Oxford Street’s cathedral to hyper-indulgence gets it right on so many levels. A multistorey, multisensorial experience of fashion, food, furniture, tech, luggage, beauty and jewellery Selfridges intoxicates and overwhelms on every floor. Recently awarded Best Department Store (at the World 2018 at the Global Department Store Summit) the super shop also hosts art events at its Duke Street Art Block property. Currently on show (until October) is Holly Hendry’s new sculpture, Phyllis, which tells the story of a Crossrail digging machine.
