No need to travel to London. He's in LA.

PS You can also buy them here, but then of course you have to pay for postage:

When I lived in London I got a great one that was Tate themed for free when they were changing out the posters.

Not sure if we still have that somewhere…

This remains a solid answer. Fruit and nut are my favorite, but it's worth trying all of them.

I always ask for the big Marmite jars, Branston pickle, Cadbury Flakes.

Try the Tea House north of Covent Garden for tea selection and fun tea accessories.

Stilton cheese

Are you my long-lost twin? Exactly this list, down to shopping for Rhubarb Ginger jam in August, because you can't find it in March.

And I would add whiskey. There is a shop near Soho Square which gives generous samples before you buy anything. Need to pack it in your suitcase, though.

Lots of interesting gins you can buy at airport.

Go to the Liberty store!

I like cadburys chocolates, the UK version lists milk as the first ingredient so it’s not as sugary sweet as that made in the US. So much better.

And it’s so much fresher.

I also like the tins of Roses and Quality Street.

Licorice all sorts again, so fresh, unlike what you by here.

Walkers crisps. I like the salt and vinegar but there are so many fun flavors to try.

I personally think the UK has the best sweet and junk food on the planet.

Someone mentioned Jo Malone that sort of item is much cheaper here. My family stocks up on makeup, clothing and luxury brands when they visit here.

I like to visit the boots because you can get some really great OTC cold meds and such, much stronger and effective than you can buy here.

Also face creams are fairly inexpensive and decent quality can be found in the boots.

Lots of good suggestions here; I'll just add that my favorite museum shops are Tate Modern and V&A. And Buckingham Palace shop also has lots of fun stuff. If you know a corgi fan, you'll want to bring them back an ornament.
