Give the gift that keeps on giving with a selection of teas from the flagship Twinnings store on the Strand. There’s nothing quite so quintessentially British as afternoon tea. The London Transport Museum also sells a great range of gifts for children. They also sell cushions made out of the iconic moquette fabric – the exact same fabric used to upholster London’s transport vehicles. One of my favourite souvenirs from London has to be the vintage Underground posters sold by the London Transport Museum. Fortnum & Mason is famous for its hampers but it has lots of other original London souvenirs inside as well London Underground Poster The market is held on Sundays from 8am to around 3pm. Columbia Road Flower Market is another place to head for unique British gifts. Portobello Road Market, on one of London’s most famous streets, is always fun to discover. The famed Food Hall is particularly good for unique London souvenirs for foodies.ĭon’t miss some of London’s markets while you’re here as these are often great places to find the perfect London souvenir. Which leads me on to Harrods, the largest shop in Britain and a brilliant place to buy unique gifts from London. This, the flagship store, is the second largest shop in the UK and opened in 1909. On nearby Oxford Street is where you’ll find famous department store Selfridges, an emporium of fashion, homewares, make-up, kids’ goods and much more spread over nine floors. Famous for its ‘Liberty prints’ these are available to buy as washbags, notebooks, dressing gowns and more. Liberty is on Great Marlborough Street in the West End of London. It’s worth visiting for the building alone – a grand Tudor revival building that was constructed from the timbers of two ships: HMS Impregnable (formerly HMS Howe) and HMS Hindustan. The designer department store Liberty first opened its doors in 1875. Regardless of where you end up buying your London souvenirs from, there are a couple of department stores that you simply must visit and each of them is home to some wonderful gifts.
