John Lewis is always my first choice, Selfridges second.

Dinahmo I can assure you Hamleys is still there, all five floors shock

Rackhams in Birmingham, later House of Fraser, now departed.
My wedding dress and going away outfit, some maternity clothes, and many many shoes and handbags came from there.

When I was a lot younger, living in London, a trip round the department stores was one of my ideas of heaven. Sadly some of the best are long gone and I was wondering if there are any that you miss (anywhere)

My choices are Galeries Lafayette (on Regent Street, now Hamleys - unless that's now gone), Simpsons of Piccadilly and Woollands (Knightsbridge). 50 years on I can still remember shoes that I bought in the first two.
