    The 11 Best Crystal Shops in London for Spiritual Souvenirs

    March 10, 2023 /

    They might not be for everyone, but for those of us who believe crystals have their own special vibration know that there are few souvenirs more meaningful than a specially chosen one from a memorable trip. I've brought home crystal souvenirs from places like Sedona and Mount Shasta, California, where the energies are known to be particularly powerful... but London is also a special place for me – and it might be for you too...

    Are you keen to have amazing photos from your trip to London? You're not alone. Photos are my favorite souvenir; I shoot literally hundreds (if not a thousand+) photos during every trip I take to London... but I don't often get great photos of myself – much less ones with my husband...

    Is there anything better than pushing aside the hangers, spotting a label, and knowing you found a great deal – at a steal? For some people, thrift shopping is the best way to reduce your carbon foot print; for others, it's the thrill of the hunt – and the chance of finding a gem – that inspires a trip to the second-hand store...

    While there are a number of drinks you might associate with London and the Brits who inhabit this lovely city, most people think of one in particular right off the top of their heads: tea. The British are known for it, though its origins date back to Colonial India and Britain's occupation of the subcontinent. Today, people think less of tea as an Indian drink (though it is definitely consumed there in many forms and styles) and more of a British one...

    'Tis the season! It's time for festive decorations, holiday parties at the pub, and trimming your tree – should that be the holiday you celebrate. If you're anything like me, you have a collection of ornaments from a lifetime of travel and adventure... but do you have any London ornaments to hang on the boughs of your Christmas tree?...

    When it comes time to pack your bags for London, don't forget one important thing: you need to leave room for souvenirs! No matter how many times I've visited, I always bring home some souvenirs from London. Sometimes they're small, other times I've saved up and invested, and still other times they're a giant pile of British candies and cookies that make the folks at airport security give me a funny look...

    Over the last few years, one of the things that has made me the most sad is being unable to visit my favorite city on earth: London. We all know why international travel wasn't really a thing between 2020 and 2022, but it doesn't change the fact that it sucked to not be able to explore the streets, pop into the pubs for a pint, and discover new parts of a place I love so much that I started a whole website to encourage others to visit too...

    London, like all great cities of the world, has a very distinct smell. And that smell changes depending on where you are in the city: riding the Piccadilly Line in from Heathrow smells very different than Brick Lane in the East End than from Columbia Flower Market on a bright summer morning.
