I remember studying that entry in all its details ;)
Hah, I know exactly which tourist shop you mean! I have been in there myself and it was indeed awesome. Lots of things I haven't seen in any other shops. I still regret not getting that little case with four little beer bottles with real English beer. I never saw them anywhere since.
Next time I am in London, I'll have to go back to that shop. I'll also have to go back to the British museum. We only managed the Egypt and Greek things on ground floor, plus the special exhibition with some American Indian / Inka stuff they had at the time, and a bit of Chinese vases on first floor and then decided that our legs were hurting. I didn't make it till the coin collection upstairs, I hear they even have GDR coins!
We were in a doll and toy museum in London also with toys and dolls from all over the world and surely enough I found some from my childhood as well. That was pretty awesome.
