Guests have often asked “Where does this delicious tea come
from?” and posed other similar product-related inquries during
their stay. So, to make your London shopping trip that bit more
simple, we’ve gathered together a quick list of the why’s,
where’s and how’s. Enjoy.
Molton
Brown Eucalyptus Bath Gel
Take that relaxing aroma back home with you. Available at
the Molton Brown concessions in Harrods and Harvey Nichols;
also at 190 Kings Road and the original shop at 58 South Molton
Street (between Oxford Street and Brook Street – stop
in before visiting the Handel Museum, or Claridges for cocktails
and jazz from 6:30pm.)
With 60% fruit, and made only from fresh,
not frozen raspberries, this has to be the best. Available
around the corner at Waitrose or Partridges, 2-5 Duke of Yorks
Square (Sloane Square) and Harrods grocery dept. on the lower
ground floor.
Supplier to the Prince of Wales, so why not
you? Available at the Penhaligons shop on the lower ground
floor of Harrods, or 20A Brook Street or 41 Wellington Street
(Covent Garden).
Our 100% finest cotton sheets and towelling come from
The White Company (Sloane Square, behind Peter Jones) and
Yves Delorme finest French linens at Harrods, Harvey Nichols
and their own shop at Duke of York Square (Sloane Square).
We serve tea from London’s oldest tea
merchant, Thomas Twining. Visit their original shop at 216
The Strand and have them serve you a perfect cup of tea, or
purchase Twinings teas at Waitrose and most shops.
Guests also enjoy herbal infusions from Fortnum & Mason,
suppliers to the Queen for just about everything edible. Their
Christmas tea is especially popular. Don’t miss their
fabulous window displays before entering the over 200-year
old building on Piccadilly, just across from the Royal Academy
of Arts. Their famous clock chimes on the hour and entertains
you with a jousting session of the old order.
Umbrellas, washing kits, travel-hairdryers and many other
little necessities are available at ultra-minimalist Japanese
chain, Muji. Several locations, including 118 King’s
Road, 187 Oxford Street and 185 Long Acre (Covent Garden). www.muji.co.uk

Our strong coffee is imported from Vienna and sometimes through
friends in Germany or Switzerland. Harrods has some feisty
beans, for a price, but try Germany’s latest import
to Wimbledon (across from the station), Tchibo.
Or order online; their other products are also great deals.
