The brand names, the house name and a pre-made bag of "every Harry Potter candy for 10£" Which is an amazing deal. If you like your quality sweets and want to explore the sweet side of the UK. That's your pit stop.

I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with not only how this place has survived over the years, but…read moreevolved into a full-blown sit-down café, complete with sweets and treats to compliment their strong Greek coffee. They even have the fanciest gift boxes you've ever seen outside of Fortnum & Mason. Despite once having been solely a chocolate shop, the interior gives off some posh vibes that invite you to stay awhile. Weather permitting, they also have outdoor seating for some ultimate people-watching. The coffee itself could use some improvement, but overall, it isn't terrible. They serve it with a side of chocolates, so you could chew on the sweet merchandise to cut through the bitterness of the overly-roasted java. Service isn't always the fastest if you're sitting down to eat or drink, but it's more of a "come in and stay awhile" kind of place, anyway. If you are coming in to stay a while, however, expect to pay a lot more than the price of your coffee. My £3.60 oat flat white somehow turned into £6.36 when I got my bill. Considering everything you're getting in one stop, as well as the touristy area it's in, however, you could do worse. They even have a washroom, which - if you're familiar with this part of town - can be a Godsend.

And I haven't even got to the sweets yet!…read more This shop is listed 3 times on Yelp: Mrs Kibble's Olde Sweet Shoppe Mrs Kibble's Olde Sweet Shop Mrs Kibbles Olde Sweet Shoppe Having carefully studied the shop itself and referring back to my lessons on grammar, I've decided to review under this listing! Hooray Monica R - we agree on the spelling! Well, you can imagine this shop right at the end of the Willy Wonka factory tour. Rows upon rows of clear jars containing old style sweets. The assistants are happy to advise and offer little tastings. Your choice of goodies are packaged in retro style paper bags to take away and share. Whether you're looking for some nostalgia about the sweets you grew up with or to discover some new taste sensation, Mrs Kibble's is definitely worth a visit.

I like this place for its varied English style candies at a decent price…read more Both pre-packaged and also sold by weight. I had a small piece of Turkish delight, which I haven't had in years. Very fresh and tasty. I also picked up a nice hard-shell, soft center courrant candy package for about $5 pounds. Nice place to pick out some gifts. Very friendly and helpful service.

After seeing the Royal Muse we stumbled across this place. It's located across the street from the…read moreRoyal Muse entrance. We bought bon bons (toffee, watermelon, black current), roasted almond taffy, and butter toffee. We tested some black licorice candy from Northern England called something Navy and it didn't taste good at all. The staff was friendly and allowed us to try some candies before buying. I don't know how their pricing compares to other candy stores but I would recommend this place because they have a wide variety of candies and you get to taste test. This place does accept credit cards. Mon - Sat: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm Sun: 11:00 am - 5:00 pm https://www.facebook.com/CharliesSweetsBPR/page_map

A mishmash of British themed trinkets…read more Want to buy a plastic Big Ben? Well, it's available in many sizes and colours. Under one roof you can have a Big Ben replica, a plate with the queen portrait, Union Jack everything, Mr. Bean (and teddy) dolls. But, the markup is high. I looked some Harry Potter candy and they were double the price compared to an Hardy's candy store. If you are in a hurry, go. But if you have more time, shop around.

Ran by two lovely…read moreSwedish ladies who have a passion for the sweeter things in life and just want to share this with the world. When you enter you are dazzled by the bright white lights and walls and of course the wonderfully coloured sweeties and chocolates EVERYWHERE! It really is what sweet dreams are made of and this shop would totally fit in at Willy Wonka's chocolate factory! I would highly recommend spending a good 15/20 minutes here so that you have enough time to route for those truly weird and wonderful treats like the liquorice frogs, salted caramel chews and plopps! They also had some great chocolate and sweet sets - perfect for valentines/Christmas/Easter, basically any celebration or, a treat for yourself! It truly is a wonderful place and whether you're 8 or 80 you will love it!

Tip: You must visit this food hall. It's awesome!…read more You know what? When there's a listing for a department store food hall, you know that it's good. No, not good. Fantastic! I was at this food hall in December 2013. It's located on the ground floor of this large department store. The displays are extremely fancy and captivating. I recall seeing mini cakes that looked yummy. Even the fruit in the display case, as in apples, pears, and more, looked amazing and in pristine condition. The pastries looked scrumptious. I could smell the croissants! You can get sandwiches, from egg salad to lobster rolls. Feel like steak and chips? Yep, you can get them here, too. I frankly couldn't tell you what you can't get here. I felt like a dream seeing so much good food, but it wasn't. It's definitely worth a visit, whether you end up browsing like me because the prices were steep or you end up splurging. There was a wine section that had shiny bottles of fancy wine varieties. You could get cheese to complement your wine. Everything in this store looked beautiful and elegant. I would do a few things differently when I return to this food hall: - I'd do afternoon tea. I'd actually splurge to experience tea here because I didn't realize that I could until after my Harrods visit. - I'd find a hotel room with a fridge, so I could bring back pastries, macarons, sandwiches, and more. - I'd dine here to experience the entire food hall experience instead of dining at a restaurant within Harrods. The more I reminisce about where I've been in London, I want to return! (55)

On our last full day in London, we went to the Harrods Food Hall for lunch. The food hall sells…read moreall sorts of quality wares -- meats and cheeses, fresh produce, baked goods, wine, etc. You can also purchase meals to go and deli items, and we each bought a baguette sandwich and a bottle of water. Normally I wouldn't buy bottled water, but I couldn't resist -- this water was so pretty and looked so refreshing, with pieces of fruit in it. (We bought one with cucumber and one with bright pink dragon fruit.) For two sandwiches and two bottles of water, it came to £28.50. Not particularly inexpensive with the currency conversion (ouch!) but much cheaper than going out for lunch. Also, the sandwiches were delicious! It's a shame that we couldn't find the food hall when we had first visited Harrods two days prior. [Yelp collections: Europe 2024; London, England]

When I was younger and lived in the UK I absolutely loved Bon Bon's, especially the lemon ones…read more Now I didn't just like any Bon Bon's I enjoyed the traditional ones, none of the imitation brands. The last decade when going back I've never found good ones in a pick n mix or in the bags at the grocery stores, I was only able to find cheaper versions and then I stumbled across Hardy's in London! Wow they have the most delicious Bon Bon's in every flavor you can possibly think of! I needed them to last a while so I bought a pre mixed bag for around 3 pound that had toffee, apple, blue berry, vimto, lemon, strawberry...you name the flavor and they had it! The other cool thing about this shop for UK residents is that they have all the "American" candy along with Flips pretzels, peanut butter, marshmallow fluff and other goodies. To me I obviously have this stuff everyday but my local friend was just as excited about the American candy and treats as I was with the bon bon's, we definitely walked out with a sugar high!
