  • Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Don't forget it can still get quite chilly in the summer - bring a jumper and something waterproof for the infamous London drizzle.

    Toiletries & Medical Supplies: In Blairs rip-off Britain many over-the-counter medicines are stupidly expensive. Stuff like Imodium (squit relief tablets) are several pounds in the U.K but pennies elsewhere.

    Photo Equipment: Black and white film is difficult to find these days.

    Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Camping equipment is only needed for so-ho, pink shirts, studed leather jackets, berets etc.....

    Miscellaneous: In general it would seems rather pointless recommending anything for London, as in london you can buy just about anything that is on sale somewhere in the world.

    The range of restaurants is also astounding - I believe it is true that every country on earth is represented by a restaurant somewhere in London.

    On the other hand certain things like clothes and CD's are much more expensive than in the US or most parts of Europe - don't come expecting bargains.

    Ciggarettes are also very heavily taxed in the UK - stock up before you come.

     You are quite right, the London Pass has to be used all day every day to get good value from it, although I kept mine as a souvenir¬
