The London boutique
Maison Margiela's London store is at 22 Bruton Street in Mayfair. The house moved there in 2008 from a smaller shop around the corner on Bruton Place, and the store was later redesigned by Studio Anne Holtrop across two floors. It carries the full collection, from ready-to-wear to fragrance. Check opening hours with the boutique before you visit.

What UK shoppers buy first
UK searches lean towards the T-shirt, the jumper and jeans. These are the pieces I would start with:
1. Numeric Cotton Jersey T-Shirt in Black
The numbers tee. The most searched Margiela piece in the UK after the brand itself.
2. Elbow Patch Cardigan in Grey
The elbow-patch knit, Margiela's classic jumper shape, here as a cardigan.
3. Wool Cashmere Crewneck in Ecru
A wool and cashmere jumper in ecru for a British winter.
4. Straight-Leg Jeans in Light Blue
Straight-leg jeans in light blue denim.
5. Virgin Wool Double-Breasted Coat in Black
The double-breasted coat. Buy it once and wear it for years.
6. Cotton Poplin Shirt in White
The white poplin shirt, with the four stitches at the collar.
Delivery to the UK
Coveti ships worldwide with DHL Express and FedEx International Priority, insured until signature, from partner hubs in London, Milan, Melbourne and Dubai. Most regions ship Delivered Duty Unpaid, which makes you the importer of record, so local import taxes are paid on delivery. Returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery; the full terms are in the logistics and returns protocol. For UK orders that means VAT and any duty are charged on import.
Dressing for the UK climate
Margiela suits British weather well: layered knits, long wool coats and trench coats. The Folded Collar Cotton Trench Coat in Military Green handles spring rain, and the Shearling Caban in Camel is the cold-weather choice. Read the coats and jackets guide and the knitwear guide.
