Rick Brown Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 I'm down here for "Lost Evenings" till the 20th. Anything model related down here? Anything else worth seeing? Rick.
Paul J Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 I found a model shop in Camden just outside Sydney. Australia. But that is a bit far though..... 2
MikeC Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 The Northern Line will take you to Colindale for Hannants shop and the RAFM. 1 1

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, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 Camden Market is always worth a visit, especially for the variety of food stalls 👍 Regards, Steve 1

bentwaters81tfw Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 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 1

Pete in Lincs Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 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!

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.

About 5-6 years ago I suppose. I had previously been in the early 60's, when it was something. All the exhibits have since been removed.
Rick Brown Posted September 17, 2021 Author Posted September 17, 2021 Hendon it was! Changed quite a bit since my last visit. Well worth the visit. Cheers all. Rick. 1
