London Car Model Shops
Looking for any recommendations for Hobby Shops and Book shops in the London area which have lots of race/rally stuff. Don't know if I can make Grand Prix Models but will try. Would like to know about others.
Thanks

Motor Books has a shop in London, they have quite a range of motoring books. See http://www.motorbooks.co.uk/ for details.

Hannants in Colindale (right next to the tube exit) is actually pretty useless for car stuff. In fact, last time I was there, they said 'we don't carry much car stuff as it's not too popular' - they cater mainly for the military modeller.
ModelZone have a few shops here and there. The best one I go to is next to the Holborn tube station, about 2 doors down. See the Sainsbury on the corner, and it's 3 doors WEST of there. Also try Hamleys - they aren't bad for stuff, but a little pricey. You have to deal with floods of kids though, but can be fun looking around the other stuff. I also go to Mick Charles Models in Epsom/ Ewell. They are pretty good, but you pretty much have to drive there. Have fun....

Re: London Car Model Shops
If you're in London be sure to drop into St Martins accessories on St. Martins Lane. They used to be all kits but have moved onto a lot of die cast models now, they still have a lot of kits in though and sometimes have some really different stuff there.. Here's their site...

Re: London Car Model Shops
That would be Hamleys on Regent Street, and yes, they do have models up on the top floor, I forgot about that!
