London Collections Men Jermyn Street

Day 2 of London Collections Men and I headed down to Jermyn Street. There were foodie stalls such as Henson & Lyderson and a Mayfair classic Fortnum & Mason.  Artisans were on hand from many of the local shops to impart their specialist knowledge on the general public.
