Discover your future at Mysteries

At the Mysteries shop in Covent Garden, they've been indulging in all sorts of new age nonsense since 1982, and they're still going strong, offering psychic readings, classes in creative mediumship, reiki and tarot and a range of books and other things.


Though your author isn't really a fan of the cult of celebrity, their list of famous customers is intriguing, covering people as diverse as Donna Air, Billy Bragg, Naomi Campbell, Jimmy Cliff, Alanis Morrisette, Jimmy Nail and 'Harry Potter', though your author was sure the latter was fictional.

The shop is situated at 9-11 Monmouth Street, Covent Garden, and is open daily, with rather odd opening hours (Mondays, 10.02 - 18.55 etc). A half hour psychic reading costs £35. For more information, visit http://www.mysteries.co.uk/.
