The former Debenham & Freebody department store, Wigmore Street, London.

Debenham & Freebody was a department store at 27–37 Wigmore Street, London, which became part of the Debenhams chain. The building, first opened in 1908,[1] is now used by a variety of occupiers and is grade II listed by Historic England.[2]

In Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express, a suspect gives the name Freebody in a fumbled attempt to divert suspicion away from another suspect, named Debenham.[3]
