I like getting reusable bags from local grocery stores. They are inexpensive, easy to take back home, and will stand out from everyone else's bags at the store. A great variety of nice-looking bags are available at places like Sainsbury's, Waitrose, and M & S.

My favourite things to bring home after a trip to London are the teas or hot chocolates from Whittard. Compared to other places they are pretty affordable, they have SO many goodies to choose from (the Toffee Hot Chocolate is AMAZING). And so many of them come in the cutest reusable tins.

there is a couple all over London! my favourite might be the ones close to Tottenham Court Rd (such lovely people working that store) or the Strand/Charing Cross one. There is definitely one more at Covent Garden (I don't think I have ever been to that one), Buckingham Palace Rd (also lovely) and one at Piccadilly Circus (usually a little busy) @@TRENDYSAKSHI

Loved this channel! Hi from Brazil! Subscribed

I’m so excited for my holiday in London, I’ve always wanted to go to London just two and a half months to go.

My favorite souvenir I brought back with me was a Tube Map poster with the station names changed to reflect famous movies, actors and Directors associated with the area near the station. It's framed and hanging in our movie room. Edit to add we bought it at the Transport Museum in Covent Garden.

Great selection Jess, cheers

This video is pretty much everywhere we go in London for gifts and souvenirs. Especially Fortnum & Mason and Bricklane. Good job!

Earlier this year I spent 3 weeks in London seeing _all_ the sites, one place I know I'll visit again is a fantastic shop 2 doors down from the Sherlock Holmes Museum that is filled to the ceiling with band-themed goodies (Stones, Beatles, Floyd, so on). I picked up a stack of Abbey Road Studios mouse pads (Abbey Road Reel) for ONE Pound each. They were the only gifts I brought back for friends & family and everyone loved them. Aside from the deal, the shop owner is character and it was probably the best 5 minutes of conversation I had with a local on the whole trip. Jess, I don't know if you've mentioned this before but.. I sure could have used a bottle opener on the trip. If you pick up one seemingly silly gift, make sure it can open a bottle of ale/cider from the Sains Local - the skin on your fingers will thank you. London is endlessly amazing.

I love the Transport Museum’s shop! They also have very reasonable international shipping.

Glad I was right in choosing my souvenirs. I bought tea and biscuits at Whittard, some knick knacks from Portobello road, and books. I had to buy some shirts for my family but I made sure that it was made in Uk. 😅

As a londoner living in Germany who has occasional bouts of homesickness I always stock up with food and drink when I come over! Tea, biscuits, marmalade, Marmite (!) etc. Unfortunately since Brexit some things are not so easy anymore to take home.

I love Fortnum and Mason! I have given things from there as gifts to friends and family several times. When I was there in London I went to the main store on Picadilly Street, the one in St. Pancras Station, and the small one at Heathrow when I was departing. If I could afford it I would buy more stuff from them lol. I would visit the store a lot if I lived in London. I found a store in my city in my country that imports a lot of F&M products for Christmas so I've been able to get some stuff here instead of having to order it from London.

Borough Market has an incredible spice shop where we found some fantastic finds that are hard to come by back home in the US.
