Albam
111A Commercial Street E1 6BG
Men's Clothes
Opening Times
Albam is an independent menswear brand built on quality and considered design. Somehow every one of its London stores has its own individuality while at the same time featuring the same product range. Think Egyptian cotton t-shirts that last, waxed canvas jackets and functional style.
This isn’t your average market, but then the location on a Mayfair back street kind of hints at that. Dover Street Market is Rei Kawakubo of Commes Des Garcon’s brainchild. A place where super desirable brands come together to make men cry at the beauty of the clothes – and then cry some more at the price tags. Even if you don’t have the money it is worth visiting to bask in the fashion.
Ymc
11 Poland Street W1F 8QA
Mixed Clothes
Opening Times
YMC has two stores in London. One is located on Poland Street in Soho and the other takes up a space on Hanbury Street, Spitalfields. Marrying heritage style and military function YMC has a range that any man could comfortably wear daily. Understated yet high quality garments.
Topman
222 Oxford Street W1C 1DD
Men's Clothes
Opening Times
If it’s multiple price points you want then look no further than Topman. The store is the culmination of the behind the scenes trend forecasters and you’ll find anything from chunky knitwear to Hawaiian shirts – as well as a good line in slim fitting suits for the slim of leg.
Drakes
9 Saville Row W1S 3PF
Men's Clothes
Opening Times
A bonafide Saville Row outfitter. Drake's will do nicely.
The Hideout
7 Upper James Street W1F 9DH
Men's Clothes
Opening Times
Streetwear is the name of the Hideout’s game. Brands like Stussy, Neighbourhood, Norse Projects and Visvim hang from the rails. This shop has history and remains one of London’s most treasured style haunts for men who know.
This is classic tailoring mixed with casual outerwear; browse an in-house label; US, Japanese and European imports... it's all at Trunk Clothiers.
Present isn’t just a shop it’s a full on lifestyle! Prufrock coffee served from a kiosk at the front, books and style magazines on the shelves and a mixture of heritage and high-end fashion. For Oxford shirts, Redwing boots, vintage Levis and exclusive skatewear – try Present first.
Liberty & Co
