Liberty London

Once the world's most exclusive department stores.      

Now full of overpriced brands ready to gouge your wallet.  Food hall is good but pricey.  It sits on the Brompton Road which is always rammed full of lost tourists.   They look around aimlessly wondering where their sterling has evaporated.   An excellent place to pick up a pick pocketer.
