Large department store on Oxford Street. Sells furniture, homewares, electrical goods, cookware, etc.
The haberdashery section offers a selection of yarn including Rowan, Debbie Bliss, and Noro. They sell some beads and things as well, plus costume-making stuff such as feathers. They also sell sewing machines. There are two fabric departments; fashion fabrics (i.e. clothes) and home furnishing fabrics. The fabrics aren't cheap, but they're good quality and the range is wide.
Some people have suggested that the yarn section is rather hard to find since the latest reorganisation, and that the yarn selection is small and expensive, and the service can be "snotty". The general feeling seems to be that the haberdashery department is "not what it once was".
They have another branch in Brent Cross, and Peter Jones in Sloane Square is also the same company.
