Diesel – House of Fraser

House of Fraser is a really good place for buying gifts and little treats for yourself. I like how the shop’s organised, giving you a warm feel to it. I particularly like the beauty sections and the fragrances they have. It’s definitely pricey but you’ve gotta spend money now and then.

I have to admit that this is the only House of Fraser store I like shopping in. Why? Because the staff are better and more attentive than most West End doors. the stock is displayed without clutter and there is a fantastic array of fashion you just cant find anywhere else other than the huge and slightly scarey stores such as Selfridges and Harrods which are just too overwhelming for short trips. I love the basement choc full of young fashion but i also enjoy the beauty hall as there is a sense of no rushing and time on your hands. today i managed to get my eybrows threaded for£17,purchased some new shades of nail lacquer from Chanel and found the perfect suit for a certain guitarist to wear on stage in the sale.

a decent store, but i think the stock is quite limited, id rather walk into the individual stores of the companies that have the concessions!

And, not to forget the excellent little restaurant on the 5^th floor ‘Café Zest’ — full service at the table, comfy tub chairs if you are quick enough to hover around likely leavers, laying claim before the two old dears with the steely eyes can park their posteriors.
Very good quality snacks and food at reasonable prices — and alcohol served if the fancy (or need) takes you.
Definitely recommended for a safe, easy, pleasant and good value stop off, if caught up in the madness of Oxford Street.

This massive House of Fraser store is an excellent choice for some retail therapy on Oxford street. With a wide variety of goods, you are sure to find something that interests you. I have found that the range available here is better than in other stores. Be sure to visit in the sales, when you can often pick up bargains! Having a Frasercard can be helpful as well, often you are invited to preview sales which gives you an opportunity to buy merchandise before the rest of the public can get their hands on it!

House of Fraser along with Selfridges, John Lewis and Debenhams is one of the leading department stores. Their store in Oxford Street is huge, and my favourite area is the basement where you can find the young trend area for women, including my favourite brand– therapy. Many products here are from high street stores and are very reasonably prices whereas the higher you travel up the store the more expensive it gets. The store is extremely large and is very spacious, so although it is very busy I have never felt cramped. Although some of the items on the high floors can be obscenely expensive it is always nice to shop up here and sometimes for get an idea of what to look out for on the high street. One of the more expensive department stores on the high street but still definitely worth a visit!

The Oxford Street House of Fraser store is their flagship store, and as such offers biggest selection of items and brands in the most stylish environment. I’m under impression the store has been renovated recently. It certainly feels more polished inside than it was a few years ago. I can’t say this is my favourite department store in London, as it doesn’t have the range of John Lewis nor the style and luxury of say, Selfridges. However, I’m always pleasantly surprised by the brands stocked in this store, especially when it comes to womenswear, shoes and accessories. Another appealing fact is that it never seems as crowded and mobbed by the shoppers as the nearby Debenhams and John Lewis department stores, so if you’re looking for a less hectic shopping experience, this might be the store for you. Overall, there doesn’t seem anything in particular standing out about this store that would make it a ‘must’. It is rather a compromise, albeit a surprisingly good one, when it comes to department store shopping.

While I do love the department stores along Oxford St, they get a little same-​y after awhile.
House of Fraser often leaves me feeling this way when I enter in to yet another white main floor of cosmetics and fragrances but I think this has some fun great concessions in the basement. I have had endless hours of pleasure just wandering around the stationary or makeup or clothing of the various little nooks and placements in the lower level.
I feel that the main store is too similar to other department stores to really set itself apart on the other floors much but the lower level is absolutely the saving grace for this department store.

The House of Fraser in Oxford Street is a supberb store which contains everything you need under one roof. If you are not choosy, you could simply buy everything you needed here without having to walk miles round shops in London. I love to go into this store around Christmas as they have wonderful decorations, and the Christmas meals they offer in the restuarant are great value (I’m not actually sure if it is still there now though.). The basement contains all high end fashion such as Warehouse, Topshop, Oasis, Levi and their own brand Therapy which is great for teenagers. They also do some amazing costume jewellery. Well worth a look if you are ever in the area.

Something of a hybrid of John Lewis and Selfridges. HOF doesn’t stock as many designer lines as Selfridges but is more stylish than John Lewis. Good for buying things for the home.
It’s Christmas bear is famous and a snip at about £10.

HOF is full of things for everyone, its especially good for buying gifts. I love the DKNY handbags section, thats the first section i go to to see the latest ones in. The ladies there are very helpful also. In the basement which is the lower floor they have Therapy clothing which is HOF’s own brand. THere are also loads of other concessions on the lower level such as FCUK, morgan, fire trap etc. You can buy some really cool, trendy clothes here.

great for designer makes and seeing what they are like! Go the sales!!! they are good!!!

I love house of fraser, its like everything you need under one roof.

Oxford Streets House of Fraser is particularly strong in it’s range of girly, feminine items. It’s own range of lingerie is gorgeous and the perfume and cosmetics department couldn’t be beaten. Always a little pricey but nice for those indulgent treats we can go for every now and again. They also do the most luxurious gift sets which are ideal for xmas for mum, sister or girlfriend.
