Large, lovely department store on Great Marlborough Street, just down from Oxford Circus. (Frontage used to be on Regent Street, but is now closed — is this permanent or just for refurbishment?) Sells Rowan yarns and a selection of fabrics, along with loads of other homewares. They specialise in liberty print cotton. Their lace and braid section is well worth a look. Also do stranded cotton and many tapestry kits.
The Rowanettes knitting group meets here.
As with John Lewis, some people think Liberty is not what it once was.
