Does anyone remember this top shop in Pentonville near Kings Cross? A Saturday mecca for me when I moved to London! In the days before the Internet I got so much from here. It must have closed around 1992.

I used to buy rules, figures and Skytrex 1/1200th ships there. Happy days!

IIRC they sold Pendraken army packs. If it's the place I'm thinking of I visited once many moons ago.

I remember calling in there when I was in London during the early 90s.

Yes, I remember calling in there on my commute back to Huntingdon, at the end of the eighties/early nineties. I still have a painted 15mm unit of SYW Bayreuth Dragoons I bought back then.

Remember the young chap who ran it. Got on so well with him; think his name was something like Peter (O'Toole?). Anyone know what happened to him?

Does anyone remember a toy shop down the back of Battersea Power Station in the 70's.

I used to shop there when training in London for Roco minitanks which were unavailable in Edinburgh and the internet hadn't been invented then.

The Exiles club meets on a Thursday night. They took their name from the shop as the club was started by the owners of the shop. Now based in a pub near Waterloo station.

Quite possibly. I remember buying Platoon 20 stuff from there.
