Total parent win! Took my teenagers to the London Megastore and they completely lost their minds. It is absolute geek heaven. They found manga volumes they’ve been hunting for months and a ton of cool figures. If you have teens, you have to bring them here—it’s the only place that actually makes them drop their phones! 5/5 stars

I haven't been here in over a decade, but it's the same layout, just with updated fandoms. Merch upstairs and books and games downstairs. Good place to spend lots on stuff that can't easily be found in person (and some that can).

Lots of great things to find in this comic book , anime store their graphic novels , trinkets , books , comic book posters , stickers pins so many kinds of memorabilia, for all the people who love the different series and games. This is the place to go. It was very busy when we went around 4:30 PM and it is in a very Central place in London. So if you are in the theater district You can plan to make us stop here to check out.Any cool things we ended up buying a couple of things and there are a lot of books to explore.

Forbidden Planet is like Mecca for anyone who loves pop culture. Everyone can find something they like here - from collectibles, figurines, posters, and clothes to all kinds of fun little bits and bobs. There’s a huge book section downstairs offering a wide range of books, comics, and video game walkthroughs. It’s a truly amazing place that I love coming back to every time.
