Swingin' Safari

London

Sacha Baron-Cohen's latest flick Brüno is out today, which is as good a reason as any to mention his family's shop. Baron Of Piccadilly have been punting togs to discerning gents for decades at 210 Piccadilly. Seemingly aloof of all that fashion nonsense, it's probably the last place in Britain where a chap can still get a safari suit.

Baron of Piccadilly is closing down - the building's Crown Estate and they're demolishing it with no objection from either Westminster Council or Boris Johnson.

Oh, that is a shame. Thanks for the news, anyway 'anonymous'. Piccadilly is finally becoming as bland as Covent Garden.
