Liberty's
Regent Street, London W1

Arthur Lasenby Liberty opened his first store in Regent Street in 1875.  Among the first  customers for his beautiful oriental silks were Dante Gabriel Rossetti, James Whistler and John Ruskin. 

Liberty prints and designs, created by artists such as William Morris, were a great influence on the Arts and Crafts Movement of the late-19th and early-20th centuries. 

The present building, with its distinctive mock-Tudor façade on Great Marlborough Street, dates from 1925 and was specifically built to house the store. 

Liberty designs remain very popular to this day and the store still sells its wonderful fabrics. 

The top floor is crammed with period Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts furniture. 

Liberty has continued its strong links with East and the basement houses an Oriental Bazaar.  However, Liberty has not remained in the past and it's women's clothing department is at the cutting edge of modern fashion.
