It's back! The annual London Christmas Shopping Guide from The Daily Constitutional!
This year I'll be including museum gift shops and markets for gift ideas.
As well as gifts I'll be pointing you toward local London shops for the best in Christmas food and drink. Where relevant, I'll list the London Walks tour that finishes near the shop in question.
As usual, you can drop me a line with your own tips or leave a comment below or tell us about a great London shop via Twitter.
No.1 Charity Christmas Cards at St Martin-in-the-Fields, St Paul's Covent Garden & St James's Piccadilly
DC Editor Adam writes…
I'll start this year's series with the basics: Christmas cards.
Cards For Good Causes raises money for more than 40 different charities – Age UK, MacMillan Cancer Support, the NSPCC and Save the Children among them.
Whether your taste is for the traditional nativity scene or if you believe that nothing says Christmas like a pug in a Santa hat, there's something here for you in a wide range of designs. This year there are two dozen different seasonal London scenes to choose from.
You can buy Cards for Good Causes at St Martin-in-the-Fields…
… at the end of the Inside Covent Garden walk. And at St James's Piccadilly…
…near the end of A Village in Piccadilly on Mondays, and at St Paul's Covent Garden…
… which we visit on Inside Covent Garden on Thursdays.For further Daily Constitutional reading on Christmas cards click HERE.
