snefroe Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 i was wonderig where can one buy lego in london?is there a lego shop? what other toy stores have lego? could you give me an adress? thanx! :-) the best shop would be the legoshop in Kingston, but that's not actually in the city of London; for that one, I'd say check the Lego website; if you need to persuade a girlfriend, wife, any female... it's in a big shopping mall :-P Quote
mutley777 Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 unfortunately the lego store in kingston closed down 2-3 months ago :-( this was my local store and was a very sad day :-( Quote

sam89 Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Hamley's is a bit overpriced though. They will most likely have everything, but most sets cost 10-20% more than they're supposed to. Quote
phoinix Posted December 20, 2006 Author Posted December 20, 2006 thanxs copmike for the details and the map! this will be very usefull! my brother and his girlfriend are going to london for new-years and i will be making a lego list for them!!! X-D since batman is not yet in greece or cyprus i have to send people to the UK!! X-D it costs a bit more but its worth it!!! :-P Quote
phoinix Posted January 2, 2007 Author Posted January 2, 2007 so my brother went to hamleys yesterday with my lego list to discover they had almost nothing from the sets i wanted.... my list was: sailbarge ISD graveyard duel city airplane batmobile with two face (this one they had and he got) seems like everything was sold out for Xmas he said they had A LOT of lego but mostly bionicle Exo-force and batman... i also asked him for a few keychains and he said they didnt have any!!!!! so my question to you is....Where else can you get lego in london??? and i also wanted to ask: isnt the arkham set availiable in europe yet??

Brainbox Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 and i also wanted to ask: isnt the arkham set availiable in europe yet?? I think its S@H exclusive. It is out in the UK, but not in any shops. Quote
mutley777 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 it is a bit outside london but the bluewater shopping mall has a lego store that is quite big. Quote
phoinix Posted January 4, 2007 Author Posted January 4, 2007 which one is closer? milton weynes or bluewater? Quote
mutley777 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 which one is closer? milton weynes or bluewater? That depends on where are you leaving from? Quote
phoinix Posted January 4, 2007 Author Posted January 4, 2007 well my brother is now at central london... i have never been there so i dont really know... but which one is closer to the center? Quote
mutley777 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 no problem :-) i hope he finds the sets you are after! Quote
lostcarpark Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 I highly recommend a visit to Hamley's, but it's quite pricey for Lego. It is worth spending some time browsing all six floors (Lego can be found in the basement), though. They do tend to have quite a good range and occasionally have items reduced that can be good value. They did have a small pick-a-brick section, but last time I was there they only had about 3 brick types, and most of them had migrated to the play tables. The range of other shops in central London seems quite limited. There's Harrod's in Knightsbridge, which is another posh shop, but they have a fairly big toy department and sometimes has a good Lego section. There's a nice model shop on New Oxford Street near Holborn (I forget the name now), which tends to focus on model kits, model trains and Scalextric cars, but occasionally have a small selection of Lego. Worth a visit for the O-Guage train running around the ceiling. There are various branches of Woolworths around the city which can occasionally have quite a good selection of Lego, and sometimes have good discounts. I think there are still a few branches of The Entertainer around, but a lot of them seem to have closed down in the last few years. The only one I currently know is all the way out in Uxbridge, and last time I was there it was a Sunday and I was quite annoyed to discover they don't open on Sundays. Finally, there are various branches of Toys-R-Us, but I think they're all on the outskirts of the city. If anyone knows of any I've missed, please fill me in. Quote

Silbunn Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Also John Lewis stores do carry some LEGO, so its perhaps a worth for visit and small selection offered at Argos too. Quote
