Visiting London - where to buy diapers/formula

Hi, London mamas! I’ll be visiting the city in May for a week and I’m trying to save luggage space. I’m wondering a few things: 1. What common store should I look for to buy diapers and formula? 2. Is HIPP Organic a common formula there? 3. What are your favorite diaper brands? Thanks for your help!

Boots is the best store for all things baby! I haven’t had mine yet so can’t answer the other two questions but good luck ☺️

Boots has all you need. You find Boots shops all over the city. Pampers is my favourite nappy brand from Boots. Haven’t started weaning yet but yes, you can get HIPP here too.

Amazing! Thank you, both!

You can get formula at most pharmacies or Supermarkets. Tesco and Boots are a good shout. I've never seen that brand of formula here, but I heard that the formula made in Europe is usually healthier because more people breastfeed (don't really know) so good formula options are available. I get my nappies from Lidl or Asda they are just the supermarket brand and I like them a lot. You also have Pampers, Rascal and friends and Huggies, which are the more common ones. There are so many brands available everywhere, Asda has lots of options but just have a look at the supermarket closes to where you are planning to stay

Boots!!

Boots sell Hipp Organic formula either pre made bottles or powder form and they also have a great range of nappies. That would be your go to place and you will find them everywhere you go in London. Very popular pharmacy/healthcare store. Also you can order online to the local one where you are staying or even to the hotel (you can usually just let the reception know a package will be arriving for you) so you know you are guaranteed it when you come instead of worrying about them having it in stock.

@Claire wonderful idea!

Boots is everywhere, there’s even Lidl’s and mini supermarkets like Tesco scattered around the city. HIPP formula and food is everywhere too. Nappies are super cheap here compared to the US, so you can pick up Huggies or maybe even your usual brand for a lot less.

Boots, superdrug, and every supermarket will also sell their own brand of nappies and wipes & also pampers usually. You won't struggle finding any. My favourite are rascal & friends in Tesco and pampers which are usually on offer wherever you go x
