Christoff's Take

Insider review

Nestled on the iconic Regent Street, & Other Stories brings a refreshingly curated approach to women's fashion that's distinctly different from your typical high street fare. This H&M Group sister brand has carved out its own sophisticated niche, offering collections designed across three fashion capitals - Paris, Stockholm, and LA - all under one elegantly appointed roof.

My Honest Review

Atmosphere & Ambiance

Step inside this Regent Street flagship and you're immediately struck by the thoughtful curation that defines the & Other Stories experience. The contemporary retail environment embodies that coveted Scandinavian minimalism whilst maintaining an unexpectedly bright and airy feel - no mean feat on busy Regent Street. The venue scores a solid 7.5/10 for sophistication, and it shows in every carefully arranged display. There's a palpable sense of 'sustainable chic' throughout, with the space feeling more like a fashion gallery than a traditional shop. The interior reflects what they call their 'fashion storytelling approach,' where seasonal must-haves sit alongside timeless treasures in a way that feels genuinely curated rather than simply stocked. With an energy level of 6.5/10, it strikes that perfect balance between the buzz of discovery and the calm needed for proper browsing. The trendy factor here is impressive at 8.5/10 - this isn't following trends, it's setting them.

Food & Drink

Not applicable - this is a fashion retail destination.

Service & Experience

The service experience aligns with the brand's Scandinavian roots - efficient, knowledgeable, and refreshingly unpushy. Staff seem genuinely engaged with the collections and can speak intelligently about the design origins from Paris, Stockholm, and LA. The venue scores 6.0/10 for conversation-friendliness, which translates to helpful assistance when needed without the overwhelming attention you might find elsewhere on Regent Street. The changing room experience is notably better during off-peak hours, and the staff are accommodating about helping you navigate the curated collections across clothing, accessories, shoes, bags, jewelry, and beauty products.

Value for Money

Here's where honesty matters - this sits firmly in the mid-range premium category with a price level of 2/4. Expect to pay £40-120 per item, so this definitely isn't budget-friendly territory. However, the value proposition lies in the unique curation you simply won't find elsewhere. These Paris/Stockholm/LA designed collections offer something genuinely different from the standard high street offering. The quality reflects the premium positioning, and you're paying for design-led pieces that feel more exclusive than typical chain store fare. It's positioned as a premium fashion shopping experience, and the pricing reflects that ambition.

Insider Tips

Best Time to Visit

Hit the weekday 10am opening for the best experience - you'll get first access to new drops and enjoy empty changing rooms. The store operates Mon-Fri 10am-9pm, Saturday 10am-9pm, and Sunday 12pm-6pm. Avoid Saturday afternoons when the Regent Street crowds are at their peak.

What to Focus On

Focus on the seasonal drops that showcase the tri-city design approach - these pieces offer the most unique value proposition. The beauty products section is particularly well-curated and worth exploring alongside the fashion pieces.

The Regent Street location is prime real estate used well, creating a space that feels more like a fashion destination than just another shop.
