Daily Constitutional editor Adam Scott-Goulding writes…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 by emailing the usual address, by leaving a comment below or via Twitter.
The Royal Arcade
LW's Ruth adds…If walkers want a touch of effortless elegance and charm, my recommendation would be a trip to The Royal Arcade in Mayfair. Even those with limited budgets can go window shopping there.
It is small but beautifully and perfectly formed and features on the Oscar Wilde walk I take, so remember to adorn your shopping bags with a green carnation or two if you come along.
Best wishes
