Things to do in London, England: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

October 28, 2021 Jacquiline Darosa

The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Bonham's

Fine Art Auctioneers handling more than 70 categories of specialist auctions.

Reviewed By 227ianc - London, United Kingdom

Bonham's has two locations - its smaller and more specialist one in Knightsbridge and its HQ in Bond Street, with contemporary interiors created inside the old historic facades, which holds a variety of different auctions from classic cars to contemporary art, so it is always worth keeping an eye open to see what is on. In March, before the doors closed due to the current health crisis, with most immediate sales postponed, there were two major auctions, one of modern and contemporary art with a wide range of work including Wilfredo Lam from Cuba, and another of modern and contemporary African work, at quite affordable prices if you were thinking of starting to build a collection and showing the versatility of African artists as they span traditional, modern and contemporary themes. Several of the artworks were being auctioned to benefit two charities, and the whole exhibition provided a fascinating overview of recent African art, relatively unknown to London audiences.

Uplifting and Great Experience My daughter took me into the Knightsbridge store for better fitting bras. We didn’t have an appointment, but, was scheduled to return in 30 minutes. Michelle was the Assistant who helped me, and in no time today I had 4 bras that fit perfectly, with matching panties. What was perfect about the bras is that for the first time since my single mastectomy & reconstructive surgery for breast cancer in 2003, I have bras that fit! The bras are extremely comfortable, and for once can wear clothing and look”even”. Thank you Michelle!
