| Have a blast there, its a great city I've gone the past two January's and want to go in warmer months. Anyway I'd suggest getting something to do with the Royals perhaps. Go to the Tower of London as it's a really cool sight to see but they also sell a lot of awesome things. Take lots of pictures which would be nice too. Also you can go to Harrods, maybe something unique there would be good as Harrods is a really cool place and well known. You could also bring home Cadbury chocolate as it's amazing, so much better than Hershey's. Have a blast on your trip!!! |

| Burberry scarves and/or ties. They have stores on Regent Street and Haymarket. Wedgewood items (plates, cups, jewelry boxes-- small ones) are great too. British stamps (in presentation packs) are great souvenirs for stamp collectors. Look around the museum shop at the British Museum for cool items (some items not made in the UK, however). Wool sweaters made in the UK are cherished items. Lessiter's chocolates are made in Britain and are wonderful (and not avail in the US). Thornton's chocolates are also worth a look. Lots of choices as you can see. Have a great trip! |

| You can try the street markets at Camden and at Covent Garden. They have a lot of unique clothing and jewelry. Camden is a little more "hippy style" and Covent Garden is more "artsy". Both are fun! Also you can look for British made products, though most will be from the countryside, not from London. They are available in London--wool blankets from Scotland or Wales, china from England. Hope you have fun. |
