Forbidden Planet Cambridge

I adore this place.
A haven for my comic/fantasy/Manga loving offspring.
Amazingly knowledgeable and kind staff.

Added bonus, warm in winter and arctic aircon in the high heat of summer. 😁

A comic and scifi store on Burleigh Street, walking distance from Parkers Peice. Fairly well stocked. Sale on when I visited.
Ground level accessible, though no automatic doors (which could be useful for wheelchair users).
Toilets are in the nearby the Grafton Centre.

What a gem! Stumbled upon this shop by accident (anything with forbidden in the name gets my immediate attention), what an amazing accident it was. Wealth of manga, sci-fi, cards, action figures... just go and check it out.

Geek and nerd items galour! Great stock and selection on everything from comics, manga, figures or card games just to name a few!

Good staff and manager here, always helpful in finding new things or upcoming release dates or just to chat with and nerd out.

The staff are so helpful here, it is only a small store but what they dont have you can order it

The staff were nice (didn't misgender me) and I got this really great comic book! Trans rights! 🏳‍⚧✨

A place with a lot of mangas, komiks and tinny figures. Workers are so friendly and polite with smile. If you are looking for good manga go there, it's 90% that you will find it. If you're lucky you can get a occasion/promotion for special mangas
(f.ex. Banana Fish, 3 for 2)
Overall rating: 9.5/10

It's basically what I expected and a bit more. Quite a lot of manga, comic books, figurines, Warhammer stuff and not the largest selection for Magic: The Gathering I've seen, but that's me comparing.
They do host Magic nights which was cool and everyone was helpful and friendly, since it was my first time going to one and playing draft.

There's a lot of food places nearby too.

Great selection of all things pop culture and nerdy! Books, games, collectables and clothes this place has it all. Its a fantastic shop for gifts for a family and there it something at pretty much every price point.

I bought the ace light novel that I couldn't find in my home country. The staff was nice and understanding. The shop has a variety of mangas and comics, training cards and other stuff.

Marvellous place for all the geeky people like myself and family. I feel really at home here

Novel and comic store with speciality of having comic character figures & toys. The price was almost same as Amazon.
Unique place in Cambridge, UK.

The team are great and very helpful with the manga.

They even host FNM if you are into MTG.

For all your geek needs, FB is great!! Very friendly staff who really know their Doctor Who from their Doctor Strange.

A dangerous shop to enter close to payday. Especially if you're into multiple fandoms and genres of geekdom. I managed to escape with *only* one t-shirt this time, but my Christmas list for the next decade is full of ideas. Staff are really great and friendly and there's always someone who knows about what you're after and can chat with you about things.

Great selection of manga, board games and card games. Super friendly staff too

Lots of different interesting stock here. I particularly enjoyed the selection of tarot cards and the gaming cookbooks!

This is the best iteration of Forbidden Planet in Cambridge yet! We'll stocked, competitively priced, and knowledgeably run. It's great to be back in Blighty and have Forbidden Planet back on my doorstep!

It's a fabulous shop. Always worth I look on their sale shelf. £1 can buy you a great graphic novel.
Lovely friendly staff

Amazing staff! Great with children and adults who have autism. Definitely recommend to all my family and friends!
