The high street hangouts we loved – and lost

• It may seem odd to be nostalgic about shops. But when I was rifling through my wardrobe in search of a scooped-neck Kelly green Kookai sweater I used to wear (Oh my, remember Kookai? Just like Miu Miu only cheaper!); I had a sudden flashback to how great going out shopping, specifically clothes shopping, used to be, in the years before the British high street began gradually dying a death.
