Everything that I WISH forever21 was. Same price range, so nice and cheap, but the clothes are British fashions so it is much, much cuter! The problem is, it is huge, very busy, and VERY overwhelming. I spent an hour in there and ended up not buying anything because I just couldn't process everything. But I will persevere!
H&M:
More like the NYC H&M stores of America than some others I have been to-- reasonable prices, but generally more tasteful fashions. You won't find very many graphic t-shirts here. I got an awesome black dress for about $32.
I'm still trying to get the hang of British fashion. It doesn't help that it's so gloomy outside that I just want to snuggle in my PJs the entire day. The one thing I have down is the long black belted pea coat, which pretty much every single person in this city has. Thank you 'Bela and Pop-Pop!
Iceland:
The cheapest grocery store. I got giant bags of vegetables for 1 pound. Amazing!
Sainsbury's:
The best for every day shopping, in my opinion. They have a great lunch deal where you can pick a sandwich from a pretty wide selection, a bag of crisps, and a drink and it only costs 3 pounds.
Brixton:
Caribbean area of London! So cool. They have wonderful spices and seasoning mixes, as well as all of the foods you were obsessed with on your trip to Jamaica but could never find again anywhere else. And a giant tray of cow feet (ew?). Really cool to check out if you're a foodie.
Tesco:
Very small, express grocery store that stays open late. Has all the basics (milk, eggs, a few vegetables, cereal, bread, and of course CADBURY!)
I have decided that every night I have to try one new chocolate thing. This way, I can eat an obscene amount of chocolate with the excuse that I am achieving something in the name of research.
