a store instead of Bloomingdales?

A question for my British friends. Giles' PoV describing a woman. She's a secretary but she buys upscale clothes. I'm thinking Bloomingdale's discount rack. But I don't know if a British guy would know Bloomies.

Knightsbridge is for tourists. Mayfair is where the really upmarket little shops are. According to F, who works there. Sloane Square possibly - but Bond Street trumps that.

That's knowledge I would think only a woman would have. A bloke would be aware, as I am, that Harrods and Harvey Nicks are in Knightsbridge but not know about the little shops. To me Mayfair is a square on the Monopoly board and a fairly up-market adult magazine.

Yeah, but you don't live in London. Ripper's accent suggests he comes from Camden, like Tony Head. Londoners know areas a bit more. If only so they know where to avoid.
