When I get back to my home town, I always drive by the building where I "used" to buy my hobby supplies back in the 1970's and early 80's. That store closed shortly after I left high school many moons ago but it will always remain this great wonderland I would get lost in. So many games and miniatures and not enough money or time to play them all. Sad to see it still happening everywhere. However, when I owned three hobby stores I was forced to relocate one of them after the lease expired when the increase in cost to operate it due to lease hikes occured.

Games Workshop announces:

It is with regret that we have to announce that due to business considerations beyond our control we are going to be closing our Harrow and Hammersmith stores.

Whilst this is a sad time for all concerned, we are making the best of this opportunity to thank all our customers for their loyalty over the years by hosting a last-day spectacular in order to see the stores off in fitting fashion!

We are having special parties in both stores on Saturday, 20th October, complete with:

  • Guests from the past and from around Games Workshop
  • Huge games
  • Hobby activities
  • Competitions
  • Cake!

...and you are all welcome to come along from 10am and join in!

If you can't make it down to the store this week, don't worry - we will continue to support our hobbyists through our Watford, Uxbridge, Brent Cross, Kensington, Richmond and Oxford Street Games Workshop stores, as well as our independent stockists and our Community Team. We are always on the lookout for locations and opportunities for opening new stores and Independent Stockists, and you can find your nearest stockists and clubs in the Store Finder.

We hope that you are able to join us and help us close the Harrow and Hammersmith stores with all the enthusiasm that has been shown to the stores over the years.
