Antique scientific instruments
Arthur Middleton Antiques
This used to be the only specialist science shop in London but also the source of props for stage and film such as the globe, armillary spheres and astrolabes in Professor Dumbledore's study in the film Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
The Arthur Middleton shop in Covent Garden has closed. However the company is still in business in North London offering a wide selection of instruments from the history of laboratory science, navigation, astronomy and many kinds of technical measurement.
