Best For
Shops for keeping the kids entertained
We count down London's best shops to thrill the kids. And hopefully tire them out a bit.
You are never too old to be into the likes of Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Spiderman and other cult brands and Forbidden Planet is proof of that. However, just because adults love the collectibles on offer at the Shaftsbury Avenue shop that doesn’t mean to say that children don’t appreciate them just as much. Dinosaurs, spaceships, light sabers? How could they not?
The best shops in London to pick up an unusual gift
Be original and plump for an unusual gift
Comic books and superheroes have gone mainstream but that still doesn’t make transforming your living room into a replica of the interior of the Millennium Flacon any more normal – at least that’s what my mum keeps telling me. However, toys are normal - they’ve always been normal – and the range of adult (not that kind of adult) toys on offer at Forbidden Planet is vast. Casually stroll in, pick up a couple of WWF action figures, a Star Wars Storm Trooper mask and a Harry Potter wand or two and you’ve got yourself a great selection of unusual gifts to give.
London's best shops for fancy dress
It's dress... but fancier.
For all the best in Comic-Con inspired costumes Forbidden Planet is on hand. Think Wonder Woman, Dr. Who, Star Wars and Star Trek. This is the fun side of fancy dress and if you don’t take a little pleasure from a trip to Forbidden Planet then you need to be upping your sci-fi dosage.
London's best spots for Sci-Fi fans
Pants on the outside please...
Many know this legendary store as a comic book shop, but it also stocks signed books, posters, T-shirts and toys from franchises like Star Wars and Dr Who. Collectors will find shiny Clone Troopers and Avengers action figures here.
