Dover Street Market

This five-floor Mayfair townhouse was conceived by Comme des Garçons Rei Kawakubo as a platform to showcase her work alongside that of other risk-taking designers. It's one of the weirdest, coolest stores we've ever been to and has the feel of an established retailer and hipster clubhouse rolled into one. As you go from one floor to the next, you'll come across intentionally raw plywood-and-corrugated-metal fixtures, entertaining art installations, April77 jeans, Pierre Hardy bags, and an eccentrically dressed sales staff (it's the best people-watching in the city).

This enduringly great spot is in a dead heat with Selfridges for the honor of being Lucky's favorite London department store.

Selfridges

We could go on for hours about how much we love this department store. It gobbles up one big block of prime West End real estate, and you'll want to investigate every square inch: There are mini shops for nearly every English chain; a stunning accessories department (including bags made exclusively for Selfridges by Marc Jacobs and YSL); the largest Vanessa Bruno in-store boutique in Europe; and a basement-level lifestyle area rife with Missoni linens and Penhaligon's soaps. Plus: Selfridges often beats London's hippest shops when it comes to stocking emerging names.
