Hello-- one of my Guild friends will be in London for three weeks and
would like to visit some fabric stores while she is there. The info
I've seen posted on this topic is several years old. Can someone
point me to a listing of apparel and upholstery fabric sources in
London?

Thanks in advance
Kristi

Hi Kristi

I don't know of a listing. Searching by International Directory Enquiries
hasn't turned up much for me, either, even for shops that I know are thre.
However, from memory:

For apparel fabrics, try:
Broadwick Silks - Broadwick Street
Soho Silks - D'Arblay Street
Borowick's Fabrics - Berwick Street
The Cloth Shop - Berwick Street

(all these shops are a few yards from each other in and off Berwick Street,
London W1). It's best to walk down Berwick Street from the Oxford Street
end.

For upholstery fabrics, I guess Liberty is still worth a look, as might be
John Lewis department store in Oxford Street - John Lewis also sells dress
fabrics.
