SHOPPING IN LONDON John tells us about his favourite places for shopping in London When I visit London one of my favourite things to do is shopping! I really enjoy searching for a bargain in the sales, and buying something new to wear on a Saturday night. I also like doing window-shopping. It’s nice and it doesn't cost a penny! Sometimes I spend hours just walking around a market and having a chat with my friends. There are lots of different places to go shopping in London. One of the most famous places is Oxford Street, but be careful, it gets too busy sometimes. If you want a more relaxing shopping experience, go to Covent Garden. There you can have a cappuccino, and watch some street theatre at the same time. Some people like shopping in department stores. The most famous one in London is 'Harrods' in Knightsbridge, but for me, it's not modern enough, and it’s too expensive. The best of all the big department stores is 'Selfridges' in Oxford Street. It's a shoppers' paradise, nice clothes, and the prices? Well, at least I can look, can't I? If you go to London, you can’t miss Camden street markets. It's busy, exciting, trendy, and there are lots of bargains! You can buy cheap jeans and cool second-hand clothes in the morning and then get a tattoo and a body piercing later on! And when you get tired of shopping, you can get some Chinese food for £2 or £3, sit by the canal and drink a coke. What could be better?
