Fashion: Full marks for Spencer
Lamb's Conduit Street in London's Bloomsbury is home to several fashion hotspots – Folk and Oliver Spencer can be found here, alongside trendy co-op the People's Supermarket and literary ladies' haven Persephone Books. The latest addition is Spencer's shoe shop: the preppy menswear brand has doubled in size over the past year and Spencer has worked with ex-Liberty buyer Simon Spiteri on his footwear venture. Brilliant, we say, for giving us another place on our bodies to wear Spencer's delicious designs. oliverspencer.co.uk
