I want to support my local retailer, but Amazon actually has stock.

Good selection but very commercial, more of an add on to a book shop than a game shop proper.

Sick board game shop. Mostly boardgames but they have a whole shelf of D&D books and dice.

Large bookshop with a small cafe in the basement and a large(ish) boardgame section. While books, cafe and boardgames are a bit mainstream, the selection is very large.

A wonderful bookstore with an excellent selection. Make sure you check out the lower floor which is dedicated to fantasy and sci-fi genres, along with graphic books and games.

A good book/games shop with a cafe alongside. A wide range of games, rpg books and accessories downstairs, and a big range of books on the other floors. Worth a visit if your a gamer and need something new.

There was a table in the store with a game to play for free on display, I'm assuming it changes from time to time. Show less

There was a game finder display that was excellent especially for those new to the hobby. Close to the mile with prices that were competitive with prices I’ve seen so far. Pleasant cafe adjacent (Nero I think). Show less
