Located just off Regent Street in Mayfair, Conduit Street is a shopper’s paradise, with numerous designer stores dotted along the thoroughfare. However, the street remains unvisited to many who come to London, as it’s not so well-known compared to some of the ‘big’ names such as Oxford Street and Covent Garden. This is a great pity, as shoppers who venture off the beaten track onto Conduit Street are in for some retail delights! Take a look at some of the lovely shops which you can find:
