Stores in London

[katiawt]

Hi
I´ll be in London next week and I am planning to buy some equipment to my next camino. I live in Brasil and we don´t have good brands here.
Can someone sugest me some good stores there??
I am planning to buy a new backpack, a sleeping bag - maybe a Deuter Dream Lite 500 if I can find it - and clothes.
Thanks for your help

Blacks, Snow and Rock & Ellis Brigham all have stores in and around central london. Check their websites for nearest store location to where you are staying.

There may also be some independents but I'm not London resident so can't recommend any but i'm sure someone else will be able to.

Buen Camino

Fieldandtrek.com are pretty good, too - they have a store at 42, Maiden Lane, Covent Garden.

In my view, you should start at Cotswold Outdoor on Piccadilly (North side, close to Tube) - there's lots of very good stuff and very few poor choices; after that, if needed, it's just a few minutes walk to Covent Garden where all the other outdoor stores have branches - Patagonia, Snow & Rock, North Face, Ellis Brigham, Field & Trek, Katmandu

in a previous post feild and trek was mentioned this should be your first stop.They are part os a massive discount chain and can save you up to 50 % on many items...from travel towels to boots. I mention this because within 30 meters there is a north face shop...cotswold outdoors and mountain warehouse.cotswold do a full range of sleeping bag liners.Just up the road five minutes on charing cross road the TX max is doing tral socks for £3.00 apair.Just a few minutes from TK max on oxford street is sports direct....for your rucksack...approx £25.oo...for a karrimor 35l
