IFIS - Royal Holloway Science Fiction and Fantasy Society

Recommended Science Fiction and Fantasy Shops

Here is a list of shops that over the years, various people within the society have enjoyed giving their hard earned (or borrowed in the case of the students) cash to.

We've put together some funky magic to show you where some of the stores are on Google maps too.

If you're looking to buy books or DVDs/Blu-rays, you can buy the latest and greatest from our little online store which helps our society earn a little bit of pocket money too.

Ace Comics

26 Red Lion Street
Richmond
Find on Google Maps at N 51 45.963800 W 0 30.418700

Technically none of us have been here yet, as this is the replacement for They Walk Among Us - but it is the nearest comic book store to us still so it's worth listing anyway.

Amazon UK

Amazon is an online store that has a wide selection of science fiction and fantasy books, DVDs, videos and pretty much anything else you could want. With a few clicks of your mouse you can get a whole bunch of books winging their way to your front door.

The Fantasy Centre

157 Holloway Road
London
Find on Google Maps at N 51 54.957300 W 0 10.867100

This store has gone to the great shopping center in the sky and is no more. It's an unfortunate shame, but it had a good long run. It will be sorely missed.

Forbidden Planet

179 Shaftesbury Avenue
London
England
Find on Google Maps at N 51 51.501700 W 0 12.707300

Gosh comics

1 Berwick Street
London
England

This comic book shop has moved to Soho (hence the new address) into a much larger property. It's possibly one of the largest stores in London now.

Previously called "The Mighty World Of Comicana" (aka the one that Phil can never remember the name of) this is one of the many lovely comic stores in London that we visit on our shopping trips.

They Walk Among Us

They've closed the physical store (which has turned into Ace Comics) and have gone online only now.

Jenny (bobette) is now the manager of this bookshop so can order ANY book,comic,magazine,roleplaying game/supplement as long as it's currently in print. The bookshop itself does not stock many Science Fiction & Fantasy books, but can order them in as required.
