music and pushy tourists, bring headphones. I find this helps my anxiety immensely. I find Topshop caters to all sorts, so most anyone can find what they're looking for, taste wise. The jewellery area here is GREAT, way bigger than your average Topshop, and I like that it's connected to Miss Selfridge so you can wander through there as well without having to ditch your armload of stuff. It's decently laid out, given the size of the space (four floors) so you're not constantly coming across more shoes you didn't see before or having to change floors to find ALL the menswear. There's also a nice, clean public bathroom (which are short supply in general in Central London). Avoid coming on the weekends if you can (but this place will always be busy, really). Take exit 7 from the Oxford St tube station and you can't miss it. read more

For some reason I expected the clothes to be different, perhaps it's just a somewhat different style compared to what I was looking for. That being said, staff were great and the fitting rooms were large and clean. Just not my cup of tea. read more

My love for the accessories section at TopShop edges on unhealthy. When two hours of browsing passes like two minutes, you know you're onto something guuuud. Earrings and bangles and necklaces and headbands and peacock feathers and handbags and belts and rings and scarves and sunglasses and hats and boas and bells and whistles and pretty pretty pretty. Let's just say that my "ohhh... something shiny" reaction is full throttle in here, and at times I can barely maintain anything resembling speech patterns other than primal feminine grunts of "oooohhh!" and "eeeeiiiii!" and if I really push it, some "ahhh, look its." Sure there are the compulsory floors and floors of clothes and crowds and general mayhem, but for bling on a budget, Topshop is the only shop for me. read more

It's been nearly a decade since I was last in this store. It goes without saying that my fashion tastes have changed, but I still found plenty at this shop that suited my current style. New to me was the vintage section downstairs; dresses and shoes sorted by color, very cool. However, I found the pieces overpriced (£90 for a polyester dress) even if most of them were made in Italy or France. Also new was TopShop make up, complete with an in-store assessment team. I didn't bother though as I am not a make-up experimenter and stick with brands I've come to trust. The jewelry section is mind-blowing and great for trends--the epitome of a "high street versions" for all the designer pieces you can't afford (and would be an idiot to pay for even if you could). Shoe section is equally impressive, though not very many classy pairs were on site. I picked up some Tom's-esque slip-ons. Anything you can think of--from head to toe, from hats to undies--is available here. You'd ideally need a good two hours or more to cull the shop to its fullest, and also should leave your better half at home or at the pub. The music is ear-splitting and the store is humongous. It is definitely sensory overload in this TopShop, so make sure you enter with your game face on. read more

Attention boys: set foot in this Topshop store, and you will leave with a deep and intimate knowledge of your personal hell. Attention girls: this Topshop is the fucking TITS. Three floors of knitted, sequinned, mini-skirted, leather-hotpants glory, complete with pick & mix sweets stations, cupcake shops, (relatively) clean loos in the basement and a fairly agressive dressing room traffic system that makes it easy to get in and out of that changing room, fast. I could literally spend an entire day in here, wetting myself over the vintage and boutique collections and trying on sky-high heels. Students: flash your cards for a nice little discount. Foreigners: let them know you're from abroad. I paid for all my purchases in dollars, using a fairly competitive exchange rate and forgoing my bank's conversion fee. read more

You might be a real clusterfuck of a store but I did get some Lady Gaga inspired shoes for £40 ($75)! That alone makes you awesome in my book! Overall clothing is along the line of H&M with a more Boho/trendy feel to it. Accessories are a lot better than H&M, and there is a great selection of handbags to choose from (costs more than Forever21 & only slightly better in quality). I would have dropped some ££ on a slouchy bag, but for almost £90 my money was better spent getting shoes at The Office instead. Way better than the TopShop in NYC, although I did go in August when it was a sweltering tropical jungle. Will definitely come back to get more cute nick-nacks for my hair :) read more

