Henley’s high street is a mix of dreams and reality. You have Waitrose for your posh groceries. You have a M&S, of course. But you also have shops selling £500 jumpers and candles that smell like “forest optimism.”
It’s not cheap. Let’s be real. Your wallet will feel the burn. But there are also lovely independent bookshops and a bakery that makes you believe in carbs again.
And the charity shops? They are elite. People donate designer clothes they wore once to a wedding. It’s a treasure hunt for the thrifty.
