By Madhukar Shah

London is truly a shopper's paradise with so much to offer on every street and corner. Whether you are bargain-hunting on the streets or out to splurge on famous global brands at luxurious department stores, there are over 40,000 shops to choose from! Depending on the budget, one can shop all over London and get the best deals. Some of the best neighborhoods shopping in London include Oxford Street, Camden Street, Bond Street, Covent Gardens, Bond Street, Kensington High Street, Liverpool Street and Portobello Road.

Knightsbridge has those famous five star department stores, Harrods and Harvey Nichols, that stock designer wear from all over the world. You can shop to your heart's content here but do make sure that your purse is well loaded. Selfridges is located on London's busiest Oxford Street along with several other department stores that store excellent quality branded and non-branded ware. Regent Street, Old and New Bond Streets and Sloane Streets are home to boutiques and designer stores. The best bargain shopping is to be done at five H&M stores located close to Oxford Street.

For the best tailored suits and gowns in true British style, Savile Row, Jermyn Street and Piccadilly are the best places.

London is a Mecca for jewelery shoppers. For casual and classy costume jewelery to exquisite and branded gold, gemstones and diamond jewelery Hatton Garden, New Bond Street, Mayfair and Regent Street are the places to scout.

If one is searching for designer handbags, Clerkenwell, Marylebone High Street, Burlington Arcade, New Bond Street and Kilburn High Road are where one will find the best choices and deals.

Interesting souvenir and gift items are available at Elvisly Yours, obviously for Elvis Presley items. The Sherlock Holmes Museum stocks knickknacks about the fictional detective. Anything Left handed is a unique shop that stocks wares for left handed people; even the staff is left handed. The pedestrian-only spot Carnaby Street is the place for you to shop for antique wear and casual wear like denims.

The city is divided into North, South, East, West and Central London, with each area having thousands of shops. Besides the hi-class stores, London has several market places spread all over. The Camden market in North London and the Portobello Road market in West London are the biggest market in the city. With over one and a half thousand stalls and several arcades, the Portobello Road market claims to be the biggest market in the world!
