Next door in the Mayfair Shops you'll find Structure, Planet Hollywood, Bath and Body Shop, The Limited, and a huge and wonderful health-food store called Oak Feed. When you think you've checked it all out, there'll be still more to discover, including Baby Gap and Borders Book Store and Cafe, which features live music and comfortable seats for browsing .
