Living in London Madrid

More than an English giftshop

"Living in London blends a British deli, tea room, and gift shop in Madrid, offering scones, teas, and countryside charm for a perfect English teatime."

Typical British gourmet products. That's the first thing that came to my mind when I heard about Living in London. But it is much more, on one hand there is the delicatessen shop but also a British goods store, specialized in gifts and decoration objects.

So, forget about all the British stereotypes, say goodbye to the Union Jack and embrace the sweet and delicate decoration of the English countryside. The decoration looks like a lovely country doll house, and all the details are carefully taken care of.

Jams, many kinds of English teas, cookies, sweets..., everything looks delicious and is not extremely expensive for being import products.

Perfect for breakfast or for an afternoon snack, the pastries and cakes are made on site, baked and presented with jam and clotted cream, following the true English style. My recommendations: their signature sandwiches and, of course, scones, the classic English teatime treat. Besides, they are very difficult to find in Madrid. They also have delivery service from their website.
