Forbidden Planet (shop)

Forbidden Planet was a chain of shops in the 21st century which sold science fiction and horror books, DVDs, comic books and audio plays. It took its name from a 1950s science fiction film.

In 2015, there was a Forbidden Planet megastore on Shaftesbury Avenue in London. Andy Hansen often visited it. (PROSE: In Search of Doctor X)

Behind the scenes
The real life Shaftesbury Avenue megastore was used as the basis for the fictitious Prohibited Sphere Megastore in The Fourth Wall.
