Last week saw the launch of London’s A Christmas Carol, and got us all thinking about London’s history. Thanks to everyone who commented.
This week is London Fashion Week and the capital is being taken over by all things fashionista.
While the main hub of LFW is Somerset House, there are hundreds of events taking place across the city. From art on the Underground to catwalk shows in the Charing Cross hotel; from new waxworks at Madame Tussauds to Kylie’s hotpants designer, William Baker, at Westfield London.
London’s fashion and shopping scenes are really exciting: constantly evolving and changing; among the best in the world.
So as London shows off the best of its fashion designers, models, producers, photographers and parties(!), we want you to tell us what you love about shopping in London.
Is it the great independent boutiques around Carnaby and Seven Dials? The historic shopping area of Covent Garden? The amazing, modern Westfield London shopping centre? The shoppers’ adrenaline rush you get stepping out of Oxford Circus Tube and onto the world’s most famous shopping street? Or do you have a favourite shopping hidden gem that you want to share with the world during this London Fashion Week?
Let us know.

As London Fashion Week rolls into town (cue Balmania on the streets!), The Met Bar has created an afternoon tea in honour of iconic handbag designer Lulu Guinness.
The lip-licious version of our Afternoon De-Light menu is inspired by Lulu’s famous lip clutches, Pollyanna pochettes and Lulu Cameo heads. The low-calorie treats are all in vivid paint-box pinks and this season’s must-have purples reflecting her Spring Summer 2010 collection.
Since the Lulu Tea debuted on Monday, the Met Bar has been flooded with fashionistas including London’s top Fashion Bloggers and fashion press (Vogue, Grazia and Harpers Bazaar to name a few). And the Lulu Tea is already fully booked this weekend.
Lulu Guinness will take up residence in the Deluxe Park Suite during London Fashion Week here at the Metropolitan to showcase her Spring Summer 2010 Collection (by appointment-only) alongside Matthew Williamson and some of London’s emerging new talent.
Much as we could gush about the Lulu Tea all day, our wardrobe awaits for a weekend of LFW madness including visits to Vivienne Westwood, Issa, Fashion East, Osman Yousefzada, Mulberry, Luella, and most importantly our very own Lulu Guinness Preview Party!
The Lulu Tea will be available every day from 3pm-6pm in the Met Bar until Saturday 26 September – advance bookings required.
Join in the buzz of London Fashion Week as Covent Garden hosts its first-ever Fashion Fête tomorrow.
You can try your hand at Hunter Welly Wanging (only the best will do!), have your picture taken in the Anna Wintour style booth, lead your dog down the designer “dogwalk” or enjoy lots of other tongue-in-cheek fashion activities with prizes up for grabs!
Ever fancied yourself as a supermodel? Now’s your chance as Models 1 will be scouting for the next Kate Moss on the Piazza. There will also be expert free fashion advice on hand to help you create your perfect wardrobe.
The free event runs between 11am and 6pm on the East Piazza.
You can also get the London Fashion Week look for less with great discounts from stores such as Karen Millen, French Connection, Fullcircle and others from 17 to 22 September.
