I think Gawith, Hogarth & Co. and Sam Gawith both offer plug versions of flakes that we can't get here in the states. If you can spare the (considerable) expense and are so inclined, I'd also recommend enjoying some Cuban cigars.
I really enjoyed my time in England. Wonderful place. London, in particular, is just loaded with wonderful places to check out and experience.

If you like the SG & GH flakes you should look for the plug versions which are even better. However, given the high UK taxes you should check and compare the prices of UK retailers with vendors who still ship to US such as Synjeco as it could be more expensive buying in the UK.
