London's best shops revealed

Shopaholics with a Time Out magazine subscription may be interested in checking out the publication's list of top shops in London.

As part of Time Out magazine's guide to 500 of the capital's must-see retailers, the mag will be looking to find the best shopping experience in the city.

The countdown is being judged by Mary Portas, designer Henry Holland, editor-in-chief of Love magazine Katie Grand and Time Out's shopping and style editor Dan Jones, among others.

In 50th place is the Algerian Coffee Stores in Old Compton Street, which is closest to Leicester Square or Piccadilly Circus tube stations.

The store has been trading from the site for 120 years now and still houses the original wooden counter and display cases, along with an impressive array of coffee varieties.

Fashion store Goodhood comes in 10th place. The Hoxton backstreet boutique houses the best streetwear-edged concept clothing, according to Time Out magazine.

Top of the London shops is the elegantly classic Liberty department store.

The mock-Tudor exterior shows off the tradition side to it, while it still attracts exciting new collections and amazing exclusives.

Time Out magazine has an exclusive look at this weekend's Thames Festival in the capital too, which is taking place between Westminster Bridge and Tower Bridge.
