New(ish) dealer in central London (1 Viewer)

[Johnboy]

Hi All,
I recently returned from a leisure trip to London, and against the current trend, there is now a dealer in Jubillee market (Covent Garden). His name is Alessandro Salzano . Alessandro runs "Covent Garden Games" and has now diversified to include TS. He has a good collection of Britains ,TG , Alexanders, and many more.
I found him to be a very helpful and knowledgeable guy. He even allowed me to have a rummage through his Britains stock of which I made several purchases. If you find yourself in London I recommend a visit to this interesting market stall.

When I was in London last month, I tried to find the shop in Covent Garden, but couldn't find it

I asked one of the security guards there, and in a toy shop, but to no avail....

Good new is that Alessandro had a table at the Toy Soldier Show, so I managed to speak to him and so he explained where to find it, but we didn't get back into that part of London to get and fin it... oh well next time ??

Also be aware that Andy Morant has a stall in Portobello Road, he was also at the Toy Soldier Show, so check him out on market days. http://www.andymoranttoys.co.uk/

I found this shop in Jubliee Market (side building) in Covent Garden yesterday. Had to ask another store where it was though.

Lovely little shop. Zhe runs it. Has lots of Del Prado and Thomas Gunn soldiers and some TG vehicles and a plane as well as other soldiers.

Friendly guy and at last someone in London stocking soldiers so you can view them!

Long may it continue...

Will try to get him to stock more TG stuff esp planes....

Cheers,

Stefan

Hi Johnnybach,
I can't draw, but a better description is ............ the stall is situated on the last row in Jubilee Hall nearest the London Transport Museum. If coming from the Strand , head for the right hand side of Tavistock Street.
Basically if you find Covent Garden, you can't really go wrong!!
Cheers

Hi John,

Alessandro here from Covent Garden Games. It's kind of you to mention the shop. As discussed it can be quite tricky to find! Essentially the shop is a hole in the wall along the edge of the Jubilee Market in Covent Garden. It's taking me a while to sort the website out but the 'contact' section does have the address and a little map of where I'm based. Hope this helps.
