Crest Of London

It seems there are many different souvenir shops that all seem to be identical, but are under different names. Cool Britannica, London Souvenirs, and Crest f London to name a few. I have found going into each shop you’ll find almost the same item in any other shop with ever more or less selection, but on occasions you’ll find some original items. For me that is boxer shorts. I found d a pair two years ago with the Flag of England or maybe the King George flag as it may be called. I have never found that style again. The same is with the UK Flag at this store. All the others have small British flags on the waist band except for the boxer shorts I found here. A solid color waist band which I prefer. And which seems petty, but important enough to check a few shops if you have the time.

Yes I know I’m not a tourist! However, when some friends of mine who were visiting from abroad wanted to buy some cheap, tacky souvenirs with the word ‘London’ on them, where do you take them? Even ‘we sell everything in the whole universe’ Tesco didn’t do any!
So, I had to resort to going to Crest right in the heart of touristy London. Perfect for this purpose and to be fair, not as expensive as I had feared, especially as this branch is right in the heart of the West End.
We’ve all been tourists and silently thank little shops like this when we’re on holiday! :-)
