shopping
 
I know there is amazing shopping opportunities in London. Can anyone tell me where they best place for the touristy souveniors would be? Inexpensive but not the cheapy cheap.

fun tshirts, shot glasses. I read that its possible to do all this shopping in one place but it didnt say the name.

also I have been told to go to Harrods ( of course ) but to buy something just to get "the bag". is there a HARRODS bag or each store has its own?

You can find all sorts of things in the gift shops at the museums, galleries and sites like the Tower. This place is across from the BM and has all sorts of cheap trinkets like magnets, t-shirts, shot glasses, etc.

If you don't care about visiting the Harrods in Knightsbridge, you could pick something up from the Harrods at the airport.

The Harrod's bags are cheaper in Dutyfree--possibly may be last year's patterns but LGW & LHR both have lots of choices. St Paul's and St Martin-in-Fields Crypt gift shops have lots of items that are decently priced--not sure about shot glasses at either place.
