Just a stone's throw away from the madness of Oxford Street, Marylebone is a high-end retail haven. With its unique and unspoilt shops it has become home for some of London's most well-heeled residents, attracted by the intimate shopping atmosphere and its proximity to the city centre. In this episode, we visit some of the most exclusive specialist retailers in the capital - including the outlet where designer Paul Smith shops for all the trimmings plus an innovative bookshop that is changing the face of literary London one page at a time.
