Both the growth of online stores such as Amazon and the arrival of the nearby St James Quarter have taken business away from the Capital’s most famous street, and it often seems quite deserted these days.
However, it wasn’t always this way. Take a look through our picture gallery to see a dozen great Princes Street shops of the 90sand 00s that you might remember.

British Home Stores was a Princes Street staple in the 1990s and 2000s. Now also sadly gone, but the A-listed building is still with us. Photo: Dan Phillips

Did what it said on the tin: books, and lots of them, at bargain basement prices. Lovely. Photo: Bill Henry
