London Retail Design

"It's been awesome. There was so much great stuff packed together - what you showed us in three hours would've taken me six months alone."
- Michael Moore, Interior Architecture and Design Student, Teesside


Give us three hours – and we'll give you infinite inspiration! From the most futuristic forms to bizarre, bohemian taxidermy, see some of the most exciting interior design in the world. We’ll tell you the stories behind an eclectic mix of London’s most impressive shops and restaurants.

Highlights include:

  • A futuristic ‘floating’ staircase that weighs 5 tonnes
  • Robotic animals in an indoor rainforest
  • A chance to sample London’s glamorous egg toilets
  • A shimmering cave made from real gold

Starting in the bars and cafes of Piccadilly, the walking tour moves through the hippest Soho boutiques before winding up in the designer stores and restaurants of Mayfair. All in all, the tour takes in 15 sites and lasts three hours, including a coffee break at one of the most exciting sites.


"We came to find inspiration for our new major project. We needed to see the best of what's happening in the world, but we had no time to go on a world tour. London's a global city - you've showed us the best of what's happening worldwide in a few hours. It's been great."
- David Hagelin, Creative Director, Sweden
