Welcome to Compendia, the traditional games shop in Greenwich Market. Here you can buy board games, jigsaw puzzles, playing cards, dominoes and a range of fun bits and pieces.

We have a reputation for finding games that are difficult to get hold of like Skipbo, Set, Mexican Train dominoes, and Phase 10 cards from America and the Japanese board game Go.

You can also find family favourites such as tri-ominos and traditional British games including the cricket dice game Owzthat, Shut the Box and Shove Ha'penny

Our games rely mainly on mind power and occasionally some manual dexterity. We do not sell computer games or games that require batteries or plugs.

If you have any questions please give us a ring on 020 8293 6616. The shop is open from 11-5.30 seven days a week.

If you are coming to see us for something in particular you are welcome to ring ahead and reserve things that you want.
