Always have good level of stock, replenished regularly. Changing rooms rubbish though as there are only two that you often have to queue for without staff thee too, people just abandon the clothes they didn't like and leave them to be tripped over by other customers. Lovely size store, great location but difficult to get in or out on Sat as market stall just outside which is not their fault but access can be difficult. It is well worth a visit especially if you are in search of a bargain.

There is a considerable selection of casual and official wear from a variety of high end brands including Prada, Gucci, Zegna, D&G, Polo, etc. Prices are similar to what you'd be charged for the same items in brands' own boutiques in London. As most luxury retailers, they hold big sales twice a year offering to buy remains from the previous season's collection more affordably.

Last time I was in there I couldn't see any APC or nudie or viv westwood, marc by marc jacobs and so on and so forth, but the foundations of any exclusive and stylish wardrobe can be built from this store. Bearing in mind you wouldnt find a shop in the same league that is also as well established as Giulio, you can be sure they're the one stop shop to the top cloth.

Heroes stocks men's clothing and accessories from some traditional as well as up and coming British brands. The store manager was very knowledgable about each line, discussing what each brand was known for and why. But, he was never pushy, it was a really pleasant conversation. We didn't buy anything that day, but we will definitely pop by to see what they have the next time we find ourselves in the neighborhood!

Ede & Ravenscroft is the go to for quality menswear, which while expensive, is a little more…read morepalatable during the end of season sale. I actually really like their clothes and selection, so the below won't actually stop me from coming again. Their shirts are surprisingly form fitting and require little additional alteration out of the wrapping. Here are the litany of downsides to note, which I acknowledge is from a North American perspective (see Harry Rosen in Canada, Barneys and Saks Fifth in the US as the standard) and may be unfair compared to other end British houses: 1) You cannot try on the shirts. They give you a sample shirt which gives you a sense of the fit, but you can never know for sure. I know it's a pain to repackage shirts, and also risk them becoming discolored if a particularly dirty individual tried it on, but if other places don't see a problem with this, why do you? 2) Alterations are extra and are NOT included. Are you kidding me? Normally if you buy something full price (that is, not on sale) this is included. Nope, something like 15 pounds for shirt cuffs, another 10 to shorten a shirt, and so on and so forth. They say they have to recover their costs and send the clothes to their tailors in London. If you go out and get it altered at your own tailor, you risk them not taking any responsibility for any defects to your clothing so in essence, you don't have much of a choice. 3) I am a young person in Cambridge shopping at your store for a tux shirt, studs and a morning jacket. How do you not ask if I'm a student or tell me about the 10% student discount? I just discovered this on their website (in order to inquire about point #4) after our purchases, and well too late, I'm now back in Canada now. 4) They do not farm out their VAT paperwork, so it is a much bigger pain to reclaim the VAT if you are an out of towner looking to reclaim the tax. Instead of getting the refund instantly at the airport, you actually have to mail the paperwork back to them after getting it stamped at customs. And guess what, they didn't give us a heads up about this, nor did they give us the envelope and stamp to send it from the airport. Now, we'll see how long it takes for them to get us our refund back.
