Fodor's Review:
With a wonderful black-and-white mock-Tudor facade, Liberty is a peacock among pigeons on humdrum Regent Street. In the 19th century, Liberty's designers, leaders in the art nouveau, Arts and Crafts, and aesthetic movements, created classic fabric and home-furnishing designs. Those Liberty prints are still world famous today. Inside, the store is a labyrinth of nooks and crannies stuffed with goodies. The carpet department is an exotic jumble of handmade Oriental and contemporary rugs, while furniture is an impressive archive spanning the mid-19th century to the present, worth a look even if you're not buying. The jewelry and accessories department contrasts the unusual and bohemian with deluxe international labels. Fashion, for men and women, focuses on quality and beautiful fabric.
