Sari shopping in London

Hello all. I am headed back to Europe in just a few days. My first stop is London and it occurred to me that it would be a great place to shop for a sari and other Indian goodies. Any suggestions on where to start looking? <BR> <BR>Many thanks! -- K

<BR>What a good idea: I hope I'm in time. My first thought is Brick Lane, just north of Aldgate East tube station. My second is Southall, in west London, reachable by frequent train from Paddington main line station. Both places are good for saris and for other south Adsian goods. <BR> <BR>Welcome to multicultural London. Please write if I can help further <BR> <BR>Ben Haines <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>

Kate, <BR>There are many many Indian shops and markets in Wembley. I saw lots with saris when I was window shopping. Have fun!

Covent Gardens has antiques on Mondays, and I have seen many Indian artifacts there on that particular day. I don't remember saris in particular, but I was looking at old cigarette cards. I did not buy them and am very sorry. It will be a couple of years before I get back to London. If you see any, would you try to remember the dealer's name for me so that maybe I can contact him? I'm headed back to Paris and Rome this year, but I do love London.

So strange <BR> <BR>The column on the left said 2 responses yet I can see only the original posting. <BR> <BR>I am sure this is the answer you have already but Southall in London is where you need to head... Little India of England....
