Famous London Streets

SAVILE ROW

Savile Row is famous for its men’s tailoring, in particular men’s suits. In fact, Savile Row is credited for the invention of the term bespoke, as suits were often described to “be spoken for” or “be-spoked” for. The street has often been referred to as the golden mile of tailoring.

Savile Row was first developed in 1695 as part of the Burlington Estate. It had been part of the gardens of Burlington House previous to this. Originally it was named Savile Street. Houses were built on one side of the street, with gardens on the other side and was therefore nicknamed Savile Row, with a row of houses on one side. The name was officially changed in 1810.

Tailors started to play a big part in the area around this time. The first tailors appear on the street in 1785, and over the next fifty years the trend continued. This is what made the area famous. Many Savile Row Tailors have gone out of business or moved elsewhere within London, but plenty still remain and it is still the place many men go for their tailoring.

FLEET STREET

Fleet Street is synonymous with the British Press. The street runs from the east end of the Strand through to Farringdon Street.

In the late fifteenth and early sixteenth century the trend for printers and publishers moving into the area began. Later, and more famously, newspapers started to move their offices to Fleet Street. The first daily newspaper to do this was the Daily Courant in the early 1700’s. By the 20th century a large majority of London and National newspapers had their headquarters in the area.

This is no longer the case though, as many of the papers moved out of Fleet Street from the 1980’s. All of the main newspapers have now left and it is now more associated with law practices.

Despite the area no longer being the home of the newspapers, it is still known for this. Fleet Street is still often a collective name meaning the newspapers. If somebody says that “Fleet Street has been saying…..”, it means that this is being said by the newspapers.

HARLEY STREET

Harley Street is world famous for its medical practices. Prior to the 18th century it only consisted of a few houses and was part of the village of Marylebone; not yet part of the City of London. As London grew in the 1700’s century Marylebone became part of London. It was developed into a larger residential area between 1715 and 1720. Around a century later doctors started setting up home in the area, with a number of them setting up practices from their homes. As this trend continued the area became well known in this regard.

Over the 150 years that followed a large number of medical practitioners moved to Harley Street, with one and a half thousand believed to be in the street and its surrounding areas buy the middle of the twentieth century. It had the largest concentration of medical expertise on earth. Today there are still a number of medical practices in the street across a broad range of areas of expertise.

OXFORD STREET

Oxford Street is world famous for its shopping. It is London’s main shopping area, and is the busiest shopping street in Europe. It used to be part of the main road from London to Oxford, hence the name Oxford Street.

The street runs for one and a half miles and is full of shops, with a few restaurants and café’s. It has many major department stores and to be a major player in retail in the UK it is almost considered a must that you have a store in Oxford Street. Most of the best known shops have their main store here, with some having two or three. Oxford Street is known for how busy it can be, especially prior to Christmas and in the post-Christmas sales.

REGENTS STREET

Regent Street is another main London shopping street. In runs north from Piccadilly Circus to Oxford Street. It is not as busy as Oxford Street and is different in its appearance with its grand buildings.

Regents Street was one of London’s first planned developments and built in the early 1800’s. Building was completed in 1825 and every building on the street is listed. It is considered more elegant than Oxford Street, and is famous for its Christmas lights.

Buying Wholesale Saves Retailers Money

Buying wholesale is the practice of purchasing goods in large quantities at a cheaper price to be sold at a retail store for a higher price. Almost anything can be purchased at a wholesale price if you purchase enough of the items. Depending on the company's policy you may be able to purchase as little as five items and receive a wholesale price on each of the items. Then you can turn around and sell them in your retail store for a higher price to make a profit. That is what wholesale dealing and selling is all about.

Wholesale paper goods, such as envelopes of various sizes and shapes, copy machine paper, printer paper, notebook paper, colored paper, notebooks of every size shape and color, folders, flashcards and index cards, business cards, announcements and party invitations, three ring binders, note cards with matching envelopes and hanging file folders are all part of the wholesale paper goods that can be purchased through a wholesale dealer and then sold for retail prices making a profit for the retailer.

Paper companies or stationary retailers can be found both on the Internet and in the regular brick-and-mortar market place. Wholesale dealers allow these stationary and paper companies to purchase a variety of paper products and then they retailers pass the savings on to you in the form of sales so that you are enticed to purchase more because the prices are so low. It is the same thing with the retailers; they purchase more from the wholesalers because the prices are so low.

If you have a special occasion coming up such as a wedding, baby shower, open house, wedding shower, christening or any other special occasion, retailers will give you a price break for purchasing several stationary items at one time. This could include the invitations and the reply cards in addition to the seals or stickers and all the envelopes. The retail stationary store can offer you this discount because they themselves received a generous discount from the wholesale dealer.

Sometimes it's best to skip the retail store and go directly to the wholesaler if you need to purchase a lot of stationary or paper goods for something such as a business or a school or in large special occasion like a large wedding of over 500 people or grand opening of your own business in which you'd like to send out announcements to everyone in a certain demographic, then it would be prudent to go directly to the wholesaler to save money by purchasing your stationary and paper goods at a wholesale costs. You're only cutting out the middleman which in this case would be the retailer.

Wholesale dealers make their money by purchasing the paper products direct from the factory and then passing their savings on to you by allowing you to purchase in bulk so that you can make money in the retail paper business. Wholesalers purchase in truckloads to get their deep discounts in order to become wholesale dealers of paper goods and stationary items.
