Name of Shop: Borders and CVO Firevault
The Dalai Lama says everyone should spend atleast five minutes alone everyday. Fulfil your quota at the cafe in Borders bookshop- a cappucino and a good book are the only props required. Also check out CVO Firevault-Is it a fireplace showroom, a fashion boutique or a cafe?? This place mus be having a identity crisis, but it makes a very relaxed shopping experience. If you like what u see, the fireplaces are for sale, which means u dont need to buy them but can create the smae cozy atmosphere in the comfort of your own home.
What To Buy: NOTHING
What To Pay: NOTHING AGAIN!!!!

If money is no object, London's shopping can be the best in the world. From world-famous department stores such as Harrods and Fortnum and Mason to lowly-but-lively street markets, you'll discover a kaleidoscope of possibilities. Antique hounds and book lovers, in particular, will find the city a veritable paradise.
What To Buy: Among our favorite streets to browse along is Bond Street. The designer venues on this shopping strip attract the big spenders. New Bond Street runs just south of Oxford Street; it becomes Old Bond Street -- where prices are even higher -- just north of Piccadilly. Another good spot is Kensington High Street, which offers a range of national chain stores together with more specialized shops. If you venture farther into South Kensington (Sloane Street, in particular), you'll find high-end boutiques and upmarket department stores. King's Road in Chelsea is a place for the hip to be seen, browsing the numerous antique shops. For bookshops -- new, secondhand and antiquarian -- head to Charing Cross Road, between the Leicester Square and Tottenham Court Road Underground stations.
What To Pay: Woooaaahhhh!!!!
