HOLBORN. If you're in London, chances are you'll need an umbrella. Why not buy the best from this famous shop that has been selling umbrellas since 1830 and remains a family business? Though the store looks traditional, thanks to a Victorian storefront, the owners take pride in their umbrellas, using the latest frame technology and water-repelling fabrics. They also offer a wide variety of formal and casual styles, umbrella repairs, and an assortment of finely carved canes and walking sticks. A legendary store with unique ambience and high-quality products. TUBE: Tottenham Court Road
