Shopping London's Luxury Quarter

Shopping London's Luxury Quarter
London Luxury Quarter is a world leading destination for luxury brand retailers, famous auction houses, galleries, restaurants and hotels.

Founded in 2010, London Luxury Quarter was created by New West End Company and Heart of London Business Alliance who between them represent over 1,200 businesses in the area. The goal of London Luxury Quarter is to cement Mayfair, St. James and the surrounding streets of London's West End as one of the world's leading destinations for luxury retailing.

Over the last 10 years the Quarter has seen a huge increase in luxury retailers and leisure outlets with an investment from businesses of almost £1.82billion and generating an estimated £3billion per year of consumer spend. This luxury retailing includes the likes of the flagship store of British brand Burberry on the famed Bond Street, department store Selfridges and the UK flagship stores of Chanel and Louis Vuitton.

Savile Row has iconic status, firstly as the home of English hand tailoring and secondly as the home of the very best English menswear including Gieves & Hawkes. For over 200 years tailors have been practicing their craft on the Row, and today it is home to more than 12 tailoring businesses and over 100 working craftsmen.

The Burlington Arcade is a truly timeless destination, an iconic runway uniting Piccadilly and Bond Street. As England's oldest and longest shopping arcade, The Burlington Arcade houses over 40 specialist shops and designers, where shoppers can discover rare examples of some of the world's finest accessories.

There are over 9,000 sqm of jewelry retailers, giving the area of the London Luxury Quarter one of the largest concentrations of jewelry in the world.

Aside from retail, London Luxury is host to some of the city's most exciting names in hospitality. A total of 14 Michelin Stars are currently awarded to London Luxury Quarter's restaurants including the two-starred restaurants Sketch by Chef Pierre Gagnaire and Helene Darroze at the Connaught, plus international stars Nobu and Hakkasan.
