Click and collect in Surrey and London

It’s almost that time…Christmas lists are being made and Michael Buble’s music is being played. But how can you check off your festive shopping when most of the shops are closed? Amber-Louise Large has some tips… 

With lockdown 2.0 meaning only essential stores can stay open in November, many independent shops across London and Surrey have started offering click and collect and some offer delivery, too. Here are just some of the independent stores you can still buy from during lockdown – so you can support small businesses and spoil your loved ones (or yourself!) this Christmas.
