If your wardrobe leans toward the effortlessly cool, & Other Stories is your go-to for sculptural blouses and minimalist jewellery. It’s a Swedish dream that somehow makes even a plain white tee feel editorial. For high-street staples with a twist, Zara and H&M are reliably packed with trending pieces—though a pro-tip: visit on a Tuesday morning when the stock is fresh and the crowds are thin.
Prefer something a little more timeless? Reiss and Whistles are tucked in near the central atrium, serving up tailoring that looks expensive without the jaw-dropping price tag. And for the lads? Superdry and River Island cover everything from streetwear to smart-casual. Fun fact: Brent Cross was one of the first UK malls to introduce a dedicated menswear floor back in the 1990s—a trend that’s now standard everywhere.

Need a quick reboot? Hit Boots for a three-for-two on your favourite serums, or Space NK for cult-favourite brands like Byredo and Drunk Elephant. The staff at Space NK are famously generous with samples—just flash a curious smile and you might leave with a mini-sized miracle cream.
For a deeper reset, The Body Shop offers a sensory escape with its shea butter scrubs and peppermint foot lotion. And if you’re feeling fancy, Molton Brown is perfect for gifting (or self-gifting) those hotel-grade bath salts. A little-known gem: the centre’s dry cleaner and key-cutting kiosk near the food court—ideal for fixing that broken zipper or making a spare for your forgetful flatmate.
