London and Middlesex / Re: Galeries Lafayette, Regent St, London (early-mid 1900s)

I worked at Galleries Lafayette during the sixties, it was definitely where Hamleys is situated now. We had 13 windows and showcases which were walked between to enter the store. I worked in the display department.  Assessories on the ground floor. fashions on the first floor which was galleried, now Hamleys escalators. There were a further 3 sales floors, the fifth floor was for alteration and the staff canteen was on the roof. Offices and our display department was in the basement.I still have a picture of the store.

I was lucky enough to work in Galleries Lafayette in Regent St, in the 60s. I worked displaying windows and interior. The store was connected to the Paris and Nice stores at that time. It was a delightful place to work and I have happy memories of what I achieved there and the people I worked with. I. still have a postcard of the exterior. As much as I love Hamlets, it is sad to see the interior as it is now.
