That's utterly disgraceful that they can get away with charging exorbitant prices for those with tiny feet.

Karma sent.

Make sure whatever boots you buy have a good tread on them so you remain upright as much as possible.

As for other clothes I find layers of t-shirts and cardies under a warm coat are best as when you get inside the over heated buildings you end up a sweaty nasty heap of redness and steam.

Get a pashmina from John Lewis to wrap around your head and neck, and a warm hat to go over that. Mittens, not gloves will keep your hands warmer.

In terms of temps...London won't be too cold relatively speaking..probably at or a bit warmer than Toronto and warmer than places like Barrie, Ottawa etc....if Lake Huron still isn't frozen over by January you may get quite a bit of lake effect snow especially on the NW side of London and between there and Grand Bend...south of town not so much.

No, no, no . . .
Unless you really have a good source of winter clothes in the UK that can stand Canadian winters, don't bother until you get here. Just buy a few layers to survive until you can get some suitable stuff.
Very important is a good pair of waterproof and cold proof boots and some of those metal ice grips for walking on ice (otherwise a twisted ankle is more or less guaranteed one day).
After 10 winters here, I can say after trying several things that these are the best I have used:
