The king of the furniture shops lining Tottenham Court Road, it has designs that combine modern style with classicism and are well made, particularly beds and seating. Prices are high, but the store makes for delightful browsing, and the kitchenware and decorative pieces are more affordable while still retaining good looks. At Christmas time, Heal's decorative baubles are gorgeous. There is another store at 234 King's Road, Chelsea SW3. Tube: Goodge St.
