Shopping Tips for London

1. Layers

Even if the weather stays hot or cold all day, a day out exploring London means you’ll be exposed to all conditions. Hopping on and off the tube and navigating through the bustling streets can leave you all hot and bothered so be sure to wear some basic lightweight layers to remove as and when you need. Classic tees and vests with a lightweight denim or cotton shirt over the top are ideal and can be bought for great prices in places like Uniqlo or H&M.

2. Always have an umbrella and a pair of sunglasses

London weather tends to change its mind a lot, so always come prepared. These two items will be your best friends by the end of the trip. Almost every shop on the high street will be selling them, but for cheap and cheerful options head to Primark for fun and quirky styles. If you want to invest though, a London favorite is Burberry. It comes with a hefty price tag but you’ll look the part (and the umbrella won’t blow inside-out every five minutes!)

3. A Trench Coat

The ultimate style statement which never goes out of fashion, and it’s also waterproof; the trench jacket is a Londoner’s go-to. If you’re looking to invest in a good quality jacket, Burberry again is a firm favorite (and the brand’s signature style), however if you’re only planning on wearing it a few times, high street favorites such as Reiss or Zara are ideal for fashionable, low-cost options.
