London Shopping Tips by clivedinburgh

Name of Shop: Lillywhites

This is the main sports shop in London and has been open since 1863. There are the chain stores such as JJB but this place always seems to have the items you are after. I recently picked up a tiny Spurs strip for a mates daughter.

Typical - you leave your window open because its hot then a quick downpour dumps a load of water onto your Nikon camera, after drying it out it seemed the only thing wrong was the battery. Great - it had to happen before I take a trip to London to see the sights. Spent the 1st day using my Siemens phone camera with mixed results so the next day I set off in search of a new battery.

I was trying to think of where to go when I remembered pointing someone towards Tottenham Court Road in the London forum a while back. First shop I go in and I get a battery straight away, had enough charge to get a few decent pics and cost a lot less than the high st chains would have charged.
