St. Martin's is probably the model shop you are thinking of. Directions to
the shop (95 St Martins Lane , London WC2) are on their web page -

I have been to the book store (but can't remember the name) which I believe
is right around the corner on one of the pedestrian walks between St.
Martin's Lane and Charing Cross Road - maybe Cecil Ct. or St. Martin's Ct.
Best Regards & Have Fun,
