From the street, the Conran store doesn’t appear to be much, but customers walk in to find three stories of exquisite European items. Walking through the Conran Store, which can best be described as a non-traditional home goods store, we were intrigued by the variety of beautiful things the store had to offer. With items ranging from living room furniture and kitchen appliances to electronics and a bakery, the Conran is a vibrant British store that is centered around upscale, contemporary design. It is not necessarily a place that a university student could afford, however, just walking around the store is a fun shopping experience.

If you are looking to spend time in Marylebone and kill a few hours roaming around, there are several quaint and unique stores along this street to pop in to. Diptque is an apothecary that specializes in home and personal fragrences ranging from floral and tart to masculine and woody. A few stores down in Daunt Books, a beautiful bookstore that is particularly special because it categorizes its books by their country of origin.
