  • "The Moomin Shop shops is located in the heart of Covent Gardens"

    "The bigger Moomin shop in London, walking through the Covent Garden store felt like a miniature themepark with all of the Moomins related stuff as you walk up the stairs! Once inside the store, you are greeted with hundreds of Moomins items for sale, from books to toys, DVDs, cutlery and more! Prices are honest, if not a little high but this is to be expected for the prime Covent Garden location"

    "Love this shop as it brings lots of childhood nice memories"

    "Cool niche interest shop, amazing selection of moomin related gifts, it is however incredibly expensive but that said everything around covent gardens is so its just par for course at that point Worth looking if you're really interested in moomin or know someone who is, I found a lot I loved but not a lot I was willing to buy at the given price point!"

The Moomin Shop shops is located in the heart of Covent Gardens. It's a cute little shop and the emphasis is on little. From the outside, it would look like the shop as 2 floors. It turns out the shops is located on the first floor up a narrow set of wooden steps. Narrow enough to allow only one set of people going up or down. The walls of the shop are decorated with murals of various Moomins scenes, cute for an impatient child to power on their way up the stairs. Upstairs the shop is maybe 30 metre squared. It's totally packed with Moomins memorabilia and there's hardly any space to move around especially when people are moving in different directions. There's a reasonable range of toys, books, models and other gifts for fans of Moomins. Even some of the utensils and plates are child friendly. Very thoughtful and kudos for that. The shop isn't a fun place to shop though as it's too small and expensive. There's enough however to find just the right (Moomins) gift.

The bigger Moomin shop in London, walking through the Covent Garden store felt like a miniature themepark with all of the Moomins related stuff as you walk up the stairs! Once inside the store, you are greeted with hundreds of Moomins items for sale, from books to toys, DVDs, cutlery and more! Prices are honest, if not a little high but this is to be expected for the prime Covent Garden location. Having just come back from Finland and being Moonins obsessed however, this didn't stop me from buying a small treasure trove of Moomins items! The only downside is that the store can become VERY crowded at times. Its not the biggest place in the world and there are a lot more Moonins fans in London than I was expecting which led to people shuffling more than they could move. I'll definitly be back someday, most likely to try and complete my collection of Moomins DVDs. Kiitos!

Love this shop as it brings lots of childhood nice memories. They have lots of moomin items from kids spoons bottles and sleep suits to cushion, cups and trays. All with Moomin themes. Prices are really high but it nice to buy something to keep reminding me with my childhood. The shop decorations are amazing, And I would look to spend hours in it. Staff are nice and helpful.

A really cute Moomin-centered shop in the fun Covent Garden shopping area. If you’re a fan of the Moomin world you have GOT to check it out! Good range of items and prices, and a wide selection of characters as well. Note: Unfortunately, it’s not wheelchair accessible as everything is upstairs, and once you get there the walkways are pretty narrow.

  • Paul Campbell

Went to the Moomin Shop today and I have to say it's one of my favourite shops in London. The staff are so lovely and helpful and the choice is great. I always go in when I'm in the area and the staff always remember and say hello. I got some really lovely gifts today, preparing for Christmas!!! Just in case. Thanks Moomin Shop Covent Garden :)

I originally mistook the shop for representing my bwoi mumen rider (see image below), but was pleasantly surprised to discover moomin himself. Great shop if you're a fan with lots of merchandise. The real deal was actually there to take photos with! Would have been a five star rating if mumen was also there.

  • Lorna Crook

I absolutely loved this shop what a treat! So exciting to see all of the items Moomin products under one roof. It was beautiful and quaint and I felt spell bound with the place. Staff were professional and friendly as well as patient and knowledgeable with customers. Thank you for a lovely visit.

  • Bartłomiej Ufnal (Retro Renesans)

Brilliant place for adults and kids. If you are adult already then you will feel like a child! Totally awesome assortment with wide range of Choice. Place is quite small and unfortunately a lot of gadgets are expensive. Few cool spots for a photos

  • Foodlover Girl

We were walking around the Covent Garden when we spotted this shop. I am a big fan of Moomin, so I was delighted! We walked up the narrow staircase with excitement. The shop itself is rather small, so it was not easy to walk around with

  • Yaz

I had a brilliant time here, I loved watching moomin, so I’m incredibly glad that I got to see the store! The staff was extremely nice and I got some lovely merch! The decorations is extremely beautiful too! I absolutely recommend it!

  • Sylwia S.

Great place for all Moomin lovers! Easy to find. Lots of moomin gadgets. But I would like this store to be bigger - with more people inside watching things without rushing can be a problem. I prefer the second Moomin store in Camden.

  • Izzy S.

such a cute shop and lovely staff! so many adorable items and genuinely really good prices for what you get. lots of super affordable options (postcards and badges for 99p)! will definitely be going back :)

  • Jesse McIver

This moomin shop is a little small, but it has a good selection and great decoration! there was even a mascot, which we liked quite a lot. I was able to find most of what I wanted for a decent price!

  • Adventures of a Geography Teacher

Such a quirky and unique shop, that brought back memories of watching the moomins as a child. Lots of gift ideas and inspiration in store. I was gutted I could only find moomin socks for children.

  • TheHoptomist

A quaint, very cute little shop with a very sweet staircase leading up to it! It is absolute perfect for Moomin fans and for a son's mother's day present. Would give 6 stars if I could!

  • reptileman1965

Sorry as a wheelchair user I couldn't get into your shop so I can't give an accurate assessment of it. It has big steps to get in and I'm told that there are more steps inside.

  • Paulina Brzoska

I remember being obsessed with Moomin characters as a child and as strange as it is seeing it getting popular again, this shop is a must visit place for anyone feeling alike.

  • Olivia Trublowski

very cute little shop with a wide variety of moomin items. great for moomin fans though the shop is definitely a bit cramped so be wary of how many people head upstairs

  • Marie C

Such a cute little store, it is up on the second floor so if you have access needs I am not sure what the option is if you wish to purchase from the store

  • Worm Bee

Nice place we had been here few years ago! Not sure if still in Covent Garden as we Could not find during our recent visit!

Covent Garden shop is quite small and crowded (on Saturday afternoon), good range of stock though.

A bit on the small side so it gets crowded and hard to navigate quite easily but it's super cute!
