London - Shopping - Food & Drink - Sweets & Chocolates
As a walk down memory lane, it's priceless. But if you weren't actually born in England and are under 30, you might find it, as I did, to be a little bit naff. Giant jars of sweeties adorn a little toilet-cubicle sized shop. It has a lot of the old boiled sweets and blasts form the past like flying saucers filled with sherbet. But not really my type of sweets, but do love the painfully quaint everything about it, right down to quaint little Mrs Kibble (if that's even her real name). And would hate to see specialty stores such as this disappear. So although it's not my bag, 4 stars for great effort.
One pretty cool thing is a shelf selling novelty sweet things like an edible monopoly game and chocolate turds and such. But unlikely to find naughty things like jelly willies etc.
