Where to Buy Movie Posters in London
An up-to-date guide to buying movie posters in London in person and online — including which old favourites have closed, and where to go instead.
Quick answer: For affordable new movie posters with the widest selection, head to 98 Types Studio in Camden Market (Market Hall, Lower Floor, Stall 3) — 2,000+ designs from £3, 5.0★ from 245+ Google reviews, also available online at 98types.co.uk. For original vintage and rare film posters at collector prices, try Bamalama Posters in Farringdon.
London has a long history of dedicated movie poster shops, but the landscape has changed a lot in recent years — some of the old West End names have shut their doors, while Camden Market has become the city's main hub for both new and personalised film art. Here's where things actually stand in 2026.
Current Options
98 Types Studio — Camden Market
The most complete modern movie poster selection in London — over 2,000 designs spanning new releases, cult classics, anime, TV series and more, all printed on museum-grade satin paper. Prices start from £3 with buy-3-get-1-free, and same-day dispatch when ordering online. The Camden stall also offers personalised and custom film posters, made while you shop.
Best for: affordable new prints, gifts, personalisation, same-day collectionBamalama Posters — Farringdon
An established specialist gallery (12+ years trading) for original vintage and rare film and music posters, including UK quad posters and limited-edition signed prints. This is genuinely original, collectible material rather than reproduction art — expect prices to reflect that. A good stop if you're after something rare rather than affordable.
Best for: collectors, original quads, rare vintage printsThe Wider Camden Market Poster Scene
Beyond 98 Types Studio, Camden Market is also home to The 43 (illustrated typographic prints) and Forbidden Planet Camden (comics, manga and some posters). Worth combining into one trip if you're spending an afternoon exploring Camden. See our full Camden Market poster shop comparison for the breakdown.
