    I will be visiting London next week(part of my honeymood). I wanted to pick up a souvenir that is Star Wars/London related if you know what I mean. Is there a store I can go to where I may find something like this?

    I leave this sat. Suggestion would be great.

    Thanks.

    Can't think of anything offhand that is both London and Star Wars. However, Forbidden Planet (Shaftesbury Avenue - closest tube station Leicester Square) carries a lot of SW merchandise. They tend to be expensive though. We also have a UK Star Wars magazine which should be available at the larger newsstands, WH Smith, and Forbidden Planet. It mostly reprints Insider articles but this month's has extracts from the Vader Ultimate Guide book. It's pretty good!

    Yeah, Orbital is pretty good as well. I generally walk between there and FP - it isn't that far. It's on Charing Cross Road. I hate their steep staircase though - I always feel like I am about to do a header to the bottom when I enter.

    You could always see if you can get some nice UK Graison stuff.

    I'll Also be in London (for Christmas). Although I'll be staying with my sister (who lives in Bow) I'm fairly conversant in Londonism but I'll be on my own 90% of the time...:( if anyone wants to meet up for a pint ect, please drop me a PM...:*

    Breezy - I live close to London. If I'm not busy I'd be willing to meet up (I normally do a Forbidden Planet run every few weeks).

    Hey Breezy, I'm in London on business quite a bit, so just give me some warning and I'll meet up for a drink etc.

    Cheers
