Paul J Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 I found a model shop in Camden just outside Sydney. Australia. But that is a bit far though..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only one I can think of within distance of Camden. Hamleys used to have a good section but I haven't been there for so long it may have gone. For a massive city like London there is a shockingly small amount of model/hobby shops. Museums wise the Imperial War in Lambeth is great, The Wallace Collection on Manchester Square has a great collection of old weaponry and Wellington's house by Hyde Park is worth a visit, but is more arty than military.

fatfingers Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Camden Market is always worth a visit, especially for the variety of food stalls Regards, Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Shall we say I was underwhelmed, since they 'modernised' it. Glad they don't charge admission. Not a patch on what it used to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Camden High Street is quite bonkers and worth a wander. The pedestrian crossings are painted as rainbows! Oh, and they've knocked down Morrisons! I used to stop off there after delivering the beer to have a coffee & eat my lunch. Tsk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a patch on what it used to be. They "modernised" Foyles bookshop, which used to have a cracking military/modelling section, and left me so disappointed that I haven't been back since. It may have improved over time but I loved the old style of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had previously been in the early 60's, when it was something. All the exhibits have since been removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
