They have a great selection covering board games, RPGs (including some wonderful indie titles as well as a lot of D&D), tactics games, and hobby supplies. I had a lovely conversation with Winter while I killed time before a show. I own a game store in the US and they gave me lots of ideas for new things to try! There was a great mix of popular titles and more niche ones, all at reasonable prices.

I just love coming here. It's not particularly well signposted, and isn't on a street where you'd…read moreexpect to come across it. All that does is make it all the more special when you arrive. The store is an Aladdin's cave of treasures. This isn't those Warhammer type games, no Orcs and Goblins will be found here. Instead, these are the proper toy soldiers from a vast array of eras. They are set up in displays, although the vast majority are for sale. The only downside is that it gets a bit warm in here during the summer, but frankly the awesomeness of it all is well worth it. If you're in the Buckingham Palace area with your kids, then I worth popping in just for a look around - at speed you could do it in two minutes, but I'm pretty sure you'll want to stay longer.

They also pointed out that some of the best pilots in the world are women, so i didn't have any negativity at all being a women myself! I have returned there many times and am now a regular thanks to my slowly improving flying skills.

i went into the shop to buy a radio controlled helicopter as a present for my brother. the guy that…read moreserved me was virtually persuading me not to buy one because i was a woman (he even said to me '' helicopters are really a mans thing'') this i felt was very sexist considering it was for my brother and not for me (although i didnt tell him that it was a present) This is not very good customer relations and i think they need to undersatnd that women can buy things men buy, like a real car, watches, jewellery, dvds..do i need to go on. I cannot rate this shop at all, i find their attitude arogant and rather disturbing. i would not recommend this shop to anybody unless i loathed them (but some of the helicopters did look rather nice even through the eyes of a woman), and could quite see the attraction to them THEY DEFINATLEY WONT GET ANY OF MY MONEY.

They basically cut out the crap and sell the good shit actual artists want at a decent price.

The Armoury of St James's is a fascinating collectors' boutique offering an extensive range of…read morehistoric miniature military figures. All miniatures available are hand painted and most are completed to a truly outstanding standard. Among the thousands of figures on display, most of the important military themes are represented, including WWII, WWI, British colonial wars, Crimean campaign, Napoleonic wars, 7 Year's War, Medieval knights, Japanese warriors, etc. There is a considerable selection of the individual historic military commanders as well as various rank and file troops. I was particularly impressed by the collection of figures of Napoleon as well as many of his marshals and generals. I also enjoyed studying the varieties of Napoleonic forces including the famous cuirassiers on horsebacks, the old guard grenadiers, and the Saxon infantry. The figures are available in various sizes, with most made in traditional 1/32 scale, but plenty of larger miniatures are also on offer. In addition to lead and tin, there are some items available in porcelain. All are hand painted by experienced internationally acclaimed professionals. Prices for most items are considerable, which is certainly justified given the excellent quality of workmanship. A 1/32 figure of the highest quality costs in the range of £100 and some larger custom made pieces may be worth up to over a £1000. There are some cheaper options, however, with the more mass market, but still very high quality figures, costing around £20 each. This shop is undoubtedly a heaven for collectors or someone simply interested in the military history. However, if you haven't expressed interest in this area before, it's still worth taking a look just for the experience. There are very few places in the world that showcase such range of beautiful historic miniatures.

Okay, I know there are some fanatics out there who have made it their lives but that's another story. I came in here some time ago to buy myself some miniature chairs for a jewellery photo shoot. Even if you don't need anything, it's so much fun to learn about the world of doll's houses. This store build houses to spec, and the craftsmanship is pretty impressive. There's tudor houses, thatched cottages and even regency palaces. But it's the accessories that I can't get over. Everything you need to decorate your home in perfect scale. From pool tables, paintings. working chandeliers to classic Blue French Toile wallpaper. Beware though, it may be cute but it doesn't come cheap!
