London's First Permanent Gundam Base Store To Open This July

Bandai has officially announced the grand opening of the first permanent Gundam Base in London, creating a dedicated retail destination for fans of the Mobile Suit Gundam series.

This brand-new location serves as a massive expansion of the previous temporary pop-up store that operated throughout 2025 and early 2026.

Bandai has acquired an additional adjacent unit to significantly increase the overall floor space of the shopping experience.

The expanded retail environment will offer visitors a wide selection of exclusive Gunpla model kits that are normally restricted to official flagship stores.

Builders will finally have direct access to premium items like clear color variants, mechanical clear editions, and special coating kits without relying on expensive import services.

Fans can also likely look forward to purchasing limited-edition apparel, building tools, and accessories celebrating the long-running mecha franchise.

The interior will feature immersive displays and exhibition areas designed to showcase the intricate details of the plastic model kits.

These dedicated exhibit zones will allow fans to see professionally built and painted models up close before making a purchase.

The establishment of a permanent location marks a major milestone for the international expansion of the hobby brand.

Previously, fans in the region had to wait for limited-time events or conventions to purchase these exclusive items locally.

The success of the initial pop-up shop clearly demonstrated the strong demand for dedicated mecha modeling resources in the capital.

By doubling the size of the previous footprint, the store can now accommodate a much larger inventory and a greater number of daily visitors.

This permanent addition to the United Kingdom retail landscape provides a reliable hub for local builders and international visitors alike.

Gundam Base London will be conveniently situated within the Camden Market area, a popular destination known for its alternative culture and unique shopping experiences.

The shop is also located just a short distance from the existing Bandai Namco Cross Store.

This close proximity creates a concentrated shopping district for anime and manga fans exploring the capital city.

Visitors will be able to easily travel between the two official retail locations to find an incredible variety of hobby goods and arcade entertainment.

The new Gundam Base will officially be located at the Provender Building, taking over Unit 19 and 20 of the Stables Market on Chalk Farm Road, London, NW1 8AH.

The doors to this brand new permanent storefront are officially scheduled to open to the public on Friday, July 3, 2026.
