"One of my favorite treats on a big shopping day is lunch in the fifth-floor café of Harvey Nichols—or, as we locals call it, Harvey Nicks. It's the smartest department store in London (sorry Harrods, but you've been out-chiced) and the fifth floor is a classy, airy haven where fashionistas clink glasses. It's a great way to escape thecrowds, and there are other restaurants and bars in the store, including 109 Bar + Kitchen, but the café, with its outdoor balcony and canteen feel, isjust the ticket."
