Although cannabis is illegal in the UK, there are a wealth of UK head shops around the who sell a range of glassware, bongs, pipes girders and merch. All of which are designed for the consumption of hemp or cannabis. While you can certainly purchase a lot of the equipment from corner shops, we feel that the humble UK head shop is the keystone community for when cannabis is legalised. These guys have unrivaled knowledge and passion for the plant we all love!
So, before the cannabis wave hits vape shops and all kinds of businesses trying to cash in on the green buck we wanted to write an informational post about a wide range of head shops across the UK who are worth visiting and spending your money with.
So without further ado – here are the best head shops from London to Edinburgh!

The Dragon Head Shop in London is seemingly an online shop based in London which sells a huge range of bongs and other equipment which will help you explore the wonders of the herb.
We decided to include the Dragon Head Shop in our selection based on the good reviews and the wide range of products on their website. We’re sorry to say that the website needs to be updated but it seems like a trustworthy brand to use!
If you are local (or visiting) central London then the Soho Smoking Hemp shop may be a great place to stop by. We have been personally and can say that they are friendly and have a huge range of products to sell.
It is set in the busy and progressive Soho district which is easy to access and walk through when visiting north of the Thames.
