An elegant way to cap your shopping stroll (we'll finish just a block from here) is with
a traditional
afternoon tea.
While pricey, many consider this ritual an essential part of any
London visit. My two favorite places in town for a traditional afternoon tea are within a
block of here: Fortnum & Mason (with several restaurants and price ranges), and a block
farther down Piccadilly Street,
The Wolseley,
the grand 1920s former showroom of a now
defunct car manufacturer (where couples are allowed to split a
£
22.50 tea in sumptuous
surroundings; on the left at #160); for details on F&M and The Wolseley, see “Taking Tea
• But before we part ways, we'll stroll a block south of big and busy Piccadilly Street. Op-
posite the Burlington Arcade, the Piccadilly Arcade leads to quiet...
Jermyn Street
A statue of
Beau Brummell,
the ultimate dandy, meets you as if to say, “Within a block
in either direction are numerous fine gentlemen's shirtmakers and many other delightful
small shops.”
Stand by the statue and survey your menswear shopping options (all to the right):
Bates Hats
(#73) still sells bowlers and top hats, as it has for a century.
