The store began began in 1875 with Liberty himself at the helm and only three staff members at its location on Regent Street in the West End. Though he only had a £2,000 loan from his future father-in-law to bring his ideas to life, Liberty harbored dreams of offering luxury goods and fabrics from faraway places, like a ship that has docked in the city streets. With that, the retailer amassed a vast range of merchandise from around the world to sell in Central London. In fact, he was so successful that he repaid the loan within 18 months. As demand grew, Liberty bought more adjacent properties to accommodate his well-edited stock of fashion and furnishings.

Centuries later, the extraordinary architecture of the emporium today includes several neighboring buildings acquired from business growth. Just as their founder’s original concept, their structural style borrows elements from ships: Edwin T. Hall and his son Edwin S. Hall designed the stately Tudor revival building and over 24,000 cubic feet of ship timber from old battleships—formerly deck flooring—became the Liberty shop floors. The entire store as everyone knows it today was completed in 1924.

The employees in JL & Wrose are the Partners. A bonus is a share of the profit and is only paid to the Partners if they make a profit :-(

Mind you don’t buy the books in there but make notes of the titles ;-) ;-)

Possibly Belle.

I always found Liberty to be a bit dull. Not a very big shop at all.

Selfridges is more American to my way of thinking. The lifts are fab. Art Deco.
