Liberty, Department store in Westminster, London, United Kingdom.
This luxury department store occupies a Tudor revival building constructed from timber salvaged from two historic warships, HMS Impregnable and HMS Hindustan, and features three atriums designed to resemble the interior of a traditional home rather than a commercial space.
Founded in 1875 by Arthur Lasenby Liberty on Regent Street with only three staff members, the store initially specialized in Asian textiles and decorative items before relocating to its current Great Marlborough Street location in 1924, where it has remained ever since.
The store significantly influenced the Arts and Crafts movement and Art Nouveau styles in Britain, earning the name Stile Liberty in Italy for its contributions to promoting artistic design and collaborating with renowned designers like William Morris and Archibald Knox throughout its history.
Located on Great Marlborough Street just off Carnaby Street in Westminster, the Grade II* listed building remains accessible to visitors seeking luxury fabrics, fashion, beauty products, and homewares featuring signature floral prints drawn from an archive of over 45,000 pieces.
A gilded copper weathervane shaped like the Mayflower ship stands on the rooftop, measuring over 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall and weighing more than 112 pounds (51 kilograms), symbolizing the store's connection to exploration and discovery since its installation in the 1920s.
