I worked at Liberty's in '68. Lovely to see inside and how it's changed. Was always exciting to see 'the famous people'. Brian Jones came into the department I was working with his girlfriend.
My friend is a prominent Tennis UA-camr and I’m told him for ages to ditch his camera and use his iPhone 12 in HD or 4K mode and his videos are so much better. He gets so many comments how good they look now. Can’t beat iPhone for its computational video capabilities! Keep up the good work!!
Another delightful outing! Your enthusiasm and cheerfulness are a tonic, and make London come alive again. Claridge’s Bar sounds like a wonderful way to spend the afternoon.
Finally... after years of reading about the Liberty store, seeing the architecture up close for real was excellent, thank you Hannah, much appreciated 🙂
On public tv here in the states we used to get a sitcom called "Are you being served?" and this store reminded me of that show--wonder if that is where it was filmed? Loved it and miss it and would love to visit Liberty as I am a home sewer & love fabric!! Claridges is also very beautiful---Wow! Started watching you last Winter and loved your walks so it is a nice change now to see people out and about. You look very happy and thinner!!!!
its funny that its called Liberty, its like taking piss on humanity, that stuff there is so expensive that not everyone can afford it. And that our world is actually not free because of money control and constant surviving, working and consuming. That is pretty much our world is about. And it even have masonic symbol of white and black chessboard pattern on floor, which is shows a lot on celebrities, movies, music etc. Truman show, which is collapsing. Just smth to share to open people eyes. :)
THANK YOU for showing me London! One day I hope to get there but right now you are my virtual tour guide!!!! You are one of the most thoughtful bloggers out there!!!!
Liberty is the original home of quirky! Glad you are showing this store, I haven't been inside it for nearly 50 years. The interior is the same but I notice that they aren't filling the place to the brim - there is room to walk around without knocking down a display. I always bought gifts there. The prints are wonderful- I was introduced to the style of William Morris which I still love. I still have a scarf that has held up beautifully.
Really enjoyed that trip to Liberty. Those liberty print little girls’ dresses are so cute! A bit pricey though ! Those animal rugs made me laugh. I could see them in a child’s room. You definitely should buy yourself some quirky decorative pillows for your couch. They make such a difference and can be changed seasonally or just when you want a bit of a different look. Thanks for the shopping trip, Hannah! And the stop at Claridge’s afterwards 😉
@@HannahRicketts we call ones on sofas "throw pillows" in america. My mother & I thoroughly enjoyed this video. U r also the best wdw vlogger showing appropriate attention to the gift shops. Well done!
Wonderful vlog Hannah, really enjoyed it. Love, love,love Liberty's. I still have a charming little foot stool purchased some 40 years ago in their New Year sale. I remember it as if it were yesterday - my husband kept going on about how much of a fire hazard it was, with all that wood ! If you get just one iconic little piece, you'll treasure it all your life x
Ahhh, a wonderful decadent day, every time you walk by Claridges, there will be a grin on your face, remembering your day... meandering through Liberty's, a few must have purchases, hee hee hee and then a relaxing afternoon with cocktails and nibblies, on a late summer afternoon.. Epic!
My favourite vlogs to watch - thanks for taking us along once again! I love that you treat yourself and go places on your own. I’d kill for a rosé on a roof top in London. Not literally, but I can’t wait to go back. Xx
Wonderful excursion into retail magic - Liberty's brand is a joy in these challenging times. I didn't want it to end - the details, the product, and the physical store adapting to the moment were all intriguing!
I will be sharing this video as you have provided such a good tour of Liberty - I had no idea it was such an interesting department store. Inspiring me to book a fall trip to London!
Thought I'd just add this Hannah - its so easy to make cushion covers - you don't need a machine, and you can choose some gorgeous Liberty fabric to vamp up your room. I have made all kinds of soft furnishings over the years, I have summer cushion covers, then as we approach October I change to winter ones. There are so many "How to make " blogs out there and its very rewarding x
That was nice. I'd never heard of Liberty but it would fascinating to browse through there. And that was a very pleasant way to spend the end of the day with a drink and just wasting time. It's so good to waste time once in a while.
WOW! Hannah, this was just fantastic. I wanted to buy EVERYTHING in Liberty. What an amazing store. And Claridges! I felt like I was there with you. BTW loved your outfit (what we could see of it). Thank you so much for sharing this, I have new places on my bucket list now.....You are keeping the travel dream alive for those of us in Australia. Looking forward to that afternoon tea!
Thank you so much for this beautiful trip to Liberty’s, especially the fabric prints floor. Seeing the wall honoring those who served in the wars was so poignant and meaningful. After this horrible week some fizz at Claridge’s was just what I needed. How lovely that they have blankets on the chairs. These are the kind of details that you so wonderfully point out. You are a blessing.
I have enjoyed every one of your vlogs! This particular one is OUTSTANDING! I’ve never heard of the Liberty Store, but it’s on my list to visit when I go to London next time. PLEASE make a Christmas vlog from here.
Hi Hannah , great vlog! I love this store. The architecture is amazing, and I love the variety of merchandise. Please vlog Liberty at Christmas??. Thanks so much for letting me experience London through your videos.
Thank you, Hannah, for going to Liberty! I've never been to England and it's one of the stores on my "to visit" listing. Glad you treated yourself to a nice glass (or two) afterwards. I always look forward to your vlogs as they're such fun. All the best.
Lovely video, thanks for taking us in there. I noticed a smaller plaque on the stairway wall for staff lost in WW2, and then when you showed us the WW1 plaque i saw the name Claridge on there...will be interesting to google the stories of them both. Such a special tribute still having them there.
What a lovely vlog ❤️ such fun thank you so much Hannah. That store was amazing you should definitely add it to the Christmas Vlog list! The Hotel was beautiful as well... so glad you got out for a stroll and took us along ❤️❤️❤️you honestly made my day 🌻🌸xoxo take care of yourself see you next week. 🙋
I just loved your vlog. Ive been to London four times. How did I ever miss Liberty of London dept store? If we ever get to traveling again that will be my first stop in London. I love love love the little girl's smocked dresses. I have two granddaughters that would look just lovely in them.. Thank you again for taking us all around London.. Vickie
Christmas Store, Christmas Store, Christmas Store 😛. Thank you for showing us around. How perfectly civilised sitting in the hotel bar soaking up a summer’s day and treating yourself 🥰
Loved it! I am a sewer/quilter and love Liberty fabric. My postponed trip back to Scotland in 2020 (expat in CA) was to include my final 2 days in London specifically to visit Liberty which I have never been to! Still haven’t rebooked, hoping for May 2022. This video will keep me going for awhile, many thanks Hannah.
Great video, lots of shopping. London is great can’t wait to get back there with the misses. Catching up after editing my Disney vlogs. Tea time looked great.
Growing up in Australia in the 1980's, I wore Liberty ALL THE TIME. Drop waist dresses (with liberty sash), liberty skirts with peter pan frilled Laura Ashley blouse and liberty combs and ribbons! Love that store, thanks for taking the time to vlog. Loved your Claridge's stopover too xx
Hi Hannah, it was worth the wait, so loved it and it brought back such wonderful memories. Oh those scarfs were to die for unfortunately so were the prices, one day I will buy one. My guess for your afternoon tea, The Savoy. All the best from Melbourne cheers Kim 😊👍👍
Love this video Hannah. I very much seeing inside Liberty (not my first time seeing it, but nice seeing what some of the changes are since my last viewing on another vlog). Also, I really liked the art deco style glassware from restaurant at Claridge's. And don't worry about have a little more than you originally went in for... everyone deserves a little extra sometimes. Cheers.
I’ve always wanted to see Liberty of London! Thanks for look inside. I love that they packaged everything so beautifully! Looking forward to wherever you want to take us next!
Thanks for all the video clips of the jewelry and rugs areas. I have my team ready for our next heist. jk. Great video as usual. As the drinks kept coming in the last 7 minutes, it inspired me to have one too. Cheers to the weekend. :P
Hi hannah😊x, that is a great store,the building is out of this world,and staff so kind and helpful, and with you just walking and talking,with what you like and love,I always used to shop there,thank you hannah for bringing back my memories 😊God bless you,and do keep you safe,👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍great blog
Hi again Hannah. Nice to see you uploading again, I watched your previous Harrods shopping vlog and I loved it. My older brother went there back in July and he said he enjoyed it. Got some nice Harrods biscuits/shortbread's from him to. 🦔👍

