Canada Shop, Covent Garden, London

This shop is, as Timinator says, four shops in one. This is a lovely shop and when nostalgia hits, it’s somewhere I can go and choose something specific I miss or just generally think about what I want to remind me of home and buy and nibble.

It is a great place to go if you’re an ex-pat or if you’re looking for something to celebrate Canada Day with. It’s perfect for the good stuff – real maple syrup, dill pickle chips or anything you might be missing. I wish they had more things at times to choose from but when covering 4 different countries there’s a limit to how much they can fit in the shop.

Remember to check at the back – there’s lots of stuff back there past the fridge :-)

You can get Ruffles crisps, various cereals, maple syrup, reese cups, and tons of little things you didn't know you missed until you saw them on the shelves.

I'm not canadian-born, I just lived there for 13 years. But I still find that the little Canada shop in Covent Garden has a little treat for me whenever I can drop by.

Most times though, I'll indulge in a bag of all dressed Ruffles... If you like spicy crisps and still haven't tried them, what are you waiting for??

Worth a visit despite the premium price tag on most things.

My kids and I found this by accident - we love Canada and they were so excited to find this shop, especially the Fudgee-Os! Just one question - any chance of getting in any Nesquik chocolate syrup? It's so much better than the powder us Brits have to put up with!

do they sell them canadian maple biscuits..cos they are delice..and do they sell fruit loops the american/canadian cereal

every time I have walked into this store i get all giddy inside and so happy to see things from home. Lets be honest, us Canadians are a rare breed in such a large city such as london, and since this world is catered to everyone else from all over the world its just so nice to walk into a familiar place and see such treasures as Oh Henry Bars, Reece Peanut Butter Cups, Sleeman Beer, Kraft Dinner, and Tim Hortons.

Yes, the stuff is bloody expensive, and it would be cheaper to get someone from home to actually buy you some stuff and send it over for you. But, if you are from my part of the world, and have been away from home for such a long period of time,then it is well worth it to pop in and pick up some familiar things we have grown up enjoying so very fondly.

I’m a Dill pickle fanatic! Thank goodness for this shop. There are no Dill’s like Bick’s.

They sell all manner of Canadian foodstuffs here. Crisps, chocolate, sweets, baking stores, bbq sauce, kraft dinner and cereals. It is expensive though so I only go here as a treat.

They do a postal service. Which is fab for those of us who cannot get into London that often!

There are somethings that they sell here that you can get in a UK supermarket for better prices so don’t get carried away.

If you want stuff from Canada, then it's perhaps not surprising that the Canada Shop in Covent Garden is the place to get it.

It's actually four shops in one: an Australia Shop, a New Zealand Shop, a South Africa Shop, and a Canada Shop all under one roof. You can find items from each country here.

If, for some reason, you can't live without your Bick's pickles, maple syrup, Crispy Crunch chocolate bars, Graham Wafers, Speed Stick antiperspirant, Canadian shot glasses, or Lay's ketchup chips, then stop by here. Don't convert to Canadian dollars - these are imported goods, after all.

I'm Canadian. Personally, I have little desire to buy those things that are unique to my homeland whilst I'm here. That desire grows, however, when I realise that they carry some beers that remind me of home: forget the Labatt's Blue and Molson Canadian, but bottles of Moosehead or the Sleeman's range (I saw Original Draught, Silver Creek Lager, and Honey Brown) are serious considerations for Canada Day celebrations.

I have a real soft spot for Canada and Canadian things. I think it must have been the film Canadian Bacon or maybe it was the mounty cop show Due South that triggered my affection….. Anyway, This little gem in Covent Garden is crammed full of tasty treats. The last time i came here i walked out with an armful of Molson, Mac and Cheese and Maple syrup! Friendly staff and a very easy to find.

This really is a London gem.

Come in and see us!

At first glance this is a store filled with books about Canada, hiking, and stuffed mounties teddy bears. But if you venture in, beyond the kitsch at the back there are shelves and shelves of north American food. And who doesn't want to buy fluff? (For those of you who are uninitiated, fluff is whipped up marshmallow sold in a jar, often used to make fluff and PB sandwiches.) There is real maple syrup, a variety of cereals and oatmeals, cake mixes, chips, beer, everything a north American stranded in London could need!

Of course, this is all imported goodies so its not cheap, especially when you consider the exchange rate and how much cheaper it would be to actually get this stuff in the States or Canada. But if you can't afford the ticket home soon, this store might save you from going crazy- because nothing cures homesickness like real double-stuff Oreos.
