    Default Recommendation for comic book shops in london

    Hi guys!
    it's been a while since the last time I was here, it's good to be back.
    next month i'll have my spring break vacation in London.

    I need recommendations for comic book shops in London.
    I found out about those 3 in google but I trust more people's recommendations then the google results:

    https://www.goshlondon.com/
    https://forbiddenplanet.com/
    http://www.orbitalcomics.com/

    so any help will be welcomed,

    ty a lot in advance,

    There are several more but those three are all you need. FP is huge, the others are nothing to scoff at either - particularly if you are looking for signed and limited editions.

    I definitely rate Orbital, Gosh & FP very highly - all have very friendly & knowledgeable staff and a good selection of stuff

    Regarding those books you asked about I believe that if they aren't out of print the shops should have them but I would recommend you e-mail them ahead of your trip to be sure (that way you can ask them to hold copies for you as well and if they are not in stock they could try and order them in for you before your trip)

    info@orbitalcomics.com
    info@goshlondon.com
    info@forbiddenplanet.com (specify you're asking about the Shaftesbury Avenue branch)

    Hope that helps

    No!!!!!!!! These are NOT the only shops!!
    The best shop is a second hand book store in Notting Hill next to Notting Hill Gate tube station.
    It has TONS of rare omnibus and ohc’s, sometimes they are hidden behind the counter too!!!

    do you have the name of the store or any mail to contact them to ask them about the comics if they have it in the store?

    Pretty sure he's talking about the Book and Comic Exchange in Notting Hill:

    https://www.facebook.com/thenottingh...comicexchange/

    I didn't link to their official website because my antivirus thinks it's infected with a trojan

    If you're still looking for comic shops in London there's also Mega-City Comics in Camden although I haven't been there in years so I don't know how good they are now.
