A la Ciudad de Londres was a traditional European store, which operated Buenos Aires from 1872 to 1922.[1] It was the first large clothing store established in the city of Buenos Aires towards the end of the 19th century.[2]

History

This fashion store was installed in Buenos Aires by 1870. Its owner was Jean Brun, of French origin, who opened the first branch in the neighborhood of Monserrat.[3] It was inaugurated on March 15, 1873 at the intersections of Peru and Avenida de Mayo streets.[4]

Towards 1890, a second branch was opened located on the streets Pellegrini and Corrientes, in the neighborhood of San Nicolas.[5] The original store building located in Peru and Mayo streets was destroyed in a fire on August 19, 1910.[6]

The employees of this store founded the Club Atlético Independiente in 1904.[7]

A la Ciudad de Londres traded with the main European houses, including fashion products of England, Scotland and France.[8] It was the main store in Buenos Aires towards end of the 19th century, and early 20th century.[9]
