Gooseberry fool.

I love this story from the actor who played Mr. Bennet for A&E's Pride & Prejudice:

Yes, this! Not exactly season, but one of my favorite treats from childhood.

And definitely a cream tea at a good place. Mmmm...

Another vote for chocolate covered digestives. Even plan digestives are great. I also like millionaire bars, but I can make those myself. I love apple turnovers.

The grocery store chocolate in England is different than in the US. Cadbury mini eggs taste completely different - much better in the UK. Try a Crunchie.

Blackcurrent Ribena
Dolly candy
Scones and clotted cream
Magnum Ice Cream bars (yes, we have them here now but they don't taste the same as they do in the UK)

Thank you everyone for all your suggestions. I have a long list now! I better up my exercise before the trip

My favorite places for treats have been Germany and Czech Republic so I can't wait to see how England matches up.

These are manufactured for sale in the US. Not the same ingredients. More preservatives and artificial flavors here (because it sells better) Hmmmmpppfffhhh

Amelia Rope chocolate, they sell it in Liberty. The dark chocolate with honeycomb and sea salt is my favourite.

Not British but in London - Pierre Herme macarons. The best!
