London bargain shopping
 
I will be in London in February, too late for the Harrod's sale. Does anyone know of places to shop for great baragains? Also, I know this is a stupid question but are there places in London for discounts on French items because of the EU now?

Try the China Reject Shop. Can't remember the exact address but I want to say it's on Beauchamp not too far from Harrod's. They have all sorts of china and crystal "seconds" but with such minor imperfections you would probably never notice. It truly is a marvelous place to shop.

It is on Beauchamp (pronounced Beecham) and right near the corner of Knightsbridge Rd I believe:)

Thanks, Katie. It's been a while since I've been but bought some really lovely things there.

You can also find a Reject China shop in Covent Garden and on Regent Street (Piccadilly Circus tube). I love them!

You're welcome, Betty, my husband had a flat right around there corner and we were there a lot a few years ago.<BR>While on Beauchamp, go into the Map House. Great prints and lithos of everything you can imagine. We went in to browse, ended up buying a couple of lovely bird prints (Audubon style) and the prices range from affordable to extremely expensive, so there is something for everyone.

Thanks so far for your answers. I am now set for china and prints. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
