Can anyone tell me if there are any worth-while hobby stores in London, UK who supply 1:35 Dragon, Tamiya etc. I'm looking for figures in particular but want to be able to browse a range of armour and 1:48 aircraft kits too.

I've been to a few in Hampshire and they are all rubbish and really train orientated!

Try Modelzone its near Holborn tube station,good range of armour in most scales and all the leading companies they had the dragon range of figures when I last visited there.definatley worth a visit.good range of paints also. Turn left when you leave tube station cross road keep going for about one hundred yards you cant miss it its a big shop.hope this helps
P.S. Good range of wingy things also.

Hannants is in North London.
Hannants London retail shop, Unit 2, Hurricane Industrial Estate, Avion Crescent, Grahame Park Way, Colindale, London.
The closest underground station is Colindale on the Northern Line some 30 minutes from the center of London. Just turn left as you leave the station and walk for about 5 minutes just past the RAF Museum.

Have you tried Just Add Imagination in Botley? They're pretty good for Dragon.

Thanks for the replies,

Hannants is a bit far north as we will only be visiting Central London but I will try Modelzone and perhaps the Just Add Imagination shop in Botley.
