London — or Mordor, as Northerners like to call it — is packed with royals, history, and traffic jams that could test even the most patient wizard. Once the heart of an empire, now also the home of queues, overpriced coffee, and enough nerdy shops to make your wallet cry.
Hidden among the chaos are some cracking collectable shops — from wizardry wonders to comic book temples — ready to suck you in for hours.
We’ve compiled a tongue-in-cheek list of the Top 4 Collectable Shops in London, UK.
4. The Noble Collection
This shop is in fact our favourite, but we put this fourth on our list for unknown reasons. The Noble Collection is a great place for kids and adults alike to immerse themselves in the world of fantasy and make believe. Even the shop interior is an experience.
The shop has items from different movies and games such as The lord Of The Rings (best movie ever made) Minecraft (what fantastic memories on that blowing up other people's builds) Nickelodeon and Harry Potter (again)
They are first on our list, no wait, fourth.
3. The House of Spells
Want to immerse yourself in all that is wizardry fun from shows such as Harry Potter, Stranger Things, Fantastic Beasts, Game of Thrones and Barbie? We joked about Barbie. If you answered yes, then this place is for you.
From wands to gifts to clothing to sculptures and stationary, this place has it all. Just don't cast any spells on us.
They are third on our list.
2. The Who Shop - Upton Park
The Who, are an amazing English rock band, formed in 1964, oh wait the shop isn't about them... Ohh Dr Who! Dr Who is a British science fiction television series which began just before The Who in 1963 and this shop is dedicated to that old masterpiece.
This shop has everything you can think of related to Dr Who, including Dr Who products and merchandise. Dr Who, all related...Dr Who Dr Who...Exterminate!!
They are ranked second on our list
1. Forbidden Planet International
The Forbidden Planet Company has been going since 1978, with 17 stores up and down the country and around the world. It's the ultimate place for sweaty nerds to gather and marvel at all the merchandise, comic books, manga, toys and clothing that these stores provide. Forbidden Planet International in London is much loved by people in and around London with 4.6 out of 5.0 stars with over 17000 reviews on Google. If you're ever in London and don't want to get robbed by one of the locals then this place is for you. We really think this our worthy winner. They are first on our list and deserve all the love.
Final Thoughts
London might have traffic, overpriced coffee, and people who walk too slowly, but it hasn’t lost its magic when it comes to collectable culture. From wizarding wonders to comic book cathedrals, these four shops prove that even in chaos, there’s always something brilliant to collect.
