What is it?
This is THE Topshop.
Why is it hot?
With more than 300 stores across the UK, Topshop's flagship store on London's Oxford Street reigns as the queen of the high street!
Successful collaborations with Kate Moss, Zandra Rhodes, Jonathan Saunders, Christopher Kane and Emma Cooke launched in the last few years and Unique collection was launched by Topshop's own in-house designers and we also saw the high street exhibit at London Fashion Week for the first time.
And of course, with the opening of the first ever American outlet that opened April 2009, Topshop mania looks set to continue!
This flagship store on London's busy Oxford Street not only offers fashion lines. The entire ground floor is a dream-come-true for those addicted to accessories - with bags, scarves and belts in every colour and style imaginable. A gift and candy section can be found in the back area while different jewellery counters (including fair-trade brands such as "Made") occupy the centre of the floor. Topman can be found one level up.
If you need shoes or boots then head to the basement. The selection is outstanding with both Topshop's own brand as well as other retail brands (Kurt Geiger, Nine West, Faith etc.).
This level is also where you'll find other clothing brands - such as Lipsy or Illustrated People - and a reasonable vintage section "Bazaar".
What Else?
Also on zero you will find a café serving right throughout the day for all those shopping pit stops. You can choose from a coffee to cake, and all for under a fiver.
If you are looking for an outfit with only a few hours to spare, you can stop off at the Nail bar. Prices start at £10.
