Dress code in London

I was reading up about London and came to know that certain
restaurants and even some stores like Harrods strictly enforce a dress
code. It made me wonder what would be a safe choice of clothes white
sightseeing on a weekend. I would hate to miss out on things like the
traditional tea in the afternoon because of "inappropriate" dress.

You can pretty much where what you want.

The harrods story sounds like BS to me.

Hi.

I must say you really seem to overplan this London visit of yours a bit
Sabyasachi. Are'nt you leaving with Eurostar in about 18 hours time?

Anyway, wear anything you want, as long as it does not violate the local's
'concept of reality'.

A few things may be seen as a bit over the top, and certainly in London. Do
not scare the cows on Sundays, I thought was the general principle?

Have a nice stay in London while you're still there. And do enjoy Paris,
something that is not very difficult.

In London you can dress absolutely anyhow and no one will lift an eyebrow.
You will see in Oxford street, for example, veiled arab ladies from the
Gulf...I mean completely veiled except for the eyes.
Punks are still about and dressing codes are multiple.
No fear about wearing wrong clothes, hey you can even wear sportswear and
Nikes !
The atmosphere of the city is cosmopolitan and clothes are worn accordingly.

There was a story a while back about one of the Gallagher brothers being
refused entry because of ripped jeans. But as long as you look kind of
respectable you will have no problems.

The Harrods dress code is simply no ripped jeans or super revealing
clothes. Most of us do not wear this anyway. This is no longer the
1800's....relax and enjoy!
