Question of the week: With Christmas on the horizon, can you recommend a favourite London shop? "Museum shops are fabulous. Unusual things are on offer in each one, you will have noticed this in your travels on the Continent of course. Here in London I particularly recommend the shops at the Victoria and Albert, and at Tate Modern, but then I also like the National Gallery and Portrait Gallery shops. And there are nice things at the Courtauld, too. And at Tate Britain. And at the Wallace Collection. Even at Westminster Abbey and the Queen's Gallery. Indeed, nearly everywhere. And while you are there, you know that if I were along I'd be coaxing you to amble around at least one of exhibits. An amusing pass time might be to imagine at least one item on view that you'd like for Christmas yourself."
