Any shops in South London?

[Garryoke]

There used to be a shop a few miles away from Croydon, in Caterham, that sold old toys and Star Wars stuff. I've been told it's closed now. I plan to sell all of my vintage figures and weapons and mini rigs online but I do have a load of ships that I just want to take to a shop and sell. Does anyone know of a shop like this in London? I remember another one at Abbey Mills in Merton that has now gone.

many thanks folks : )

Hi mate there are no real star wars shops in london I dont think but perhaps answering a PM I sent 10 days ago asking for pics of your collection for sale might help! :?

The shop in Caterham was called Modellers Loft. They moved/semi retired to Dorset a few years ago. Shame, it was there forever & was my 1st stop whenever i was back in the UK.

There's Time Trek in Bromley that is still going that dabbles a bit in vintage. Orbital Comics in central London might be interested too and there's also a couple of guys with a shop in Northolt but they might be modern only.

Could that be the shop I found in Poole (Dorset) full of vintage Star Wars stuff mostly junk in my eyes but still if so that's gone aswel.the last time i was down that way the guy in the front bit of the shop said the guy had gone up north. The Star Wars stuff was in the back and it was closed off but I could still see loads of bits there but he wouldn't let me look at any of it as the bloke had ****** off there was a few none Star Wars bits I was interested in.

I did go in while the Star Wars bit was open but like I say it was mostly junk lots of figgies tho.

I was going to say Orbital as I know they sell stuff for other ppl but charge silly prices for it and I think they only really like stuff in its boxes. Altough I did see a snowspeeder in there the box was in great shape I actually went in 2 buy it but when I got it out it was broke haha utter crap. They love Vintage and Japanese Transformers in there tho just to let you all know

It's in the big marjet area. I've only been to camden once, last November, so will describe as best I can. When you walk up the street with all the weird things like dr martens glued on a wall you get to a bridge by a loch. Cross the bridge and on the left where there's loads of bronze horse studios there is an indoor bit with the entrance marked by two huge silver statues. It's in there.

Ok I found the place

They don't like ppl taking photos around there so I could only get 2 crappy ones before the bloke turned up. I wouldn't bother with this place at tho it was all junk and overpriced that greedo was all paint scuffed with wrong weapon for £17 haha mental he also had a Totally beat up logray carded that was £40 his mini rigs were trash and after £25 each also he was a total dick and he dosent buy anything I'm not surprised he must not sell jack on the junk stall

Was that at the back of Boiler Room Records on the old High Street opposite Pizza Express? The Star Wars bit was run by a guy called Martin, who used to own a dedicated vintage SW shop in the Old Town Market before it closed. I got most of my MOCs there in the 90s. Shame if it's closed now.