You’re a super tour guide! I’ve never seen the inside of Liberty. It’s amazing! Thank you for a fun & entertaining vlog.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching x
My friend is a prominent Tennis UA-camr and I’m told him for ages to ditch his camera and use his iPhone 12 in HD or 4K mode and his videos are so much better. He gets so many comments how good they look now.
Can’t beat iPhone for its computational video capabilities! Keep up the good work!!
Hey Mike, I'm just wondering who is your friend, I play tennis too and wanna start YT! Have a great day mate
Another delightful outing! Your enthusiasm and cheerfulness are a tonic, and make London come alive again. Claridge’s Bar sounds like a wonderful way to spend the afternoon.
Thanks Brian!
Finally... after years of reading about the Liberty store, seeing the architecture up close for real was excellent, thank you Hannah, much appreciated 🙂
That looked like a Dale Chihuly chandelier near the end. I'm fascinated with your vlogs Hannah Ricketts. You have a special touch.
I think it was.. someone else has commented that too
@@HannahRicketts ... Cheers
Yes, all the way from Seattle. Beautiful.
@@letitiahansford307 Very nice. It's a wonderful surprise to see one of his fine works right there in Ms. Ricketts' vlog.
Last time I was in London I walked by Liberty and regretted that I did not have time to stop in and see it. Thanks for showing us inside in a fun way.
Loved also the tour of the Claridges Hotel. Will have to visit there at some point. Looks fantastic.
On public tv here in the states we used to get a sitcom called "Are you being served?" and this store reminded me of that show--wonder if that is where it was filmed? Loved it and miss it and would love to visit Liberty as I am a home sewer & love fabric!! Claridges is also very beautiful---Wow! Started watching you last Winter and loved your walks so it is a nice change now to see people out and about. You look very happy and thinner!!!!
I love Are you being served, been watching it again on You Tube. That storedoes remind me of the one in it. I'm in the US also
Ha yes it's like that! I think that was a set, but this store is similar! Thanks for watching x
I understand the show is based on a particular store in London but not this one.
Hi Hannah, you looked so pretty in your jacket and what a fun vlog this was! Looking forward to the upcoming tea vlog with your sister.
The ends of the fabric are called remnants. You are a sweetie!
What a beautiful store, thank you for showing us. Think after the horrors of these past months, a treat is well deserved, enjoy your 🍷🥂 👍🏴
Thanks Lesley!

Oh! How nostalgic I do feel right now. Thanks a lot! Liberty will be always a sweet memory from London.
I luv your solo shopping/afternoon drink vids. So fun yet relaxing at the same time. It's necessary to treat yourself like this once in a while.

Great fun Hannah! I love that all the floors, stairs, and paneling in Liberty are from an old ship. 🥂
Yes I actually filmed but cut out where the sign said this.. I should of left it in!
