Fossils London is an exquisite fossil shop within walking distance of the British Museum. One of my main reasons for visiting the UK is to visit and study some of the fossils collected my Mary Anning back in the 1800's. So I was excited to see this store, which carries a good selection of local fossils. Many of the other European fossils were Museum quality. I thought the prices were remarkably reasonable, especially for the local fossils. The fossils and minerals are displayed beautifully.
I didn't buy anything, but will probably go back. I'm just not sure that I can get a bear paw through customs!
The owner, Kate Coulter, is knowledgable and friendly and holds a geology degree.
