The 10 Coolest London Souvenirs You’ll Actually Want to Keep (P.S. No plastic keychains here.)
Whether it’s your first time strolling along the South Bank or you know exactly where to find the best curry on Brick Lane, London has a way of sticking with you. So why not bring a little of it home — minus the jet lag?
We rounded up ten of the coolest, most design-worthy souvenirs to commemorate your London adventures. No kitsch. Just keepsakes worth showing off.
1. Jet Set Candy LHR Luggage Tag Charm
A proper London souvenir with just the right amount of jet-setter style. This meticulously detailed charm features classic airline tag vibes — with “LHR” and “Heathrow” etched into sterling silver or gold vermeil. Inspired by vintage luggage labels, it’s basically proof you made the trip.

8. Smythson London Travel Journal
Nothing says “sophisticated traveler” like a leather-bound Smythson. Their London City Journal has luxe featherweight paper and smart gold embossing. A brilliant excuse to jot down your pub crawl highlights.

9. House of Hackney Velvet Cushion
If maximalist British interiors are your thing, House of Hackney is your mecca. Their richly printed cushions scream East London cool and make the perfect design-forward souvenir.

10. Fortnum & Mason Tea Trio
The souvenir equivalent of a royal seal of approval. Choose from Earl Grey, Royal Blend, or a cheeky Smoky Earl Grey for a posh tea experience back home.

Final Boarding Call: Souvenirs don’t have to be cheesy. From luxe leather goods to edible art to collectible charms, these London mementos are as iconic as the city itself — and a lot easier to pack than a full English breakfast.
