Reviews of The Tintin Shop

N. R.

I absolutely loved this store, as a huge fan of Tintin, the store was everything I wanted it to be. Being from the US, we don't have anything close to a Tintin shop, it was amazing to see all the comics, figures, etc. in person. I will say everything is pretty pricey, however we were able to grab a couple key chains and postcards for a reasonable price.

This is a really wonderful little shop hidden in Covent Garden. Tintin fans are sure to love this store filled with comics, model cars, figurines and so much more. The lady who runs the store was very kind to us, and the conversation we had made it clear she must really love Tintin.

I took my son to The Tintin Shop yesterday. The assistant was extremely helpful (T-shirt sizes) and had a little chat with my daughter. All-in-all, visiting the shop was a lovely experience.

The Tintin shop is a must for fans of the comic book. If you can't get to the Tintin stores in Belgium, then this is possibly the next best thing. Everything related to Tintin, books, models, postcard, t-shirts are all available here. Having been to the Tintin stores in Belgium and Singapore, this particular store is very small in comparison. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of Tintin memorabilia here, but I've been to comic stores in Belgium with bigger Tintin collections. Prices are also pretty high, even considering it's a specialist store and in covent gardens.

I've Been To The Disney In The West End Summer Pop Up Shop In London Last Year Back In August 2018 And For This Year On Friday 26th July 2019 And It Was Super Awesome. X

Fantastic shop and going for over 30+ years, just joy of things to look at and buy. Of course, dog friendly, and Owner very friendly.

Wow what a wonderful little shop hidden away round the back if Covent Garden. A definite must for all Tintin (and Snowy of course) fans.

Visiting London in a few weeks. Was looking forward to going to this shop as a big Tintin fan. Not so sure now after reading all the dreadful reviews. But I will and will report my findings on here. One thing I will never tolerate is rudeness especially from shop/restaurant staff. So owner beware. Cross me and you will be sorry. It costs nothing to be nice to people, especially if they are giving you money. Having now visited the shop I must say I was impressed by the shop, its range of merchandise and the lady who served me. Nothing was too much trouble. I would on the basis of my visit recommend it.

Have very fond memories of going here as a kid. It's still as wondrous as ever. Their online shopping experience is superb. Lightning fast courier delivery. Wonderful service!

I missed visiting the store because I didn't know I was visiting the UK during a bank holiday, but I can say that their online service was excellent. Fast shipping, quick delivery even across the pond, their notebooks are great, and they even sent along some stickers and a bag - thank you!

Brilliant little shop, with lots of TinTin nick nacks. I loved the activity pack we brought home for our 8year old but ended up half the family having a go at the quiz! Very knowledgeable polite staff and well worth a visit. You will not go away empty handed! (Have been to shops in Paris and Brussels too, always something to find!)

Ordered one of the resin models as a gift on the Wednesday morning and it arrived on the Thursday afternoon! It was very carefully packaged and arrived in pristine condition. The quality of the model and the attention to detail is excellent. I've ordered items a few times from the store and the service has been consistently good, I'll continue to place orders and will visit in person if I'm ever in London.

Today I visited the Tintin shop at floral street, I have been visiting this shop since 2000,, its kind of my annual pilgrimage (as my daughter likes to put it), in each visit I picked up few things to add on my collection. The staff has been helpful, friendly and polite. Though they do not really allow you to take much photograph inside the shop. There is so much to see and buy, wish I had lot of money. Normally I keep aside my birthday and Christmas gift cash and spend it here. I see some comments here about the staff being rude, however being an Asian I never experienced such however my experience always been good and friendly, and that is the reason I like to visit the shop. Off course I have been reading Tintin since I was a little boy, may be 1974 or before. Keep up Tintin shop, I look forward to visit you again during my Annual visit to the UK

I was hesitant at first to visit the shop after hearing some less than satisfactory reviews of it, particularly regarding the store's apparent rude owner. But being a Tintin fan, I had to go no matter what. As I entered I saw 2 people, a man and a woman (the latter I think was the owner, going by the descriptions I've read), behind the counter packing things into boxes. I was served by the man and he was just your typical shop assistant but he was very nice. The woman was mainly in the back room but when she did appear she was singing along to the tunes playing in the store or chatting to her assistant. Maybe she's changed her tune for the better since the last reviews were posted or I just caught her on a good day, who knows? Anyway, regarding the shop: it is small, but it is well organised. Some stuff is a little pricey, like the figurines, but it is good quality stuff. (Eg the Snowy plushie I purchased came in its own fancy box and was really soft and cute and I love him to bits.)

I’m a big Tintin fan and I was excited to know that there’s the Tintin shop in London. But I was hesitant due to the bad reviews, claiming that the owner is rude. I decided to check that out and I had no issues at all. I left the shop with a few action figures and a smile on my face. I would go there again.

