Hello everyone,
next week, the 14th of august, i plan on visiting several towns of England.
I will be in London (14th to 17th), then in Bath to visit Stonehenge and the city (from 17th to 19th) and finally in Liverpool (from 19 th to 21 th).
I plan on visiting monuments, city centers and big things but i d like to check the local miniatures stores. Do you guys know a couple of adresses?
Moreover do you know if there will be in these cities some miniatures activities where i could attend?
I m planning to do some coacf surfing so if you guys live in this cities and would like to welcome me for a night or two, that will be appreciated.
Waiting for your answers :D
Best regards.

Super nice guys! I'll check these out.
I won't drive, I ll be using train and bus mostly and I think I will focus my main travel on London - Bath (Stonehenge).
I just have one week so it will go very fast.
I would have loved meeting gamers and have a game or two but well, it might be for a next time.
Thanks again for your replies :)

I'm afraid I can't offer you a bed, or anything more than the previous posts re: gaming stores, but I've just got back from a week or so in that part of the West myself. I put a couple of the more history related snaps on my blog if you fancy a peek: http://geeklydigest.blogspot.co.uk/l (http://geeklydigest.blogspot.co.uk/l)

We're just back from London a couple of weekends ago. The Shard is amazing, and well worth a visit, and the British Museum has a greap exhibition of artefacts from Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Orcs Nest is on Earlham Street just off Shaftesbury Avenue, and is a rather decent games shop. It's very close to the London Graphics Centre on Shelton Street, which is a fantastic art supplies shop. It's also just along the road from Forbidden Planet, the big comics and merchandise shop on Shaftesbury Avenue. All are a five-minute walk from Covent Garden.
Leisure Games is THE RPG shop in London, but it's a bit of a journey out to Finchley on the Underground. The shop is, IIRC, pretty close to the station.
Been years sice I lived in Liverpool, so I can't help with the games shops, but check out Williamson's tunnels - absolutely brilliant. You can also get a tour round in a bright yellow DUKW (on land and in the water in Albert Dock), but be warned - two of them have sunk in the past few weeks!
I'm on the wrong side of the country, so sorry I can't help with anywhere to sleep.
