If you like authentic English or Scottish tartan items like mufflers, flat caps, kilts and throws, and little heraldry items like your British family crest on mugs and coasters, etc. there is "Highland Store on Portobello Road near the British Museum. My first tartan mufflier lasted 30 years and would have lasted more, except I lost it. My family has been passing down a Harris Tweed coat that was purchased in 1935, and still looks great.

Seconded! I used to work in an office right next to Borough Market in the early 2000s. Lunchtimes were a fantastic adventure, just wandering around and sampling things before deciding what to eat.
