Outdoor/hunting shops around London area

[wolfHFAC]

I will be visiting London (and the surrounding suburbs) as well as Paris in a few months.

Does anyone know of a good shop that sells Barbour clothing in London or the surrounding area? I'm looking to pick up another wax jacket and a couple of other Barbour items. It seems prices are much cheaper than buying it in the US...

There is a Barbour shop in Sydney Street, Chelsea. Alternatively you can check out The Highlands Store on Regent St which stocks Barbour.

My father and I have both purchased from Scotia. They're in the harbor area across from the Tower of London. http://www.scotia.uk.com/ Have had good luck. They'll ship to the states relatively inexpensively, too. Make sure you get your VAT back at the airport.

If you are anywhere near Piccadilly there are Barbour stores on Regent Street and one a couple of doors down from Fortnum & Masons, additionally you've got Cordings across the Road. If you want to up the budget you should pop into William Evans on Saint James's Street.

All are >5 mins walk from each other.

Of course, there's Holland and Holland on Bruton Street.
Very high-end. About 10 years ago they adopted a more
"fashion" Country look. I have a sweater from them from
before this change. It is understated, unique, and extremely well-made.

And just round the corner on Pall Mall is Farlow's, specialising in hunting shooting and fishing clothes.

William Evans definitely worth a glance - a gunshop (indeed, a gunmaker's shop), but they do some proper shooting clothes upstairs.

There's a Beretta shop (selling traditional clothes and for all I know shotguns too, but probably not mediocre 9mm pistols in today's Britain) at the Jermyn St/St James St junction.
