A Butcher of DistinctionPreppy, smart-casual menswear with an retro edge.

Meat hooks, cleavers, and butchers’ blocks aren’t normally what you expect to see in a menswear shop, but then this menswear shop is in Shoreditch, just off Brick Lane, slap bang in the heart of London’s “alternative” scene, and is, after all, called “A Butcher of Distinction”. One of about 200 businesses housed in the Truman Brewery – the creative hub of London's East End – this quirky store has made every effort to live up to the reputation of its thriving location. Specialising in preppy style clothes for those who like the stealth-wealth look, polo shirts, sneakers and toys (current, vintage or dead stock) boys - young or old - will find something to dress up in. Head here for Ralph Lauren, Levi’s Vintage, Loomstate and Tricker’s. They stay open until 19:00 every evening so if you're stuck for an outfit for your night out, pop in, get togged up, head for Brick Lane, grab and curry, and get partying... but mind the suit.

Best for:
Menswear, polo shirts and pumps, Ralph Lauren, Levis and Loomstate.

Did you know?
The epicentre of London's Bangladeshi community, Brick Lane is often referred to as "Banglatown".
