Orcs Nest

This shop has always stood out for its excellent range of board games and accessories, with something for casual players and enthusiasts alike. The selection is genuinely impressive, especially considering the store's size, and used to make this one of my favourite places to visit. However, the pricing does feel quite high compared to similar shops, which already makes it a more considered purchase. Unfortunately, what really let this visit down was the staff experience. Rather than being approachable or engaged, the staff seemed more focused on chatting amongst themselves than acknowledging or assisting customers. On top of that, whilst browsing (and I am aware of the backpack on my back) I got shoved aside by one of the staff (big guy. Dyed hair) rather than excused and asked if I could consider moving, which would hav been easy as the shop wasn't busy 4 potential customers in total. (I am very well aware that it's a narrow shop so shouldn't have a big backpack, but considering the weight in it, it was the better choice to keep it on my back) It was disappointing, especially given how much I used to enjoy coming here. While I wouldn’t rule out returning in the future, it’s no longer a place I’d go out of my way to visit. (Don't live in London anymore, so it is out of my way)

Nice selection in small two story game shop in seven dials area. Great neighborhood and easy to locate. Selection of all the popular titles. Felt it was a bit expensive, but I usually shop in us and prices may be in line with London (about 95 usd for seti in 2025 for context). I don’t play war games but looked like a pretty good supply of titles.

Really lovely store especially if you’re looking for stuff for d&d, lots of books, miniatures and mini paints etc. the store is kinda small so it can be a bit of a squeeze but the service is lovely :-) i only wish they had more miniatures stocked on the shelves, and also they never seem to have any female minis! Idk if they’re just selling out quicker but i’d like to see more female minis in store :p

Great spot in central London for board games lovers. Space is small, but packed with quite a decent choice of various board games - from simple ones to much more sofisticated. DND admirers would find their spot upstairs too. The staff is very friendly and always ready to give an advice ans share their insights.

Staff were enthusiastic and very helpful in explaining and discussing different options for role-playing game as a Christmas gift, suggesting several possible products. Shop is well stocked with a wide variety of board games and role-playing games. Highly recommended.

Best game store in Central London. Unfortunately that doesn't say much since the competition is lacking. I used to visit the store in the 90s, and today it is a bleak shadow of its early state. The venue today is industrial, cold and narrow.

Paid a visit recently and was not disappointed, such a great store with a great selection of products. The staff were very helpful and polite, store was rammed but well worth waiting to get round and see what was on offer. Was able to add a game to my collection I have been after for some time. If you in London certainly check out this gem of a store.

A very small shop. You can find some hidden gems here, which makes this place very special. However, it's quite difficult to walk through the narrow spaces between the shelves if you find that uncomfortable. Also, the shop isn't fully heated during the colder season because it only has a small heater at the entrance and nothing else. Unfortunately, I have to deduct one star for that.
