The Astrology Shop

The Astrology Shop is a specialist astrology and spiritual goods shop on Neal Street in Covent Garden, a few steps from the Seven Dials junction. It is known above all for its computerised birth charts, calculated in the shop while you wait, and for a stock of crystals, tarot and astrology books that draws both practitioners and the simply curious.

The shop has traded on Neal Street for well over a decade and presents itself as a place for anyone with an interest in astrology, from first-time visitors wanting a personal chart to serious students after an ephemeris or a specific reference book. Its own website dates back to 2011, and the shop keeps an active presence on social media, where it posts its window displays and seasonal zodiac features and asks customers to check for holiday opening changes.

The astrology shop London stargazers know

Inside you will find crystals and gemstones, dozens of tarot and angel card decks, incense, feng shui accessories, candles, jewellery and dreamcatchers, alongside shelves of astrology books and annual ephemerides. The personalised horoscope service is the signature offering: give your birth date, time and place and the shop prints a chart on the spot. Staff are used to explaining the basics to newcomers as well as talking technique with regulars.

What to expect on a visit

The shop opens from 11am to 7pm every day of the week, outside holiday periods, and recommends a phone call or a look at its social channels for up-to-date hours. Leicester Square, Covent Garden and Tottenham Court Road stations are each a short walk away. It is one of the more unusual gift shops in Covent Garden, and Animetal on Endell Street is another independent specialist within a couple of minutes on foot.
