Foodies looking for souvenirs when on vacation might enjoy bringing back a taste of their travels for friends and family - provided that the items are cleared to go through customs.

Epicurean visitors who are interested in booking with the Melia White House in Regent's Park, London, might want to take some time and experience the grand find foods store, Fortnum Mason.

There's something for everyone at this decadent retailer, from kitchen gadgets to hone, made from the store's own beehive. On the roof of Fortnum's – which is not open to the public - are several small beehives and you can purchase English honey from these bees inside the store.

A gourmet shop wouldn't be anything without a range of fine chocolates to satisfy anyone's sweet tooth. Breathe in the aroma of chocolate and bring home a special box of rose and violet creams for your loved one - although they aren't guaranteed to last longer than a bouquet of flowers. If you prefer your confection sticky and sickly, choose from Fortnum's many varieties of Turkish Delight.

Finally, select some authentic British tea and once home, treat friends and family to a tasty afternoon tea, reminiscient of that which you might have sampled while in London.
