Hi, I'll be in England next week on business from 17th to 22nd. I'll have Sat 21st completely free, and I'll have a car (frightening thought, driving on the correct side of the road instead of the right side.) Can anyone recommend a good shop or con to attend? (Yes, I do make for an extremely poor tourist:)

When in England stoping at Games Workshop is a must (at least once). My input CMC

Shops-wise, the only decent independant left in Central London is Orc's Nest, in Earlham Street (just off Charing Cross Road) - give them a look if you can. There are a few more around the suburbs, and I think a small shop

Don't forget Otherworld Games in Cambridge too. They were just moving shops
last time I was in the area so I'm not EXACTLY sure where they are these days,
but I think they were moving to the town centre somewhere. I have seen GZG
stuff on their shelves before now. Plus in the summer Cam is quite a nice
place to visit anyway.

They also have Flintloque and WarZone and some Grendel Resin Fantasy stuff and a full line of Denizen 25mm SF figures very nice but about a 90p each, also some Nuns with guns and SG2 25mm squads, Star Wars 25mm - little other SF stuff as I bought it all at end of line prices. (Jon T they used to stock lots more of your lines but don't seem to any more - shame). They also do board, RPG and card/dice games. There is also the Toy Soldier in Magdelene Street this is more your WWII and figure collectors type shop. If you want unusual 'Beatles' figures this is the place. They also have a good selection of unusual Military books. Games and Puzzles are in Green Street, but their stock is pretty much all Warhammer now! There are a few interesting RPG's and board games to be found. They sometimes have 1 or 2 end of line items of interest such as Aliens Power-loaders. Games Workshop In Bridge Street if you must - they have the new 40K stuff at ludicrous prices - qualities good though. Cambridge also has lots of bookshops - main chains and independents where military books can be bought at new and second hand prices. I have a huge collection from going round these stores. Sincerely

looking for shops in the UK... If you are after any European board games, I would recommend Just Games on Brewer St, London (just off Oxford St) Mark.
