Liberty London was founded in 1875 by Arthur Lasenby Liberty as a shop selling decorative fabrics and objects from the East.
The current timber-framed building on Great Marlborough Street was constructed in 1924, using reclaimed wood from HMS Hindustan and HMS Impregnable, both Royal Navy ships. Its distinctive mock-Tudor style and beautiful interiors were intended to evoke the comfort of an English stately home, providing the perfect backdrop for Liberty’s luxury wares. It has a fireplace in each room.

The frontage of the store is the same length as the HMS Hindustan, and the wooden floorboards under your feet are the old ship decks.