Flocked with tourists and locals alike, this is a huge Topshop location and you can easily spend hours here rummaging through accessories and clothing. As soon as I got to Oxford Circus, it started raining so I was thankful for the short distance between the underground and the store. You can easily lose track of time and money in this place. One royal blue turban I had my eye on was frigging 40 pounds and I was highly astonished as to why. Anyhow such is Top shop, ranging from H&M price to Nordstorm/Barney's price range. read more

I have a love/hate relationship with you, TopShop. You have cute clothes, but the prices vary in a major way. And you are always full of idiots. And I always forget about how cute your shoes and accessories are. So when I've finished rifling through the racks of clothes for hours, I suddenly remember about the extras, and then spend more hours perusing your handbags and sunglasses and belts. Screw you, TopShop. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Come back. read more

Do you have claustrophobia? Do you occasionally suffer from anxiety? Are you sometimes uneasy in a crowd? Do you prefer a LOT of a few things, rather than a FEW of a lot of things? Are you in a rush? Do you know what you are shopping for? If you answered "YES" to any of the above, avoid TopShop at all costs. However, if you are on a shopping slash wandering adventure, and/or have never been to TopShop in Soho (not the same as other TopShops!), coooomeee onnnn downnnn!!! **Warning: expect a lot of Oxford Commas below. This place needs DESCRIPTION. A mecca of cheap, Forever21ish finds rubbing shoulders with avante garde high fashion pieces, sprinkled among true vintage consignments and artisan wares and frosted with unique vendors such as Hersheson's Blowdry Bar, Blink Brow Bar, Metal Morphosis Piercings, Wah Nail Salon, and a cafeteria, TopShop Oxford Street is more than a one-stop shop, it's a one-stop for the afternoon, and maybe stay into the evening, and then head out for a night on the town-eria. Four floors of fashion, music, exciting prices (jewelry), depressing prices (designer duds), and chaos, don't be surprised if you end up on the fourth floor (actually called floor 2) and can't make your way down. Surprise! There's no down escalator. You have to make your way to the back and take the elevator. 0 is street level, -2 is the bottom basement floor, and everything else is in between. Hungry from your many many miles of going up, down, and inbetween? Stop by the yogurt stand on the main level near the jewelry section. I could honestly live in here. I suffer from a bout of anxiety in the massive crowds and overwhelming choices at times, but if I lived in a little shoebox apartment above TopShop, I'd be the most fashionable person I've ever met. And still be able to afford to eat. Okay, maybe not eat a lot, because who can pass up a £25 blowout & style once or twice a week..... read more

I used to looooove TS! But the past couple of years it seems a bit lack luster. I try, I really do, I go in card in hand, ready to spend money, get a non-caloric pick me up that costs a little more then a sandwich. It was fab! A London icon, your go-to shop for fun. Now TS is trying to up market itself somewhat and it has changed the whole vibe of the product. First there was Gwenyth Paltrow talking about how she shopped there, then Kate Moss came on board to 'fashion' it up, when frankly it already was. It went to America, and its global now instead a cult brand. Thanks to TS there is this growing trend of men working in women clothing departments, and that's fine if it were just that. But instead it has created a group of wanna be stylists exuding diva behavior and pretending that they are on some reality telly programme. It exhausts me. Major attitude, can't be bothered to do much unless they feel motivated. All that aside, I could always count on finding a few cute club tops in there. Now, its like they are trying to compete with designer denim or something with a couple dozen t shirts or uber trendy, and gone are the cute fun tops, the stretchy lace and fringe type things, which looked a bit more special. read more

Nearly too big and too much to choose from, but still shopping heaven. I somehow always managed to get there at a time, when it is not terribly crowded and when it was no problem to get into a fitting room. I love the selection of item, the shoe section, all the basics you can get there, the decoration, the friendly staff, simply everything. But seriously, this shop is simply too big, I can never manage more than one floor in a day, otherwise I would suffer from a major shopping-overkill. One time, when I apparently overdid it, I forgot to take my change. I was chit-chatting with the girl at the check-out and in the end we had both forgotten about the change. Later on I realized that my wallet was surprisingly empty and I though to myself "Hey, I should at least have about 19 pounds of change from my Topshop nirvana". The next day I went back to Topshop and explained the situation. It did not even take 15 minutes in which the lovely lady at the check-out talked to finances and the surveillance camera team and I got my change. They were actually able to confirm that I did not get my change. I think, this is quite impressive! Thumbs up for Topshop! read more

