Most of the touristy shops have football stuff - scarves and t-shirts (most probably aren't 'official' though)

There is a "Soccer Scene" in Carnaby Street for all the football stuff.

There are loads of street stalls that they will see near these places that will sell football paraphanalia. Prob isn't worth making a specific journey to soccer scene unless they dont support one of the big, or london, teams.

Soccer Sports is the same company as Lillywhites, which can be found on Piccadilly Circus - very convenient for tourists! There's also a large novelty store two doors down, and you'll find a few bits and bobs in the Trocadero building across the road.


Use the street view of this to see where you're going.
