Geek heaven, and an excellent source of gifts for the latest media trend
Scream The Horror MagAugust 27, 2013This shop stocks Scream:The Horror Magazine. If you can't see it on the shelf, ask a member of staff, and tell them Scream sent you.
Absolutely amazing place! They frequently have people doing signings for books etc so check their website each week to see what's going on
- Geek's Wonderland. May even turn you into a geek. Could stay a week downstairs..!
SimsimyOctober 14, 2012Prepare some extra £££. If it is comics or sci-fi or nerdy - you'll find it there.
Best place to go if you're looking for new sci-fi/fantasy, they get weakly shipment from the US.
They get US imports so always check the book section if there's something you're after
Show NUS card or university student card for 10 percent discount on non-discounted items
Roland MádloSeptember 23, 2012Lots of goods, good prices and nice staff. Sadly, no working TARDIS or Portal Gun.
Matt EatsDecember 27, 2010The best shop in the world. Spend all your money here. All of it. Who needs food?
Luke AndersonAugust 29, 2010The best (well at least the biggest) comic shop in London. Check it out if you're feeling nerdy.
Say goodbye to your money. And your cell phone signal.
A lot of things for your geeky and nerdy craving. Staff is rude.
