SHOPS AND SHOPPING IN LONDON

A

Most of London’s big department stores and rich shops are in the West End.

One of the most popular shopping centres in the West End is Oxford Street. Its nice shops and department stores attract not only English people but people from all over the world. It is always crowded with people, espe­ cially at sale times, in January and July.

Most shops and department stores open at 10 a.m. and close between 5.30 p.m.— 6 p.m. except on Sundays. If you want to go shopping after office hours you can make a purchase on Thursday or Friday, as the shops in Oxford street close later on that day.

One of the largest department stores in Oxford Street is Selfridges1. It has a lot of departments: Men’s and Women’s W ear, Children’s Clothes, Bedding, Stationery, Electrical Goods, Household Goods and many others.

Selfridges is a very expensive department store that is why most Lon­ doners prefer to go to cheaper shops: Marks and Spencer for clothes and supermarkets for food.

Marks and Spencer is a self-service chain store2. It sells quality goods at reasonable prices, therefore it is very popular.

Supermarkets, many of which are chain stores, sell not only food but household goods too.
