We visited Lambert on our holiday to London, it had good prices and friendly service so we picked…read moreup a few fun trinkets. However after paying, one of us checked the receipt and the full Visa card number and expiry date were printed on the receipt! This seemed sketchy as every other receipt always had the first numbers starred out. In calling the bank they agreed this was fishy and cancelled the card as a precaution. Just something to watch out for when shopping!

They had a wide range of souvenirs that I was interested in taking home, specifically sweatshirts/hoodies/t-shirts and mugs. I ran into a lot more souvenir shops in the more touristy areas of London, but they looked a bit sketchy.

I got most of my souvenirs from this enormous, two-story gift shop. Prices for most items were…read morecomparable to the various souvenir stands and stores scattered across London but their variety is hard to match! They have a good selection of hats (caps, Berets, wide brims, bowlers), T-shirts, hoodies, and stuffed animals among things. Their basement also sells roller luggage. Another funny thing I saw was they had a security guard downstairs, but originally I thought he was a cardboard cutout from a distance since he was standing motionless next to a poster of someone wearing the exact same uniform. I had to do a double take but thought it was a cool trick to blend into the surroundings like that. I bought about $50£ worth of stuff - would make good souvenirs or random last-minute Christmas gifts. I couldn't find any cute stuffed English Bulldogs, so I hope my wife likes the Hello Kitty wearing Union Jack I picked.

SOUVENIRS! CHEAP ONES!…read more Forget buying the marked up stuff at the Beatles Store on Baker Street or the overpriced kiosks on Regent Street. Here's the spot for everything you need to bring back to the kiddies! Tshirts. Sweaters (jumpers). Hoodies. Mugs. Decals (stickers). Tiles. Posters. Name tags. Fridge magnets. Pens. Pot holders. You name it, they have it here. The selection is MASSIVE. And not just Union Flags. They have Beatles and Monty Python and even Paddington Bear stuff! It's not cheap, but it is certainly inexpensive. There's a helpful entrance from the Piccadilly Circus Tube so you don't have to go outside in the (what, again?) rain.

I enjoyed a quiche. My daughters enjoyed strawberries topped with Nutella. We all shared a fish and chips meal from Poppie's which I highly recommend. Probably the best fish and chips we had while in London. There are olive bars and paella and all sorts of amazing foods to enjoy. Also pick up a Notting Hill bookstore linen tote while you are there.

Visited on a Friday afternoon and barely waited in line! When we got there we saw there were about…read more15 people in line, but it took less than 10 minutes for us to get inside! I really appreciated that they had the line because it actually allowed for you to take your time and browse without being trampled! The store of course had the beautiful, classic Harry Potter decor, a reason to visit in itself. We specifically went because they had exclusive merchandise that you can't even find at the studio tour! I personally got the 9 3/4 mug, pen, and tote as I thought they'd be great souvenirs. I also noticed that they had more selections in items like pjs, magnets, and journals than some of the other popular Harry Potter shops. All in all, it's a must visit if you're a fan of Harry Potter. If you want a photo with the wall where it says Platform 9 3/4, be ready for a hefty wait time, unless you're there early in the morning. We personally didn't really feel the need to, but the line had only gotten bigger by the time we came out of the shop.

So I really came here to take the photo at the Platform but since there was a long line, I opted on…read morethe store for a more immersive experience. First off, if you are a Harry Potter fan, I highly recommend walking in because there is so much to see, buy, and capture on your phone/camera. You do have to go through a line while in the shop but you can easily browse the store while walking through. There are scenes from the movie that will take your breath away and have you geeking out. Staff was very friendly and it was very well organized. Our cashier knew it was my first visit and made sure I bought the limited items that can only be purchased there. Prices are great, too, so n worries on that and the merch is truly one of a kind. I would love to come back for sure especially for the photo op. They have props too which seemed like a lot of fun.

Great shop full of souvenirs with decent prices. Bought a few things for friends at home, like…read morescarves and tins of shortbread. I thought the prices were comparable with what I've seen at other places and the quality superior. For the history of the place, it used to be the stables for the castle and the horses used to take a dip in the river. Then the menagerie was moved to Regent Park and later it became the zoo. Or so said the helpful check out person on the second floor. I would definitely recommend.

I can't wait to drop back in to collect more darling tins, foreign candies and souveneirs for home.

All of the standard favorites: humbugs, sherbet dips, chocolate-covered everything, fruit-shaped everything...you get the idea. But imagine my absolute surprise when I spied a shelf stocked with American candy, cereals, and snacks...including my favorite: Cheetos. Not even 48 hour prior, I was telling my husband that I would go to obscene lengths to have a bag of Cheetos, so strong was my craving for the vile snack food. Little did I know that all I needed to do was go to Oxford and visit Hardy's. Sorted! Now excuse me while I go wash the orange from my fingers...
