Unfortunately not. Wish there was, though. 
As for Forbidden Planet, it's a great place to look around, but if you're thinking of actually buying stuff, I wouldn't bother going there, personally. Almost everything they sell is grossly overpriced, even by UK standards.

London City.....There are alot of 'collectibles' shops in the UK, not just Forbidden Planet. They're dotted around alot of places, we even have a shop in Norwich with some Sideshow, Weta, GG, and lots of other companies.
I'd imagine there'd be quite a few shops in London like that.
A few years ago i was in Shrewsbury on the way to my uncles house in Wales and found a shop full of SSW busts. It was the first time i'd seen alot of collectibles in one place and i got busts of Frodo, the Nazgul Steed and the High Elven. They also had the cave troll, Lurtz, and a few others.

Where about's in Norwich is this store.
I work in the city and would love to stick my head in there and have a look at what they've got on offer.

Yay a fellow Norfolker!
Yeah it's down that street near Waterstones. I noticed a SSW Lurtz bust, busts from GG of the Weasley twins and Tom Bombadil, some Sideshow Toy Story stuff (the smaller ones) and a Moria orc PF. There's quite alot and i might have missed some stuff as i was just looking for LOTR and Potter.

Yep, live on the coast in Caister.
Cheers mate, will take a look. There used to be a shop on Regent Road in Yarmouth that sold Sideshow stuff, i think it's still there if i remember rightly.
They mostly sold 12 inch line, don't think they had an PF's though.

I was really tempted to ask to see the moria orc, but knew they probably couldn't take it out of the packaging. Plus i don't collect PF's and i know i would have been doomed if i looked at it! But maybe the santa outfit would have put me off It was selling for £200 i think.

Do they have a 12" Delia Doll, that says "Where are you" and "Lets be havin you" when you pull the cord on her back?

So, back from London. To be honest, I am a little disappointed. Forbidden Planet has only three LOTR Items there. The guy there said, there is another Shop in St. Martin's Lane, which i found finally.
The only LOTR Items there were Barad-Dur and Minas Tirith from Danbury Mint, that were massively overpriced. ^^
