If you think shopping in South England is restricted to Regent Street and Carnaby Street, think again. In addition to traditional shopping centres and discount designer outlets, South East England has a collection of unique places to shop outside London that can't be found anywhere else.
Explore the narrow alleys of the 17th century Lanes, a maze of smart shops selling antiques, jewellery and designer clothes.
