Clothing and leather goods
- Connolly: a British clothing and leather goods brand founded in 1878. Its shop is at 4 Clifford Street, W1S 2LG.

Planning a route
Two of the six sit on Savile Row, at numbers 9 and 39, so they are easy to see in one walk. Clifford Street is a short distance away. The Royal Arcade, off Old Bond Street, and Burlington Arcade are both covered passages, and Piccadilly is home to Cordings. Check each shop's current opening times and appointment arrangements before setting out.
