Best London areas for baby shopping?

Hello! Not sure if I've put this in the right thread but wondering if anyone can advise on some good areas in London with multiple shops for babies. I'm visiting for the day from remote Scotland so thought I'd try out a few places.

I'm mostly looking for prams to test, cot beds etc. Our John Lewis doesn't seem to have much in stock

Thanks!

Sorry I should probably say I used to live in London so am familiar-ish with it. But don't know whether to focus on ie Kings Road, Westbourne Grove, Northcote Road, Westhill shopping center etc! Would prefer somewhere central in Chelsea area ??

I’m interested too in knowing.
I’ve done lots of searches and I can’t find much more than Mamas and Papas or John Lewis.
There is a store in Twickenham called Bella Baby, but that’s appointment only I think.

Online is better imo

Or just go to big John Lewis in Oxford street

If you want Chelsea why don't you start in Sloane Sq at Peter Jones and move down Kings Road, there's lots of places down there.

It's really hard to get everything in the one place and you don't feel like going to multiple locations when heavily pregnant. Too exhausting!

Peter Jones on Sloane sq is really good. We had a personal shopping appointment booked where they took you through all the big ticket items and smaller ones too so you can compile a list for you or send to family and friends as a gift registry. They were really knowledgeable. Not sure if this is available now but we did have to book in advance.

Then there's not much else on the kings road apart from clothing store for kids, like trotters, boden, zara, gap. I'm probably forgetting something tho...

I did go to Westfield white city and there is a mamas and papas there but the John Lewis is tiny there. Very limited selection compared to Sloane sq.

It's hard as you see the item before you buy but online is definitely best for pricing.
