Easy to get to Oxford Street for John Lewis, M&S, Selfridges, Debenhams, House of Fraser etc and Tottenham Court Road for Heals, Habitat etc. No parking (at least not easily) but you can get stuff delivered. Will make you lose the will to live, but so will shopping in Croydon, Bromley or the Purley Way :) Although IKEA and Wyevale garden centre are on the Purley Way :))
