London - shop full British style šŸ›ļøšŸ’·

Laura Dehelean
London is one of the greatest cities in the world and holds in so many wondersā€¦in plain sight or just hidden around. So shopping here could make for a great experience, not to be missed out on & should benefit from a guideline like this to make it easier for everyone! šŸ˜ There are so many famous brands (Burberry, Vivienne Westwood, etc.), artists (the Beatles, Queen, Spice Girls etc.), movie/book characters (Sherlock Holmes, the Paddington Bear, Mr. Bean, Harry Potter, etc.) - and less known ones - originating from this country and particulary from London, that one could take home a full bag of souvenirs. ā—ļøMind the quality and the prices, though, ā€˜cuz this is not the cheapest city to shop aroundā—ļø Highlights: šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§ The Union Jack or Union Flag, is the de facto national flag of the United Kingdom. The flag consists of three heraldic crosses. Brits do take pride in this flag and youā€™ll see it depicted around quite often (on various items that make for great souvenirs).

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Laura Dehelean
Hi! šŸ¤— Iā€™m Laura - born and grown nearby the Romanian coasts of the Black Sea, in Constanta (a city with great history which I invite you all to visit and enjoy). This city and its surroundings, with beautiful, wide beaches have always drawn lots of tourists, thusā€¦ I have been working in the hospitality industry for quite a while now. Of course, I enjoy more being a tourist myself šŸ˜(or perhapsā€¦should I say ā€œa travelerā€?). In the past few years I have travelled across Europe (and most of its capitals and big cities) and found out many special places which I longed to share with others (it would have been a pity not being able to do so nowadays). So, thanks to Thatch I can provide some lists to help me and my friends out along our journeys - and, hopefully, other Thatchers as well. P.S.1 I am always open to suggestions or feedback on how to improve the info that Iā€™m sharing. P.S.2 I am passionate about my shopping, therefore all my guides shall always include shopping venues that mainly sell authentic brands - bespoke souvenirs are what we want to take home with us, right? P.S.3 My guides shall always include many venues/places because I like options. Personally, I wouldnā€™t cross half a city just to get to a specific restaurantā€¦after a long day, in particular, I would rather find a good spot close to the hotel that Iā€™m staying at (or somewhere in that area). Moreover, different trips in the same city could target a totally different area and wouldnā€™t it be nice to explore its best by knowing all the variety of services/products available around?
