Such a fun place to be at! Great comic store with toys & board games on the first floor and a HUGE selection of comic books , graphic novels in the basement . Nerd Heaven!!
Simply one of the best comic book stores in the world. As well as having loads of other stuff. If u visit london you simply have to come here. I've done a couple of signings here too.
This store is amazing. Has such a huge range of comics along with comic memorabilia . Definitely worth a visit when in London
There are some good bargains for £2 to £3 for fairly new graphic novels in the sale section !! If you get those they are massive bargains!
This is an AMAZING store! I just wanted to see more horror stuff and classical toys . If you like movies and comics , this is a must visit place! Ooh, and the salesman are really nice and helpful!
You comic fan? You're a TV series's fan looking for merch? Or just a little nerd ????? This is the place to visit in London. Never saw so many different comics , merch articles or game stuff then here.
Watch out. You can easily find yourself leaving with a serious dent in the old bank account. Lots of fun stuff for anyone who enjoys geek culture. Keep an eye out for upcoming signings as well !
Two floors of collectables, from comic books and mangas to replicas and excellent gifts for fans or collectors . Worth visiting even to just have a look.
I found Labyrinthe, Goonies and Masters of the Universe Merchandise here. This is comic nerd 's heaven.
When in London, a must to visit. Go downstairs for one of the best comicbook-collections for sale, this side of the atlantic ocean.

Best sci-fi/fantasy store, anywhere. Huge comics dept. Knowledgeable and friendly staff .
Everything a geek needs and wants. Extensive collection of SF and Fantasy books downstairs. Lots of manga and anime as well . And comics .
If you're a true nerd , this is a obligation stop. But beware with your wallet! Everything is really nice and have a fare price so you will spend all of you money.
One of the best comic book stores on earth and most probably in the universe . The Anime and the Manga collection and the collectables alone are worth a multiple joygasm!
I stayed for hours, loved it. The store is very big and has a huge collection of funko pop figures.
The toys and games are classic, cheesy fare. The bookstore however has the largest collection of sci-fi and fantasy books I've seen since the '80s.
Whenever I am in London, this is a MUST stop. The inventory changes just enough to experience a new store every couple months. geeks rule
A great place to get lost between books , comics and vinyl figures. A must for any geek visiting London.
A fanboy's paradise. Great for gift shopping - wide selection of pop culture memorabilia and comic books .
Has a variety of the latest comics and collectables. Unfortunately they don't have any back issues. It's a great shop overall if your not just after comics .
If you're a nerd or a geek, you MUST come here and spend all of your money!
Awesome displays! Look for the calendar special events happening all the time. Great place to hide away from the rain.
Quirky and fun store with plenty of TV show collectibles, games and items.
Like all Forbidden Planets it's crowded as most things can be found elsewhere cheaper, but for a one-stop-shop for your geeky needs it's a must
Really good selection of books and ephemera. Beware of returning stuff, as you can't get cash back--it's store credit only.
This is the place to buy R2D2 mints or Luke Skywalker chopsticks. For the serious work (the real comics ), go downstairs
Great selection of books and comics downstairs. Lots of scale models on the ground floor.
They have amazing sci-fi souvenirs and comics here! The staff are so lovely as well !
I just could not resist it, I bought an Adipose. This is the place for sci-fi and cult collectors and fans and the book shop has best selection of sci-fi and fantasy titles in UK.
A great place to get loads of merchandise, comics , books , DVDs, board games , etc! :)
I wouldn't recommend this place for Comics but I WILL recommend it for Action Figures, Graphic Novels and other collectibles. Last visited it waaaay back in 2002-03
Geek heaven. Slightly pricey compared to others but just a fun way to spend an hour or so
Biggest geek/nerd-store I've ever seen, in the UK, and by far! The comic-book department downstairs is ridiculously massive!
The quintessential geek paradise of London. Hide yo credit cards, hide yo kids - the gadgets and comics are coming to rob your bank account.
Following the Batman comics , and they supplying absolutely everything and showcasing these at the moment!!
If you're a nerd or more specifically, a nerd who's found themselves in London then go check out the Forbidden Planet store!

Simply an amazing shop. Not into comics , but have been converted. Staff were so nice and helpful
All the geek stuff your heart desires, but can very crowdy at times.
Check out Gosh Comics in Berwick Street. Doesn't have such a selection as Forbidden Planet, but it's a proper comic book shop , no silly toys and not a tourist attraction
The best place to visit for geeks. Books , comics , toys , graphics, drawings and a great section downstairs.

Impressive range of dvds, cds and records. Wish I had more time to browse through all of them. - Elizabeth Lee
Amazing place and it’s a must if you visit London! You can spend hours & hours inside so plan well if you are time poor. Worth to hire the audio as it can be really crowded to get too close. - Maria
Amazing and large bookstore. I like that its spacious and modern. They have a nice cafe and exhibition area at the fifth floor - Pieter de Meer