TopShop is one of the greatest department stores ever for young people! It has the sheer quantity and diversity that make department stores so great, yet very fashion forward. I think it's great that they have a vintage section...I mean, I've never seen a dept store with a vintage section! And every accessory or pair of tights you could dream up! I think most anyone could find something here to suit them. This place is visually and mentally stimulating...from the clothes to the clientele... My only complaint is the madness of it all. You have to psyche yourself up to take a trip to TopShop in the first place, but then to face Oxford St. is a whole other story! read more

I think I love you Top Shop. Especially this one. The size of this one is enormous. I think we should have budgeted at least 4 hours to spend pursuing this place. Instead Natascha B. and I thought we could do all our browsing of this massive place in 30 mins. So we plan to meet in the Top Shop Maternity section in 30 minutes, and hopefully we can get some sight seeing done afterwards. 30 minutes later... we met and show each other the small amount of items we had gotten which was like 20 items for myself and 12 for my friend and it's like ok. We need another 30 minutes. Then after doing the same thing again, another 20 minutes in addition to that. I barely made the top floor for accessories. The basement has a great dressing room, shoes, as well as boutique items. Mid floor has all their lines. 80s attire, new age, punk, you name it they got it. Top Shop is like 1000x better than Forever 21. Not only that, for vacationers to the UK, they do the Duty free thing. Ask for it at the cashier. I surely enjoyed every segment of the 30 minute intervals that we spend here looking for things. read more

Huge collection of mostly poorly made clothes selling for extortionate amount. It's a warren in there. And if you find yourself in here on the weekend, then you really do have my sympathies. That being said, I do like a well dressed lady. Topshop - a necessary evil. read more

Everytime I'm out at Oxford Street I promise myself that I won't go into Topshop..and I always end up..at Topshop. The store is huge, and has everything..ground floor is accessories, 1st floor is mens clothes, -1 is womens clothes and -2 is shoes and dresses. I do hate how chaotic Topshop is- girls running around everywhere, long lines for the changing rooms..long lines for the cashiers..it's way too crazy in there. While I am a big fan of the accessories and the shoes and dresses on -2, the actual womens clothing is not my thing. Yeah, some of it is nice, but the price is absolutely ridiculous for something that's considered 'high street'. Affordable my ass. read more

OH MI GAT! This place is the UK version of H&M and Forever 21 - combined! It took me an hour just to walk through it and it was really overwelming. So many styles and trends (colors!) that you don't see in the US until like a year later. It's kind of pricey b/c of the dollar exchange, but you can get cute pieces that seem to be a bit better quality than Forever 21. The accessories and shoes section was insane. Much more than what is offered here in the US at more Forever 21 stores. There were so many girls in here. It's like a fire hazard. I think it's three stories. When we were there, they were still offering a student discount - I think it was 10 percent. read more

TALL SECTION REVIEW!!! Ive been going to TopShop Oxford street for years and Ive seen Tall section being moved to all parts of the middle floor. Ive seen this section going from a really small in a corner to currently bigger then normal now being next to a changing room. Over the years I have bought trouser never jeans because my booty is to big for their jeans, the length is great just not on the backside. Ive also bought tops to coats. With Tall section I'm never overwhelmed with joy, the clothes don't move me apart from the odd garment or recently a coat that makes me gasp with excitement. I feel average sized girls and petite girls get a better deal with their clothes and i tend to long for their clothes more, wishing this item was a in Tall section. I will still come here because its the only TopShop in the city that still keep this section while others have a Tall section for a while and then its removed. The prices for their clothes are cheaper then independent tall clothing shops. I still have faith in the section, they do tend to have the odd gem plus I never make a trip to Oxford street without going in here, i have not got much of a choice when your rare species. read more

