Refreshingly, Epping High Street has retained an old-fashioned charm, and strolling along it makes a heart-warming change from the monotony of almost-uniform main streets in so many towns and cities.The street is long and wide with pleasant low-level buildings allowing several imposing towers to dominate the skyline.Only one of the big-boy coffee chains has an outlet in Epping and while some of the famous shopping suspects are present, their stores are comparatively small (Boots, Next, Co-op, Thresher), with the exception of the fair-sized Tesco.What this means, of course, is that there's room for individual shops to flourish and there's a varied choice on offer including art suppliers, book stores, boutiques for children and adults, a dancewear shop, and Geoffrey Drayton's classy design shop, which specialises in furniture from Hulsta, Ligne Roset and Cassina, as well as Scandinavian pieces.
