Hi,
i'm going for a few days to London. Wonder if there are any wargames shops in London central

Under Two Flags doesn't carry wargames stuff, only 54mms and up.Orc's Nest (Earlham Street) and Playing Games (Museum Street) are the only central London ones, although Modelzone (High Holborn, west of the Holborn tube station) does have plenty of 20mm plastics and kits. If you can get into the suburbs, there's Leisure Games (Finchley Central tube) and Navwar (Seven Kings station, from Liverpool Street) and I think Gripping Beast have a shop somewhere in the western suburbs. |

If you can get to Harrow-on-the-Hill on the Metropolitan Line there's an ace wargames shop called The Model Shop, unorgiginal but there you go. It's one of those aincient places where the words "stock take" would probably be greeted with blank incomprehension. I've never failed to find something interesting. |

I forgot to mention Games Workshop in the Plaza mall at 200 Oxford Street. Gripping Beast are in Richmond. |

I second The Model Shop in Harrow-on-the-hill, oh, and I think on of the big Virgin's or similar large store (as well as Hamleys) had a gaming section - I think it was a forbidden planet in another store. Sorry thats not much help, I live near London but avoid it like the plague ;-) |

Virgin stopped doing anything but electronic games a long time ago |