An interesting store, but I didn't do it right. I was in this store on a trip to London without my wife. I walked by and thought I could handle it. No way. She would have know exactly what to buy. I was lost and overwhelmed. read more

When D told me I should go to Oxford Circus and check this place out, I thought, "Meh, what could London have that Los Angeles doesn't?" And when he told me that this place is like a Forever 21, I immediately said NO, given I don't care for Forever 21 at all. I think it's all basically rubbish. However, while in the area, my curiosity got the better of me and I ended up wandering in to take a quick look-see. Immediately, I was drawn in by their accessories -- clutches, wallets, coin purses, hats, scarves ... I was in accessories heaven! Even before getting to the clothes, I was already mesmerized by the sheer number of goods they had in store. Every color you'd want, every texture you adore -- Top Shop has it all! Maybe the quality isn't the best but it's definitely great for the money you'd spend. And I'd say that the clothes are more expensive that Forever 21, but Top Shop's quality far surpasses F21. I can't even begin to tell you just HOW much they have. The assortment of interesting bags and scarves, the colors in every hue/tone all just blew me away. The clothes are on the expensive side. Remember: in the UK, you have to buy a size up. I forgot this, so I had to go back to get a size that'd fit. So please be sure to grab two sizes for everything you want to try! The dressing room is a mess; there is a huge line that circles around the room. I think if you know your size and what you like, you should skip the dressing room and just buy the dang thing. (The line for the cashier isn't short, either.) They also have a cupcake stand inside! And right next to it, they have the biggest collection of jewelry. I didn't even want to take a look around that area because I knew I'd just be browsing for hours. -_- Overall, I'm glad I took the time to check out Top Shop. I really wish Top Shop would come on over to California! Please? I guess I'll have to settle for their online store. :P When I visit London again (hopefully next year), I am definitely going to stop by and get a little shopping done. ;) Have fun ladies! (And to the men - they have Top Shop men right next to it!) read more

I'm not sure how bad off the U.K economy is doing, but I did a great deal to stimulate it while I was in London, including here at Top Shop. (While shopping I pretended the prices on the tags were U.S$ instead of British pound.) And, you're Welcome! read more

This place is craaaaaaaaazy huge! The one in NY is a peanut compared to this one. Several floors, several areas - I got lost trying to get out the first time I tried to leave! Someone said that you have to give yourself at least a few hours to really shop here and I would wholeheartedly agree. I was lucky enough to have some time to kill before flying back home and if I didn't feel so relaxed and didn't have the time to go over the same racks several times, I wouldn't have some of the pieces that I ended up taking back with me. I think the intimates are some of the best things you can buy here. Many people have commented on the quality of the clothes for the price you pay for, and I would agree that quality doesn't match the price. However, you're also paying for the style - TopShop is pretty trendy. One other plus is that they honor a student discount of 10% off which I used a LOT. In any case, come and shop here especially if you have the time. You can't leave London without stopping by! read more

Insane! So many customers. All the knock offs of designer labels you can dream of. Jaded since all my fellow fashion designers come to knock off the knock offs. Don't get me wrong, it's a vicious cycle propelled by unimaginative bosses overwhelmed by deadlines. read more

Oh, TopShop, how I miss thee! This place is huge. TopShop virgins should be advised to allow themselves at least 3 hours to browse. Most of the clothes are very trendy, but you can find some fairly basic pieces that you'll wear for years to come as well. My favorite trousers for clubs/ raves are a pair with zippered pockets I got here 6 years ago. Around the same time, I got some pinstriped trousers I still wear for work. I am tall and find it very difficult to find trousers that fit nicely, so I'd definitely recommend TopShop to any tall or petite girls. Their range of sizes is great! Prices range from fantastic to "you want *how much* for a high street item?!?" but it is almost impossible to walk out of this store empty handed. I just wish we had TopShop in the US! read more
