There are literally thousands of shops in London that stock umbrella's, you
can get fairly cheap ones in Woolworth's or dearer ones in Boot's (a very popular drug store with branches everywhere). But don't take one to Scotland with you, the strong winds destroy them fairly quickly. Or why not buy a raincoat with a hood, an anorak or cagoule or perhaps even one of those very thin plastic raincoats that fold up very small ? |

Wait and buy one there. Sooner or later you'll find yourself in Bergen, Norway. Wait until then, and you'll be able to buy your umbrealla from a vending machine. Bjorn |

It's a shop I've always wanted to visit but never have, so maybe you can go there and post a trip report? |

The one I bought in the USA at Sharper Image has lasted me a longg time When I was in London I bought a Fulton folding umbrella at http://www.james-smith.co.uk/. It is aluminum and fiberglass, making it very lightweight. I bought the three-stage one, which is 24cm closed. There is also a four-stage one (Microlite, 18.5cm closed), but I felt those will have more structural problems down the road. Fulton Umbrellas are not sold in the US. They probably have their umbrellas at http://www.fultonumbrellas.com/, but I have ActiveX turned off and the site comes up blank. Don donwiss at panix.com. |

Following up to Ken Wheatley
There's an very old umbrella maker's shop called, I think, James White, at the junction of Gower Street and New Oxford Street. It's a shop I've always wanted to visit but never have, so maybe you can go there and post a trip report? bought my father in law a shooting stick there, they were as you would expect. old worlde charm and a wide choice, its not the cheapest but just make it part of your London experience. -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso UK walking "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Spain,cuisines and walking "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |
