London’s historic hat shop marks its 350th anniversary

London, Apr 16 (EFE).- Behind a modest storefront in central London lies the world’s oldest hat shop, which is celebrating 350 years of history with an illustrious clientele ranging from Admiral Nelson and Winston Churchill to King Charles III, as well as Charles Chaplin, Penélope Cruz, and David Beckham.

Founded in 1676 and still owned by the same family, Lock & Co is one of the treasures of the stately St James’s Street.
