I've gotten over this calculation issue, partially by having a prosecco (new favourite drink darlinks) before hitting the shops. It works.
For my lovely ladies, here are my favourite finds:
1) Massimo Dutti - sister store of zara. Same prices, all cropped leather jackets and cashmere jumpers. Witchery meets zara basically.

2) Selfridges - the store on Oxford St is my spiritual home. Many a Saturday I've gone for a walk there, as an excuse to exercise. They ship to Aus (although really, I could just ship for you)
At the moment they have turned their rooftop into a mini golf and afternoon tea retreat. As you do.
They have the most amazing shoe emporium, which often sees me wandering through touching everything.
3) Asos- also ships to Australia.
4) Ted Baker - so so much better over here. Cheaper and lots of lovely silk dresses.
5) H&M is terrible, but they have fantastic designer collaborations. Topshop is a nightmare from which I wish everyone would awake.
Tomorrow I'm going to Harrods for lunch with my friend Georgina (not normally a place we would shop due to it being only for tourists but she needs to buy some gifts for people in Aus) and then.. onto the UK's first Victoria Secret store for some "smalls" on Oxford St.
There are some crazy fashions in London at the moment for those who are interested of being ahead of the Melbourne game:
- crazy pants (patterned, studded, cropped and coloured)
- waxed jeans
- studs of any kind, on everything
- flat ankle boots
- oversized denim shirts
- hair buns
- loafers/brouges etc etc (still)
- never ever high heels (so lower class)
- denim shorts with butt cheek (good luck to you)
- mulberry everything
- floral sheer shirts
