They all merge into the sameness these day. I don't go shopping very often for clothes, but recently M&S have supplied me with some lovely fitting cords and Next some really nice work shirts. Boring I know. 
There used to be a fab shop in Canterbury which sold great Paul Smith stuff, but that was about 15 years ago, has since gone, and I don't really give a shit about clothes like I used to any more.

With you on Waitrose, but Gap is one place I just couldn't walk into ever. Dunno why, just couldn't.
Edited to add:
I do like the Porsche dealership in Harston, Cambridgeshire, 2 minutes from work, and a must visit if the lottery numbers come up. Conveniently next door to the Aston Martin dealership, if my mood changes to summat British.
Nuffin to do with clothes, but if you're talking 'shops' as a place to buy things...

Bond on Carnaby Street used to be my favourite shop. Now gone, with only an online presence. Not the same is it.
Any recommend a good replacement?
Also a
shop though - another of my favourites, more of a high end Bond. They've been on Whitecross Street for years but are still going. Yay! for independent retailers.

Not the John Lewis in Oxford Street surely? I always find their haberdashery/fabric section distinctly underwhelming. The new-ish restaurant on the top floor is aces though!

Thats why I never bother going to them . There was a polace in Camden market which always had a good selection of leather jackets but now they are doing it all up I can't find where they have moved it to

yep me too and good old joy as well
keeping it real and all that
I used to LOVE Joy, back when it only the Brixton store and maybe 2 others in London.
Now they're everywhere and all the clothes are the same
No more one off's from small designers, no more of those amazing dresses with the corset top and fishtail skirt.

I often find myself in there wandering aimlessly for 5 minutes before wondering 'why, I don't need anything...'
Me too!

Primark for definite.
That one in Marble Arch...oh god!
You have to be joking? It's cheap and there's the occasional good thing hidden among all the tat, but that place is hell on earth.

I used to think it was just me that felt nauseous in department stores. I'd always assumed it was down to some traumatic childhood experience where I'd been forcibly dragged around countless department stores by a shopaholic mother. I still find department stores traumatic - all of them.
oh yesI was just about to post exactly that. Especially the kitchen department, which is aces.
it ticks many boxes for me
benefit counter and other nice make up
evans for finding wide fitting boots
the coffee shop

couldn't agree more. 20minute queues for the tills, and people walking across clothes/shoes that have fallen on the floor! horrendous!
i pretty much dislike all shops, but am fond of coffee shops

I like Selfridges in Birmingham, even if I can't afford much in there. I like to go there and put expensive perfume on and then dab nice make up on, look at the food department, etc.

Kings road is allright but since I work there I try to avoid going there any more than necessary !

Like a boss.
Waitrose, Urban Outfitters, Lidl and TK Maxx. And the Portuguese Deli on Atlantic Road in Brixton.

Thinks she is a flower to be looked at
book mongers and brixton whole foods are also good shops.
agree on urban outfitters and the deli
