    I’m glad staff were OK with filming as it’s a good advert for the store. I will probably go as a result of this video.

    I've loved Forbidden Planet since I was a kid. I've been to a lot of branches around the U.K. but the London one is an absolute Mecca for sci-fi/fantasy/comic-book nerds like me. It's one of the those stores you could easily spend hundreds of pounds in, if you have that kind of money.

    I remember when this was a single level shop back in the day off Shaftesbury Avenue, maybe Denmark St if my memory serves. It was all comics back then with signings in the shop on certain days. There was another popular shop I used to go to ‘Dark They Were, and Golden Eyed’ in Soho. Oh the memories

      Yeah I was going to say this place has changed a lot since I was last there, maybe 20 odd years ago!

      I have fond memories of the Dennark Street store, buying early Xfactor issues, and, attending a Chris Claremont, Art Adams and John Bolton Classic Xmen signing, that they held at the hotel around the corner.
      Then, I remember FP moved to New Oxford Street, before they moved to the Shaftsbury Avenue site.

    Hello. In know nothing about retail stores. Does it sell merch at a lower price or it is expensive because it is a collector seller?

    • @jumu446
      @jumu446 6 місяців тому

      Hi, they have a lot of merch, so, you can see what you're buying but, truthfully, they are overpriced, but, it is unlikely that you will find anywhere else that sells the products in London.
