At the moment Tate Modern have a special pop-up shop curated by the Guerilla Girls an anonymous group of feminist, female artists devoted to fighting sexism and racism within the art world. Also the BAPE store in Conduit Street have an exclusive London collection my favourites are the cute pins at about £9 and the cool T-shirts if you can afford them.
Superb, can't wait to go to London again 🙂
There's one place, you've never mentioned in all your Vlogs. That is London Zoo.
Can you pls do a halal food tour? (If you dont know what that is, it is no pork and no alcohol so no alcohol or pork products)
Wonderful London Souvenirs there in London & of course if you don't live in London then there's another choice to go is Amazon where they have so many London Souvenirs to choose from Key chains, T-Shirts, Hoodies, & others too! I've brought some London T-shirts, Beanie London Hat for the winter & London Hoodie as well! 🥰❤🏴ɢʙ
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.
Asked my mum what she wanted brought back to Australia and all she said was a Harrods shopping bag 😂
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.
we picked up gifts from the London Museum, Tower Museum, Windsor Castle, and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The London Transport Museum is on our hitlist the next time we're in London.
How about things for kids?
I got some great cheese and jam at Borough Market that I was able to bring back.
I love the Transport Museum’s shop! They also have very reasonable international shipping.
I love to bring some stuff back home to New York City from London to buy for my family
I read The Five last year, and it is so well done.
I just love your channel. I have so enjoyed watching your vidoes. We leave in two days. Thanks for your fun short videos. Its been so helpful in my plannjng. Beinging my 17 son on our trip of a lifetime together ❤️ 💙 💕
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. 😅
Love your channel. Planning a trip in 2024 with my best friend. Will definitely use some of your various tips from your videos! Thanks!
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.
All great ideas, thanks!
Borough Market has an incredible spice shop where we found some fantastic finds that are hard to come by back home in the US. There’s a tea shop in Camden that sells a wide selection of Chinese teas called Mei Leaf. City of London Distillery is also a great place to visit for amazing gin to enjoy in house and take home as gifts.
Another brilliant video from jess a kind american lady who gives us all advice to be safe on London always show us London what it has always a blessed utuber always
Great recommendations ❤❤
After Brexit, I'm travelling to London with an empty suitcase so that I can bring back enough F&M tea, biscuits and all other stuff that cannot be easily ordered to EU anymore.
We get TWG teas and balsamic vinegar at Burrough market. I need to get some coffee next time.
This year, I was the first time in my life in London and I really loved it. Thank you so much for all the good advice in your videos! I can't wait to go back to London one day. For souvenirs, I really enjoyed the Paddington Bear gift shop at paddington station🤩For children and adults who are young at heart😉
I love my Lee jeans which are from Atika.
Cool tour, would be nice to see the actual prices, affordable can mean different price for different people. Good luck!
I don’t think twice, my souvenirs are from museum shops: V&A my number one, shop at the National Gallery , Tate Museum, British Museum, Royal Opera House (so special)
Everyone here is jealous of my apron from Fortnum & Mason 😁😁
Great video as always. Lovely
Great suggestions for London which can be universally applied to many cities.
Maybe you should go on the road with this! 😁
My wife and I could spend all day at Fortnum & Mason and Hatchards.
Haha the guy giving the review. On my way to get my Love and London umbrella! 🌂😂
Wonderfulk🎊terrific🎆amazing🎇 vidro…please, go on🧨 don't stop
💕✈️
Thank you Jess for these amazing tips! I'm coming to London very soon and this helps me at the perfect timing.
I know you don't talk about fashion, but I'd love to know where you got your cream coat from because you look stunning in it 😄!
How did you connect with @actionkid?
Love this! I will be visiting London after a lot of years and after moving in Japan, and I will not have a lot of time to look for cool shops! I will definitely will go in the print one. Hope you will do others of this souvenirs/shops videos ❤
Always love these types of videos, thanks so much!
Hello, next year in may im going to slam Dunk Festival an emo concert with funeral for a friend, mom jeans, asking Alexandria, all American rejects , ect. The first show will be in London and the second show will be by manchester so you actually make me want to visit everything in london. But I'm going to be in London for a while and then I'll be in Manchester
The Antique Paper Company is acutally in Camden Passage in Islington, not in Camden Market
I feel so lucky that we have Jess and her beautiful London videos. Thanks to the moment she decided to make these videos about London!
What a woman
