We've taken you to Paris and our hometown of New York, so let's hop the pond again and head to England. There's no better way to commemorate a trip to a special destination than with charms that capture its magic.

Grab Your Oyster Card
London, a sprawling, winding city, is famous for its transportation. Most commuters take the underground Tube (mind the gap!), but while you're visiting, there's nothing quite like a classic double-decker bus to enjoy the views while you bound from spot to spot. Our Double-Decker Bus Charm even opens to reveal rows of golden seats! It is easy to get lost in London, as the streets are not laid out in a classic grid like you find in New York or Chicago, but instead twist and wind to and fro. London was founded in 47 AD, and the city has slowly grown over time, resulting in a notoriously confusing layout. A map as vast and tricky as London can only be handled by a London cabbie, who will become your best friend when navigating the historic streets. It is said learning to be a London Cabbie is equivalent to earning a master's degree, and researchers have even found drivers to have larger hippocampi as a result of their vast knowledge of their city. Commemorate your no-doubt memorable taxi trips with our London Taxi Charm and keep the memories with you always.

See the Sights
We hope you're staying a while because there is too much to see in just a weekend. A trip to the West End for some theater, erm, sorry, theatre is undoubtedly worth your while. Some of England's most famous stars regularly perform on the iconic stages. The Drama Mask Charm will make the perfect gift for the thespian in your life. After posing with the wax figures at Madam Tussauds and seeing the pastel-hued houses in Nottingham Hill, head towards the Thames to catch a glimpse of the most famous London landmark - Big Ben. Naturally, you'll want a selfie in one of the few remaining iconic red phone booths. Since there aren't many left in the city, a gold London Phone Booth Charm is the perfect keepsake to take home. The London Eye will give you the best views of the city; on a clear day, you can see everything from Saint Paul's Cathedral to the Tate Museum and beyond.

We'll Never Be Royals
Love them or hate them, the British Royal Family is an integral part of London. You can't make the trip across the pond without heading to Buckingham Palace and seeing if you can be one of the lucky few to make a palace guard break a smile. Even if you can't (it's near impossible), our Kings Guard Charm will be the perfect addition to guard your charm collection from pesky tourists. If the royal jewels are more your style, then crown yourself monarch with the Gold Crown Charm, which is fit for a queen. More of a Princess Di? The Tiara Charm is right up your alley.

Don't Call it Soccer
Once you've finished watching the theater, strolling the museums, and bugging the King, might we suggest attending a football match? No, not that kind of football. What Americans call "soccer" is football, or "footie," in London. There are numerous teams to support, and the rivalries are fierce. Currently, no less than seventeen professional football teams call London home. You'll be spoiled with choices from Arsenal, Tottenham, and Chelsea to Fulham, West Ham United, and Crystal Palace. Take the Beautiful Game home with you in the form of our gold Soccer Ball Charm. Just don't get too caught up in the ruckus of fans, or we'll have to call a British Bobby on you.

Time for Tea
After a long day of sightseeing, it's time to pop into a cafe or posh hotel lobby for a spot of tea. Londoners take their tea very seriously, so mind your pinky fingers. Our Tea Kettle Charm and Teacup Charm are the perfect duo to commemorate a girls' trip to London, as they not only celebrate the vacation but also act as modern and unique friendship tokens. Don't forget the digestives! Teatime isn't complete without some biscuits, and our adorable Cookie Tray Charm is just the thing to complete your tea-themed charm curation.
