London does the landmark end — Harrods, Liberty, Selfridges, Bond Street, and the markets at Portobello, Spitalfields and Camden. Glasgow is the best shopping city in Britain outside it. And then there's the stuff you can only buy where it's made: Harris Tweed in the Outer Hebrides, Welsh wool blankets, Stoke pottery, Sheffield steel and a secondhand bookshop in every other town.
