Thankfully, in London and across the British Isles, there\u2019s certainly no shortage of souvenirs to buy! To help seek out those standout items, we\u2019ve selected our pick of souvenirs from Britain that you can proudly display back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What souvenirs can you bring back from Britain, and where can you find them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fortnum &amp; Mason<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Harrods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Royal Collection Trust<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Locally-made Gin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spa Products from the Roman Baths<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Handmade Jewellery from Stonehenge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Illustrated Items<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to find the perfect souvenir in and around London!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fortnum &amp; Mason<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As one of London\u2019s most famous department stores, founded all the way back in 1707, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortnumandmason.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fortnum &amp; Mason<\/a> is a stop-off for many discerning souvenir hunters. This prestigious store has long focused on luxury groceries and is now home to the Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon. With this in mind, it seems fitting to add Fortnum &amp; Mason tea to your shopping list; sourced from around the world, these teas come in keepsake caddies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Harrods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This Knightsbridge department store is another of London\u2019s best-known, drawing people in with its impressive displays, high-end fashion and lavish food hall. Naturally, Harrods souvenirs abound too, from chic bags and scarves to mugs and Beefeater teddy bears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Royal Collection Trust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What could be more quintessentially British than a souvenir of the Royal Family? The Royal Collection Trust shop \u2013 found at the Historic Royal Palaces, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.royalcollectionshop.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online<\/a> \u2013 specialises in commemorative chinaware and jewellery that\u2019s been designed for Buckingham Palace, along with less lavish Royal-themed souvenirs and fine food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Locally-made Gin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Britain has a long-standing reputation for producing some of the world\u2019s finest gin, with a number of distilleries, both big brand and boutique, around London. For a story to take home with their souvenir, visitors can pick up a bottle following a tour of one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/top-gin-distilleries-in-london\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">capital\u2019s distilleries<\/a>, such as Sipsmith or Beefeater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spa products from the Roman Baths<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A highlight of many visitors\u2019 trips to Britain is the chance to stroll around the historic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.romanbaths.co.uk\/shop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roman Baths<\/a> in the idyllic Georgian hot spring town of southwest England. Being here also allows visitors to pick up gifts and souvenirs. And what hot spring town souvenir could be more appropriate than locally-made spa products?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Handmade jewellery from Stonehenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone who has the opportunity to walk around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.english-heritageshop.org.uk\/gift-ideas\/stonehenge-gifts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stonehenge<\/a> will likely want an item to remind them of their experience. And naturally, there are certainly plenty to choose from; everything from T-shirts and mugs to keyrings and snow globes has been given the Stonehenge treatment, but it\u2019s the handcrafted items that stand out the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Illustrated items<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having been favoured by esteemed brands such as Vogue and Chanel, illustrator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alicetait.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alice Tait<\/a> is creating quite a storm. Perhaps garnering the most attention is her illustrated map of London, which can be seen printed on a number of desirable items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to call into each gift shop while taking a tour of <a href=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/tours\/london-tours\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=best_souvenirs_britain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">London<\/a>\u2019s landmarks and historic sites or while exploring further afield, including day trips to <a href=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/tours\/day-tours-from-london\/stonehenge-and-bath\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=best_souvenirs_britain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bath and Stonehenge<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What typical souvenirs can you bring back from the UK, and where can you find them?
