Fodor's Expert Review Thomas Goode

Before moving to Burlington Arcade, luxury housewares shop Thomas Goode had been at the same smart Mayfair address for over 150 years, but the classic style continues to sell at the new location. The china, silver, crystal, and linen, whether from the store's own line or from luxury brands like Christofle and Puiforcat, are simply the best that money can buy, a legacy of its original customer base of international royals and heads of state. The store still holds two royal warrants, but anyone who can afford it can commission their own bespoke set of china. If such luxury is beyond you, visit anyway for the shop's small museum of plates, either antique or designed for royalty, including some created for Princess Diana's wedding.
