The Who Shop International

Do you like Doctor Who? If you do, you need to make a stop here part of your time in London. There’s no way to explain it better.
They have all of the merchandise that you could want, or at least as much as is reasonable to have in a single location. Some of the items they have are things I never thought I’d actually see on this side of the planet, including the Her Universe line of clothing items which includes things like skirts with TARDIes on them. There is clothing, comics, housewares, posters, toys, and probably a lot I’m forgetting at this point.
The museum in the back is fun and contains a lot of worthwhile memorabilia items. It’s really fun to wander about and see all they could collect.
The only negative is that it’s a bit out of the way. It’s still not that hard to get to but it’s a bit annoying if your trip is short and you’re otherwise mainly focused on very central London. It’s really worth the detour.

Of course the Shop was a must visit for me, as a Whovian. It has everything you need, and even much more. It’s bigger in the inside! :)
In the Who Shop you can buy a lot of posters, T-​shirts, key chains, books, Comics, Daleks… and more. If you wanna know which products exactly they offer, just take a look on their internetpage. The URL is:
I went to buy a Tardis keychain from the 10^th Doctor, and also a poster from the 11^th Doctor. I had super good luck, the 11^th Doctor’s posters were all sold, only the one to view was left. Then I could buy that one in the end, and even got a discount! Haha… I was very happy.
Also the staff was nice and there is a Museum inside. I haven’t tried the museum yet, because later I wanna do that with someone together after returning to London again. What I can say about the shop is just it’s great, even if you are not a Doctor Who Fan, you can still come and take a look at those many interesting products. I just love that shop so much! Geronimo!

There are stores that are good stores, there are stores that blow your mind, there are interesting stores, and there are places like The WHO shop, a shrine that sells stuff… dr who stuff! It has EVERYTHING from unique merch to exclusive and normal one, the only problem it’s that the store is too awesome for the average whovian!

A great time for the true Dr Who fan, the shop and museum has a decent collection of memorabilia from the show. Some pieces are not authentic, built by the shop owner or other fans, but a fair number are real.
The £3 entrance to the museum is donated to a charity for wounded military veterans.

Really enjoyed the experience a lot! It was memorable and the staff were top notched! Lots of history and more to see. I would like to see more vintage who merchandise though. I couldnt find my 7^th doctor
Jumper there. But it was still cool!

We’ve been to the Who Shop twice in the past three years and absolutely love it. It has everything a Whovian could want, and more.
The owners are two of the nicest and most knowledgeable Doctor Who, British TV and Sci-​Fi people we’ve ever met. They know just about everything about Doctor Who, and the people who have been part of it, in fact, they’ve met most of them, and many of them have been to the shop themselves.
The last time we were in The Who Shop was during the 50^th Anniversary Doctor Who weekend in November 2013. We spent several hours in the store talking with the owners, and with other customers. It is a fairly unique experience being in a shop with people you’ve just met, but can talk to for an hour or two about your favorite Doctor Who episode.
We love looking at the extensive inventory of collectables, autographs, clothing, toys, you name it, they have it. They’ll ship anywhere, and if you get home and regret not buying something, you can order online. Oh, and did I mention that they have a Doctor Who Museum in the back? It’s got many one of a kind items, including props, costumes, and a whole lot of Doctor Who History.
The Who Shop is a great place to spend an afternoon. Once you’ve been there, you’ll definitely want to go back. We do!

Not even close to worth it. Being the only place we saw Dr. Who related in London, we expected a bit more. Way out of the way from anything else worth seeing and really underwhelming. Seemed rather dingy and unorganized and nothing really special worth buying at the prices. On top of that, photos aren’t allowed unless they tell you that you can. Which is fine except the sign isn’t very well placed and when we didn’t see it, we were screamed at by the woman behind the counter. The Dalek was cool and so was the tardis but we didn’t really want to stay after that. Neither are worth it for the trip out there.

Good and bad
+ the staff is friendly
+ the neighborhood is interesting and fun to walk around in
— this place is incredibly overpriced
— their «museum» is one small musty-​smelling room and costs 3 gbp to see. granted, it’s a very full room… but still just the one. it takes about 5 minutes to see everything there is to see.
— most of their stuff is relevant to the old series, not the new one which was a bit off putting for me personally because the old series doesn’t do much for me.
— a fair amount of other fantasy /​nerd /​stuff mixed in — cardboard cutout of buffy leaning against the tardis, star trek and star wars toys on the shelf, and a counter full of twighlight action figures. that could be good or bad but in my book it’s on the ‘meh’ side of the fence because in a place this small and crowded the shelf space would have been better used to properly display the stuff we came there to see.
— did I mention all their merch is incredibly overpriced? 20 gbp for a t-​shirt I could get online for half that.
summary: bit of a tourist trap. Worth a look if you’re in the neighborhood but not worth the long train ride if you’re not.

My favorite Sci-​Fi shoppe in the UK. I have been ordering Doctor Who DVD’s for many years as they take Visa and don’t mind dispatching to the US. They offer the largest selection I have ever seen of smaller label «indie» DVD producers and I have managed to obtain some very rare titles from here. A Doctor Who collectors treasureland with no borders.
