Yes, you’ll find all the usual suspects that make your wallet nervous. Apple, Uniqlo, and Jo Malone are all here, but they’re housed inside the original turbine halls. It’s surreal to browse a cashmere scarf while standing where coal once powered half of London.
The M&S Foodhall is a destination in itself. I’m not kidding—it’s a two-floor temple to Percy Pigs and posh sandwiches, with a balcony overlooking the whole atrium. It makes grocery shopping feel like a special occasion.
Fashion That Tells a Story
Looking for something unique? Aesop has a store that feels like a laboratory and a apothecary had a beautiful baby. Then there’s BOSS, whose store actually features a rotating art installation—so you can shop for a suit and stare at modern art at the same time.
Don’t miss Space NK if you love pampering yourself. It’s a treasure trove of cult beauty brands that’ll make you feel like a luxury-savvy detective. You’ll walk out smelling like a million bucks (even if you only spent fifty).
