Default Scooby shops in london?

Hey guys, forgive me if this is in the wrong forum but I'm on an internet timer here and don't have time to browse around much.

I'm a regular NASIOC poster but figured this was a better bet. I'm currently vacationing in London (from canada) until the end of the week, and was wondering if there are any subaru specialist type shops around the city that I should check out and hopefully pick up some neat part, or perhaps some type of motoring enthusiast shop with some neat shirts or something.

I'm hoping to check out TVR london on park lane and would also love to find a good aston shop or something else cool that we don't have overseas.

Any info would be appriciated. Thanks, and happy new year!

Happy New Year.

If you are going to be in Park Lane, London where you should see the Aston Martin garage, then it would be worthwhile for you to take a cab or walk over to Berkely Square (about 15 mins walk) where you will see the Rolls Royce, Bentley, Ferrari showrooms - def worthwhile.

Check out below for location:
LondonTown.com | Berkeley Square Guide | Berkeley Square London, W1J, England, UK | London Streets by Street


There is no specific shop that does purely Scooby stuff in London as far as I know. I do believe there is a Subaru Dealership in Kensington, which would be the nearest to West End -

Bramley Kensington Sales | Subaru new car dealer/garage, Kensington Greater London. Free quotes.

Best of luck and let us know how it went!

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I am staying in S.Kensington, about 150ft from the lambo dealership.

Park Lane will see most of the big names, inc the Aston dealership you seek. Also as said Berk Sqr is cool with Jack Barclays on the corner of Bruton St.

George St off Edgware Rd has a high end hire shop there, had a Veyron in last time I passed.

But if you want to see loads of amazing cars, A217 towards Tadworth in Surrey is where you wanna be. Just before Banstead.....

So, apparently TVR doesn't actually make cars anymore? London TVR is no more unfortunately...the nice guy there explained that you can't even buy a TVR these days and they don't know what's going on with them.

So, unfortunately I had to look at some stupid junk cars like a white all-carbon Zonda F C12 clubsport (#14 of 25) and a wiesmann MF3 roadster.

I did manage to find Pole Position by Picadilly with all the motorsport merchandise. Pretty neat shop...too bad it was 70% ferrari stuff Can you guys recommend any other shops in the central london area where I can pick up a SWRT hat or maybe some toyota/MR2 junk?
