I have asked 5 people this question as shopping may be important to us because it gives us a means of escaping whatever stress we carry with us, or it can even be for enjoyment to make ourselves happy. It’s the best form of putting ourselves first and the best way to cheer ourselves up!

- Pierre Rolle
Dominican/British, 22, sagittarius : I like Soho, especially brands like ‘Stussy’, ‘Goodhood‘. I like Soho because it has a good variety of shops and different things. Also, Soho neighbourhood offers a fun shopping experience in a lively area that offers plenty of style.

2. Raniya Palymbetova
Kazakh, 19, sagittarius : I prefer to go shop to Selfridges, as there are many cool brands, also the location is nice and everything is easy to find, unlike Harrods for example. It is a shopping mall where you can find anything.

3. Neelam Tabassum
Pakistani, 20, Cancer : It is probably Oxford Street. I like that there are many restraunts near, easy to find anything you want, and many more new shops are developing. My favorite brand is ‘weekday new’, the clothes are very high quality, however pricey.

4. Zara Kulbayeva
Russian/Kazakh, 19, Taurus : One of my favourite ares of London to shop in is Covent Garden. The reason I enjoy shopping there is because of its bustling, busy and lively atmosphere. Covent Garden is a mixture of modern and fashion – forward brands, different conceptual stores and classical architecture, which makes it a place for everyone. I like it because you can find designers from all over the world selling in Covent Garden, which really reflects the diversity of London as a city.

5. Daniya Zhulamanova
Tatar, 18, Leo: I like Harrods! Harrods classifies different styles and brands into sections which makes init super easy to find what you’re looking for. Also, it has a reward system – for every five pounds, you get one pound back.
