I was there last year and found a kite/boomerang/juggling toys shop. I
don't
remember the name nor the address but it is very close to Covent Garden
(a
place almost all tourists have to go!). It is in a small but very crownd
street
going from Covent Garden to Oxford Street.

Try the Neal Street Kite Shop, London SW1, just north of Covent Garden

Well you've got plenty of pointers to the "Kite Store" at Covent
Garden in central London there, and it *is* probably the most
convenient for you (being central) but somebody should point out for
you that there *are* others (2 or 3) if you want to venture further
afield.

Let us know if you do and we'll post more details.

And enjoy yourself whatever else you do.

Fat Flexies,
Nick

Thanks for all the response I got on the newsgroup and through e-mail.

Yes - I'm interested about those shops further afield of London. Thanks
again.

Hi.

Other kite shopes I can think of off hand are.

Radical Sports.
10a Fouberts place.
London W1.

Just off Carnaby St.

High as a Kite.
153 Stoke Newington Church St
Stoke Newington.
London N16.

The number 73 bus goes right by.

Kite Corner.
657 Watford way
London NW7.

Kite Corner is on the outskirts of London to the north.

Whatever,

Chris.

Yes, there's one near Covent Garden. I've visited it last christmas. Nice
shop, though I didn't bought anything. I don't know the exact adress but
you'll find it in the info books on your hotel, as I did.
Have fun,
John
