At the heart of the high street is Debenhams, the department store packed full of designer brands like H! By Henry Holland, Butterfly by Matthew Williamson, J by Jasper Conran and Star by Julian MacDonald. With 153 stores across the UK and Ireland, Debenhams is a the place to go for all your clothing, beauty and home needs. While the nation loves Debenhams, it's got a sturdy celebrity following too. The cast of Harry Potter were often kitted out with designers from Debenhams. Alexa Chung has also been known to shop there (probably to support her friend Henry Holland who has a range for the department store) as has the model Emma B. Debenhams also has enough awards that a shelf doesn't really do them justice, ranging from Lorraine Kelly's best department store of the year to recognition from fashion powerhouse Drapers. The high street doesn't look quite the same without a Debenhams.
