Looking for a place to spice up your night or pick up something special? London’s erotic shops range from classy Soho boutiques to hidden Camden gems. This guide shows what to expect, how to choose the right shop, and which of our posts can help you plan the perfect visit.
Most shops are clean, well‑lit and staffed by people who know their toys. You’ll find lingerie, vibrators, lubricants, bondage gear and sometimes private rooms for testing. Prices vary – a basic silicone wand can be under £20, while a premium BDSM set may top £200. Ask the staff for recommendations based on your budget and experience level.
Cash, cards and contactless payments are common, and many shops offer discreet packaging. Look for a clear return policy – reputable stores let you return unopened items within a week.

Bring a short list of what you need. It saves time and helps staff guide you straight to the right shelf. If you’re new, start with basics: a quality vibrator, a small bottle of water‑based lubricant, and maybe a fun piece of lingerie.
Keep your receipt, especially for pricey items, and test electronics in the store before you leave. Most shops let you try toys on a demo model – return anything that feels off right away.
