Tis’ the season to be jolly! The festive season is upon us, and we know how overwhelming it can be when thinking about where to shop to buy gifts for loved ones. For those visiting or residing in London this Christmas, we’ve got a list of top shops to visit for authentic Scandi gifts and goodies. We’ve sorted the shops into a shop-till-you-drop style day, not forgetting the occasional Fika and snack stop!
Start position:
1) Totally Swedish – 32 Crawford St, W1H 1LS.
We start in Marylebone; there are an abundance of Scandinavian outlets and eateries if you know where to look! Totally Swedish is the first stop, combining the love of all things Scandi.

2) Skandium – 86 Marylebone High St, W1U 4QS.
Next stop is super Scandi furniture and home store; Skandium. If you’re looking to really treat you (and your home) this Christmas, then you’ll be spoilt for choice here! Their Christmas stock is in, and we love the variety of Nordic hanging decorations and stocking fillers that make great gifts for family and friends!
3) Nordic Bakery – 37B New Cavendish St, W1G 8JR. – Morning Fika!
It’s never too early or too late for a coffee and pastry. Nordic Bakery is the ideal Fika stop for Scandi shoppers, and on the menu for Christmas are traditional Swedish Glogg (mulled wine) and ginger pepparkakor biscuits!

Anyone who gets a gift from Georg Jensen will surely be spoilt rotten this Christmas!
