Non-Scot kilted in London?

Nobody will give you a second glance in London, I have worn tartan kilts and a solid colour Freedom kilt in London, no problem.

Thanks all of you for your input, which has been most encouraging. I shall certainly bring one or two kilts to London.

You'll be fine! London is very multicultural. You'll probably get a lot of other tourists wanting a picture with you simply because you're kilted!
I have never been kilted in London before but it seems to be the best place in England to wear one - as it is so diverse.

That and well, frankly it must be said, it's not as if the english (and London) aren't ...."acquainted" with the scots and their dress ;) It definitely would not throw them for a loop or anything I bet

I have been to London a few dozen times over the past 6/7 years and have always worn my Cilt. I have never experienced a problem there (or anywhere else in the UK come to that). You will be just fine.

Thanks again. I look forward to the trip. By the way, are there any shops in London selling kilts and accessories? I might be in a need for a new day wear sporran.

I have heard that The Scotch House in Knightsbridge doesn't exist anylonger. Googling reveals a Highland Store, 66 Great Russell Street?

I was down in London this weekend, Unfortunately I did not see anyone kilted other than the piper on Westmininster Bridge who was attracted a lot of attention

Yes , that's about the only one there is now, it's opposite the British Museum, well worth a visit , but it's a small shop
