Everyone knows no trip is complete without some (or a lot) of shopping. It?s a good thing there are many bargains to be had near and around your accommodation if you are lucky enough to be staying near Hyde Park. There?s something for everyone: fashion, souvenirs, gourmet fare and more.
Shop Till You Drop
What?s next after you?ve seen the Tower of London, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and crossed off almost every item on the list of top must-see sights all around your Hyde Park hotel? London?s shopping centres, of course! No matter how busy your itinerary may be, you?ll always be sure to find time for some shopping. The city has plenty of choices no matter what you may be looking for.
Markets
Whether you?re looking for art and antiques, food and flowers, crafts and souvenirs or any other item of interest in between, you?re certain to find them in the markets around your Hyde Park hotel. London?s markets are places of great adventure, where you can spend hours simply wandering about, and the greatest thrill is finding the bargains along the way!
Among the most popular are Portobello Road Market, which was previously famous for antiques but is now also filled with stalls carrying different items such as clothing, music, food and more; Covent Garden, an architectural marvel housed in and around the Market Building and Piazzas, where street performers entertain you as you shop; Petticoat Lane, famed for its bargain fashions; Old Spitalfields Market with its many stalls, restaurants and bars; and Greenwich Market with its beautiful products from independent designers and cottage craftsmen.
Food Shopping
Delicious snacks, gourmet fare and more are to be found aplenty in the area around your Hyde Park hotel. London?s speciality shops, delicatessens and more offer delicious treats to eat on the spot or take away with you. Twinings Tea Shop and Museum showcases that fine English drink ? tea! Fortnum & Mason, on the other hand, has a food hall with the distinction of having a Royal appointment to stock the larder of the Queen with the finest cheeses, caviar, fresh fruit, meats and more. Borough Market, a delight to visit, is a gourmet?s paradise with its wide away of special ingredients and artisanal treats.
Department Stores
If you?re looking for different types of honest-to-goodness British items (food and non-edibles) to bring home, you?ll find the gamut of them under one roof at any of the department stores around your Hyde Park hotel. London?s mammoth superstores carry all types of distinctively British items from food to clothing to souvenirs. Check out Marks and Spencer, Selfridge?s and Harrod?s ? you?ll find what you?re looking for and probably quite a few things you aren?t!
