We Love: Glassworks Studio
One of The Audit's favourite virtual-shopping sites has sprung to life with a pop-up shop hosting a brilliant edit of sought-after brands.
Until 11 February, 9 Mercer Street, St Martin's Courtyard.
We're not sure about: QR codes

LouLou by Hudson jeans, £250, selfridges.com
