London Fashion and St. Paul’s Cathedral

May 12 2022

For me London and, in general, the continent of Europe has always been known for its sense of fashion and the importance of public appearances for the citizens of all these countries. Today, I visited a shopping center called “One New Change,” which is located on the Bread Street side of town near St. Paul’s Cathedral.

This shopping center provides various options for cuisine and fashion. Some of the stores there are H&M, Hackett London, REISS, and Oliver Bonas. In all of the stores that I visited I felt welcomed and was provided with great customer service with suggestions from the retail workers as to what I was looking for and helping me find the clothing items that I was looking for.

I was surprised with their limited denim jean supply in the stores, regarding the fitting and color selection available at the store. I did not ask if they had more various sizes or colors because I assumed what they had on display is what they have available, but it is always good to ask what they may have available.

There were various food options available as well, and they were scattered all over the first and second floors. Some of the available food options were Nando’s, Krispy Kreme, Street Burger, and Zizzi Individually Italian. They all sounded very tasty, but I did not have time to grab a bite. Therefore, my curiosity remains vigilant for my next adventure to the One New Change shopping center.

Around the shopping center, the St. Paul’s Cathedral is right near which is a tourist attraction site that makes for great outdoor pictures, but there is a fee to get inside the cathedral for tourism. However, if you go in for prayer it is free. One more final note there are various bus stops and tube underground station access to be able to get back to your hotel room in a reasonable amount of time.
