Onto Regent Street, just after the
first bus-stop, look down the first turning on the left to see the Liberty
department store with its famous mock-Tudor frontage. (The store is actually
only the same age as the other buildings on Regent Street). The fake Tudor
styling runs throughout the store, giving an old-world atmosphere. There are
creaky stairs but no escalators. Liberty became famous as a specialist retailer
of Art Nouveau fabrics. The store is decidedly up-market and it has some of the
most artistic window displays in London.
