DEFINITION
The phrase A London Steal in popular culture commonly refers to an object, place or thing which is fabulous by nature whilst still allowing for a continuation of ones financial existence post procurement. As Elle said one morning between sips of her triple-shot cappuccino, “I want to buy the shoe. And then I want to not have to move into it.“
The verb to steal does not apply literally in any way shape or form to the actions or intentions of London’s Stealers. The phrase ‘Ohmygodwheredidyougetthat!?!?!’ is totally acceptable, and will be asked a lot.
