If your shopping right in the final stretch this year remember that most stores listed below will only be open until 4:00pm, however if you really are stuck for time there are a few places which do go on until 8:00pm on Christmas eve such as Fortnum & Masons and the Camden markets.
When shopping for a family, general department stores tend to help for the simple fact that they have everything under one roof!

Shopping for the Family
When shopping for a family, general department stores tend to help for the simple fact that they have everything under one roof! But it would seem that as that bright light which once shone fromHarrods as it reaches its twighlight years begins to dwindle we are beginning to once again loose interest in the department store.
Selfridges however is becoming stronger by the day, stocking everything from escargot to Chicago on DVD and one of the hottest fashion collections in the West End featuring brand favourites such as Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Ted Baker and Armani. Its Oxford Streetstore is a must visit if you are shopping for a family and need to get it all done in one place.
The added bonuses of the store are its 101 handbags display on the ground floor and a Helter Skelter where guests (adults and children alike) can slide for Charity just to help them relax on what could be a long day of shopping. A slide is free and by donation only, all proceeds go to the teenage cancer fund.
Whilst still in the West End one store which you will be required to visit this year is Hamley’s. With a long tradition of making the finest, biggest and best toys Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without Hamley’s.
As you enter the store it will feel almost as though you have been transported to the centre of Santa’s workshop in the north pole as you find yourself promptly surrounded by a world of playful delights from the old hand carved toy soldier to the more recent action man toys. With seven floors and a visiting Santa, Elves and an Ali G impersonator around, Hamley’s Toy store is great Christmas shopping for all the family.
London has a great choice of Gadget shops the most interesting of which can be found at theCamden Market with hundreds of spy toys and innovative electronics anyone of the useless inventions makes the perfect boys toy to keep him occupied for another year.
Also great for shopping for the guys this year has to be FCUK and Oxford Street newcomerMexx that offers a stylish and affordable selection that stands out as what will be this winter’s most definitive collection.
