The list below outlines the regulations but as you are travelling internal you have no allowance.
Duty free allowances and information in the United Kingdom
Duty Free: Liquor, tobacco, perfume
Tax Free: everything else
If you are flying inside the EU there are no longer any restrictions on the amount you may bring in of any of the following Tax Free goods:
perfumes, cosmetics, skincare

When travelling to the UK from the EU
You do not have to pay duty on any items bought in another EU country as long as:
tax was paid at the time of purchase

None, all items will be subject to UK duty unless you are leaving the country.Plus on an internal flight you won`t even get to duty free.

You can buy as many as you like in the 'normal' shops'
When you try to buy 'Duty Free' they will demand to see you Boarding Pass and Passport.
When it is discovered that you are not leaving the EU, they will charge you normal price.