I've been visiting this shop and buying from their website for years. I disagree with other reviews on here as I always receive a warm welcome in the shop and items ordered via the website are despatched quickly and well packed. The odd time I've had an issue they've resolved it promptly and with courtesy. What people need to remember is that this shop is like a small boutique and many of the items they sell are fragile and/or limited edition. It isn't 'Toys R Us' and therefore you need to respect the shop for what it is. I've seen it myself when I've visited where visitors are picking things up that clearly have 'do not touch' signs on them and then get mardy when they are reprimanded. Whilst I don't condone poor service also understand that they must get sick to death of people simply going in to pick things up and rifling through things with little or no intention of buying. The prices reflect the time and quality that goes into producing these goods, many being collector's pieces. It isn't a toy shop.I speak as I find and have loved this little gem of a shop for many years. I'm not associated with the store or the staff but after reading some of the negative reviews i felt they were unfair and inaccurate.

k. n.

I read a lot of negative comments from others, but being a tintin fan since i was a kid, i still had to make the visit 😂😂😂 Went once but too late as the shop was closed at 5.30. Went again another day and was pleasantly surprised that the woman who attended to me was quite nice. She even opined that the size i chose wouldnt fit me and brought out another from inside the store. Agree that the price is a bit on the high side but being a niche market, it needs to otherwise will have gone under which will be a big loss to fans. Plenty of items from books, tees, figurines, souvenirs etc to choose. Would not mind visiting again if have the chance. 🤗🤗🤗

Little gift store near covent garden. Good to stop by if you are a fan of Tintin. Though it's quite small, it's actually specialized in the selection of Tintin goods and images. I found it interesting.

S. P.

Had a great experience with an older gentleman who was an excellent salesman and very informative. The negative reviews must be from people who clearly are expecting a massive shop stacked to the rafters with simpering employees - This is a proper little gem and filled with good people.

C. H.

A delightful surprise, somewhat off the beaten track between Soho and Oxford St. This shop stocks all things related to the famous Belgian detective and his dog, not just soft and hardback copies of the comics but calendars, mugs, stationary, figurines and soft toys. A gift shop adventure for all Tintin lovers!

D. L.

The store is a little small but for Tintin fans it has pretty much everything you would want, including books in French. I had no issues with service.

B. H.

Everything the Tintin enthusiast could ever want in London! You can get copies of all the Tintin titles, including long-forgotten early editions such as Tintin in the Land of the Soviets. Keep an eye for the inexpensive souvenirs - the keychains and posters make wonderful gifts!

R. P.

I have received a gift from this store. It was a beautiful card ordered by my brother. I liked it very much. The paper-cutting was very pretty. A good store to shop from!

A. H.

Great little shop :)

If you're a fan of Herge's Tintin this place is a must visit if you're in the area. They have a unique stock of items and are in a great location. Give it a try.

I walked into the store, but the saleswoman was talking on the phone and pretended that I did not exist. After reading the reports about the quality of the service, I even thought it was good that she pretended that I did not exist ... rsrs

Absolute Lengeds! the shop clerks were fun to interact with and their website shop is extremely kind and helpful, recently had one figure sent wrong and they are already on it fixing the issue!

K. U.

First of all a great selection of Tin Tin merchamdise, however I also discovered that the lady behind the counter is unfriendly and very abrupt to the point of being rude.

D. R.

I’m a big fan of Tintin so was so excited when I found this shop, great and superb shop.

A. J.

It's my favorite souvenir shop, with very friendly staff, and their prices are cheaper than some other shops around this area.

D. B.

Brilliant selection of Tintin goodies! Wish I could have afforded more!

J. G.

A beautiful and nice shop with a great variety of Tintin memorabilia. Very friendly staff.

(Translated) A Tintin shop in Coven Garden is the winning duo !! What I love is the t-shirts and sweatshirts. But for the biggest fans, the figurines are the most important and very pretty. To have ! Thanks to Velerie and Jackie for their advice. (Original) Une boutique Tintin dans Coven Garden c'est le duo gagnant !! Moi ce que j'adore c'est les tshirts et les sweatshirts. Mais pour les plus grands fans, les figurines sont le plus important et très jolies. À voir ! Merci à Velerie et Jackie pour leurs conseilles.

(Translated) A small store hidden in a side street, I love it. If someone is a fan of Tintin this is the place for him. You will find comics, figurines and other gadgets here 🤩 (Original) Mały, schowany w bocznej uliczce sklep, uwielbiam takie. Jeśli ktoś jest fanem Tintina to miejsce dla niego. Znajdziesz tu komiksy, figurki i inne gadżety 🤩

(Translated) Very small shop, few products, but ideal to find a comic, a keychain or a figurine. Despite the small size and the little variety in the products on offer it was cute to see. (Original) Très petite boutique, peu de produits dérivés, mais idéal pour trouver une BD, un porte clé ou une figurine. Malgré la petite taille et le peu de variété dans les produits proposés c'était mignon à voir.
