Good evening
We are taking a trip to London in the fall and are staying close to Trafalgar Square. My wife and I wanted to pop into Harrods and Selfridges. Sadly the Miss Selfridges apparently is closed. The original boutique store was managed by my father in the 60’s. In any case I wanted to visit a local NAIM boutique if there is one close to Harrods. Would love to pop in to see what’s new.
Thanks
Suneal
Harrods do sell Naim, but I’m not sure of the range they sell. You could contact them.
If you want a Naim Boutique or Focal Powered by Naim then Sevenoaks might be the nearest?
There are plenty of established dealers who sell Naim, though they are not ‘Naim Boutiques’ Are you wanting to buy new kit and export it to your home in Ontario? Or just look?
You can see the range here:https://www.naimaudio.com
If you click on ‘Our Stores’ you will see an interactive map of the Focal Powered by Naim Boutiques. https://www.naimaudio.com/stores?universe=7
Audiolounge and K j west are fairly close

Hello, yes I’m interested in looking at new products, as the nearest NAIM Focal dealer is over 1 hour away where we live. Not counting traffic in Toronto which is now far worse than LA.
I’m sure given your family connection you would enjoy Harrods and Selfridges. The high-fi specialists mentioned by @Stepdol carry an extensive range.
Get on the Piccadily line to Cockfosters. Decent dealer up there near the station. Nice ride too.
Good call! @suneal the rules of the forum prevent members recommending particular dealers, but Google will give you names and locations. Their websites will show you current stock.
Thanks Stokie I will check them out. I was hoping to visit one of the NAIM boutiques if there is one close by to Harrods.
Sevenoaks in Kent is the nearest. This is about an hours journey by train from Trafalgar Square. You might brave the traffic at home to visit one there?
The thing about the FocalNAIM boutiques is that they sell nothing else, as I understand. The British hi-fi tradition is often mixing and matching brands to create the best sound for the money with separates. But some of these independent dealers have vast knowledge and sell Naim 500 series even Statement. Not everyone wants to pair Focal speakers either…
Good luck!
