The Vibe:Mock-Tudor heritage shopping with iconic florals.
Liberty opened on Regent Street in 1875 as a trader in fabrics and decorative arts from Asia. Its current mock-Tudor building — built in 1924 from the timbers of two Royal Navy ships — houses six floors of fashion, beauty, fabric, and homeware around a central atrium.
Dark oak panelling warms the atrium; natural light falls through stained glass above. The famous floral fabric department hums with customers leafing through ream after ream; fragrance drifts from the beauty hall on the ground floor.
