Wisma Atria has a little Brtish High Street corner in my opinion.
On level one above ground, you will find Warehouse, Kookai and Topman. Topshop is just above Topman.
There is also the cosmetic firm 'Lush' on ground floor.
1.Warehouse is a posh chain store in Singapore's market and you can find it in all the posh shopping centres in Singapore. I found the prices are slighty higher than in UK, about 10 pounds more.
2. Topshop markets itself as cool and THe London look in the Singapore market and the store really mirrors what the flagship London store looks like. From the decor to the giant screen TV to the AppleMac for internet browsing, not to mention the video games machine.There is also not much price differences, the clothes is just a little bit more expensive than in UK. Maybe 2 or 3 pounds more, that can be justify by the expensive shipping cost. In fact, there are lots of discounts and I bought a shirt from there for the equivalent of 20 pounds, back in England Topshop is selling it for 25 pounds!!
3. Kookai, well although it's a common sight in Britain, strictly speaking this is a French store. Not much worth mentioning.
Other UK high street stores you might find: French Connection, Mango
WH Smith.
To sum it up, it's hard to feel homesick in Singapore with all the UK high street stores around
