1st world problem for today, but answers would be appreciated. Boarding in 20 min.
Choice at Gatwick is limited to inoffensive but expensive for what they are from Harrods at £25.

Should I hang out for Cologne? Won't be landing till half 8 CET.

Cheers!

I wouldn't risk it. In my experience your choice of shopping at a UK airport (LHR / LGW) is greater than almost anywhere else in Europe / North America. (Dubai, Singapore etc are a different story)

Might as well get it out of the way and avoid a panic at Koln.

If you post some pictures, then you may get help deciding which one too.

Gatwick

Having spent hours and hour over many trips at Bonn airport it is pretty poor, Gatwick is like a shopping centre in comparison!

P'raps too late, but I'd vote for LGW too. Which terminal, though?

Cheers, all! The oracle speaks, as per usual!

Had a pint, checked back here, bought a bloody tie from bloody Harrods. Taking it to what might be one of the dirtiest places I've been for some time. Wish it luck.
