Victoria’s Secret, known for its high-profile catwalk shows and “Angels” supermodels made it’s way to the UK in 2012 and now has four branches in London. Three of these stores are located within shopping centres and there’s also a large and impressive standalone flagship on New Bond Street.
As well as their extensive range of lingerie, Victoria’s Secret also has their own popular perfume and beauty line. The sub-brand PINK is aimed at younger girls and also carries a range of lounge and sports clothing and casual accessories.
1. New Bond Street
The Victoria’s Secret flagship store on New Bond Street in 2012 and has been delighting British women ever since with its extensive selection of lingerie, nightwear, loungewear, fragrances and beauty products, accessories, and the PINK sub-brand spread over four floors and 40,000 sq ft of retail space.
Even if you’re not intending on expanding your lingerie collection, the shop itself is impressive enough worth a look if you’re in the area. The style is somewhere between French boudoir and LA night club with black walls, oversized chandeliers, a spiral staircase with mirrored glass rails and Victoria’s Secret Angels peering down from a giant video wall.
The staff at this branch get full marks for helpfulness and friendliness and you can get a quick ‘on the floor’ bra fitting service from any of the retail assistants, or go into the changing rooms for a more thorough fitting with a bra expert.
The store is a 4-minute walk from both Bond Street and Oxford Circus tube stations.
