British Souvenirs

  Bulbs or Seeds: Columbia Road Flower Market is one of my favourite weekend markets, head there on a Sunday and explore the beautiful plants and flowers. Just to get into a bit of history, the market has been there since the 19th century. You most likely don't want to take a plant home with you, so bulbs or seeds are best. When people ask you where your amazing plant is from, you have a story to tell! Check that your country allows you to bring plant items, as some countries like Australia will confiscate them. Even if you don't pick up a token gift at Columbia Flower Road Market, it's a fabulous Sunday. It is the prettiest of all the London Sunday Markets and is always listed as an alternative thing to do in London. Below is a brief snippet of the market.

The palace itself, the guards, and even the afternoon tea at Buckingham Palace are all up for grabs now in the form of cute little things, like Christmas decorations, hanging clips, or teabag sets.    Sweets:  Britain's foothold in chocolate has a name, and the name is Cadbury. These British-made dairy milk chocolate bars and candies have been popular around the world for decades. However, recently, Cadbury's best-selling dominance in the UK has been challenged by a rival chocolate brand, Maltesers. How long, time will tell.

  Notting Hill Shopping Bag: Since the romantic comedy film "Notting Hill" starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, Notting Hill has become the place of worship to live, shop and eat. The film featured the Notting Hill travel bookstore, among other local scenes, which are now immortalized in a series of trendsetting Notting Hill shopping bags. The idea caught the attention of the global Lookbook style network, which has created practical shopping bags. Since then they have become essential items. The bags appear in a variety of designs drawn by local school children. A particular favourite is this bright pink and yellow cupcake design by Natalie Imbruglia featuring "Cupcakes in Notting Hill" in feminine pink lettering. Durable and sustainable shopping bags are made from 100% cotton, which is sourced ethically.
