Visiting London questions (with apologies about being OT)

So I'm going to be in London for a week in about a month and was
wondering if you folks can recommend any good second-hand cd stores
or bookshops.

I was hoping to time my visit with another Fanderson convention, but
I haven't seen any information about an upcoming one on their
website. I've been there before, so I know the big stores to check
out (Forbidden Planet rocks!)

Also, does anyone know if Pinewood Studios offers any kind of a
tour?

Thanks!

Brian

P.S. If this is too off topic for UFO discussions, feel free to just
send a message to my email - [hidden email]

Sure - for second hand CD stores, go to Berwick Street, off
Oxford St, halfway between Tottenham Court Road and Oxford
Circus (on the left as you walk toward Oxfor Circus from TCR).
More secondhand CD shops than you can shake a stick at.

For bookshops, Charing Cross Road - between Trafalgar Circus and
Tottenham Court Road. 'Murder One' is a very good second hand
bookshop but there are a lot to visit on both sides of Charing
Cross Road - you can't miss them. There are branches of
Waterstones (for new books) all over the West End as well, the
best is at Cambridge Circus, the junction of Charing Cross Road
and Shaftesbury Avenue.

I doubt it, though it would be very interesting at the moment
since they are filming the live action Thunderbirds there.

Cheers

Hi, Brian,

> Also, does anyone know if Pinewood Studios offers any kind of a tour?

The following is the comment in the FAQ section on the official Pinwood
Studios web site:

Q I would love to look around do you do tours?

A Sorry, Pinewood is a busy studio providing facilities to UK and
international productions. We are unable to allow visits for the public as
they interrupt our customers' shooting schedules.

I hope this information will be of your help.

Try walking down the Charing Road. More 2nd hand bookshops than you can
throw a brick at!
