  • 5. Souvenirs

    Although most of London's biggest museum's have free entry it's worth popping to the shops of the ones that still charge a fee if you're looking for souvenirs and gifts. The shops are free to enter...   more

  • 11. Petticoat Lane, Spitalfields and Brick Lane

    I was disappointed from Brick Lane market (pics 1-2-3) although we enjoyed the general area and the Flower Market (read separate tip). It is a typical Sunday market selling general goods that spreads...   more
  • 12. Selfridges

    While Harrods is often mentioned by tourists as the department store they most want to visit, I personally would recommend a trip to Selfridges above that any day. It is equally huge, almost as...   more
  • 13. Covent Garden / Jubilee Market

    Possibly my favourite non-food shop in the whole of London is the shop at the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden. Few things symbolise London as vividly than the London Transport (LT) system,...   more
  • 14. Books

    All the local libraries in Britain have a few shelves where they sell books that are no longer required. All types of books are available and i do not know the reason why such good books are no longer...   more
  • 15. Portobello Market / Notting Hill

    Last visit July 2012 For me, there's nothing better than spending a sunny warm weekend morning at a flea market in Europe. Portobello Road is one of the largest in Europe, their website says its the...   more

  • 18. Sports and games

  • 19. Personal accessories

    Part of the Columbia Rd Flower Market scene on Sundays, this small shop prepares and sells excellent fragrances, for the body and home. A little on the expensive side, but well worth a browse around...   more
  • 20. Home furnishings

    I have added this retail outlet onto my London page, even though it is more an 'off the beaten track' tip! It is a lovely store, and well worth the trip to Kingston-upon-Thames! An exquisite interior...   more
  • 21. Esoterica

    This is a small shop in the Camden Stables market, tucked away in a back corridor. The walls are painted red, the better to show off the sculptures. The prices are very good and mostly all the...   more
  • 22. Canary Wharf

    There are 200 shops in the Canary Wharf shopping centre - no Argos or Claire's Accessories and in the eating places no McDonalds - this is generally high class shopping in bright and modern arcade...   more
