Add a review about the Debenhams department store in London

Debenhams is another practical mid-price London department store and John Lewis's main competitor in this respect. Competition is only good for them, and the buyer benefits from this: there is a choice.

"Debenhams" started with a small drapery store opened in 1778, this business for more than 200 years. In 1813 the name Debenham (in connection with the entry into the business of a partner with that name) appeared in the name, and a store in Oxford Street was opened a century later, which we will talk about, although it is now a huge international concern, whose stores are in 26 countries. The board of the concern, by the way, is still headed by a member of the Debenham family

This department store is famous for being the first in Britain to begin attracting truly serious designers to create models under its own brand - Debenhams.

Sell here as models of mark "Debenhams" (very good), and the goods of manufacture of other designers realized under the name of the manufacturer. Manufacturers - or good model houses are more expensive like Ralph Lauren or Lacoste, or high-quality, but quite democratic brands - such as Diesel, Ecco or Esprit. There are almost no expensive brands, but very cheap too.

There are all possible variants of men's, women's, teenage and children's clothes (sports, everyday, top, work and school, fashionable and conservative, for special moments and any other) a lot of shoes, linens and accessories.

The department of wedding dresses is very famous.

The choice is very big, the store is suitable for everyone. Also there are large departments with household utensils (good), with household appliances, computers, cameras, telephones, cosmetics, etc.
