Coolest clothes shops in London...

[realitychick]

according to teenagers?

Does anyone know what they are? Where would a teenage boy and girl really love to be taken on a shopping trip?

It used to be Camden Market and Carnaby Street about ten years ago but I think I'm out of date. Any suggestions on coolest brands, places, shops etc.

And would they want lunch at Hard Rock Cafe?

Thanks

Camden is still considered cool as well as the huge Top Shop at Oxford Circus. The Hard Rock Cafe sounds good as well - can I come?

Camden definatly still worth the trip - my teen (DD) also enjoyed China Town - some good 'hoodies', T's, belts and bags (I'm reliably informed!)

Ok for people watching too

Brilliant suggestions - thanks. I'd forgotten about Chinatown and there's loads of small boutique style clothes shops there too and the market.

Abercrombie?

DD1 likes the huge Topshop on Oxford Street, Urban Outfitters and Liberty (that one only for drooling though!). She would hate Hard Rock cafe and likes either Leon, Massala Zone or Hoummus Brothers for lunch followed by the cafe in the crypt or the cafe at the Wellcome Institute for tea and cake.

Kings Road for Jack Wills, Abercrombie et al. Or the big Primark, Topshop and NewLook.

Uniqlo, urban outfitters, gap for good quality basics, white stuff/fat face, Joules (for girls)

Lots of good small boutiques in Covent Garden - Long Acre, Neal Street, Floral Street etc.

Westfield is very popular with the local teenagers in West London - Hollister, Zara and lots of other brands plus Apple Store and Prada! Might be too far West for you but a manageable one stop shop experience if you have time constraints.
