London's department stores are the complete one-stop shopping experience, selling just about everything under the sun. Each has their own speciality - House of Fraser, clothes, John Lewis, homeware, Fortnum & Mason, food - but they all stock a vast range of goods. If you want to take advantage of the sales but don't have the energy for trudging from shop to shop they're ideal. Many of them even have cafes and restaurants where you can rest and refuel mid-shop, not to mention the Selfridges champagne bar...
 Selfridges Selfridges, Oxford Street, W1A 1AB 26th December 2006 - 31st January 2007 "I shop, therefore I am" is the Selfridges motto, even after Christmas. This gargantuan shop is an elegant heaven of hundreds of component parts where you could easily spend a couple of days and a sultan's inheritance. Combining everyday kit with heaps of razzle-dazzle this is an all-embracing, exciting one-stop shop. Even at sale prices Mui Mui, Mulberry, Belenciaga and Burberry are a major investment, but for those with a slimmer wallet the selection of Diesel, Warehouse and Karen Millen is superb. Plus there's plenty for the boys too with a long list of designers from Paul Smith to Hugo Boss. But it's not just clothes - homeware, food, electricals and all the rest - will be knocked down by up to 60%.
