Harrods in Knightsbridge is definitely a unique shopping experience - exclusive range of products, amazing food hall but you will need very deep pockets to buy anything. Definitely worth a browse for a couple of hours though!

Head to historic Greenwich - shop in the great market, open mostly Wednesday through Sundays, where you can buy unique arts and crafts, antiques and collectibles as interesting souvenirs to bring home!

Hang out in Merton Abbey Mills market for a relaxing weekend in South London and have a look at the handmade goods, antiques, jewellery and crafts. In the old watermill they still have a working pottery.It's lovely to visit for unusual presents! There's even a little textile museum attached recording the site's history...

If you want the real London, go down to the famous Brick Lane market, in London's East End! There's a lively atmosphere where stores and all kinds of stalls sell second-hand goods amongst Indian and Bangladeshi restaurants and trendy bars. Sadly, it's only on Sundays!
