If there are direct flights from London to Guangzhou or Shenzhen, you can take it to reach Guangzhou or Shenzhen. These are probably the largest cities in Guangdong Province.

You must refer to Mineral Stones Garden or Museum (Shitouji Mineral Garden), where you can find all kinds of items in various shapes and sizes, made of stone or mineral.
By the way, it is at Huadu District.
