Bletchley Park Gift Shop for Code Crackers and Cryptographers

Bletchley Park's online shop has hundreds of gifts for people interested in code cracking and cryptography.

Books and CDs for children and adults on code breaking and the history of codes and the wartime work at Bletchley Park.

For the historian of science there are limited edition prints and photographs with many signed. You will find images of the Enigma Cipher, the Colossus MkII and the Decode Room in Hut 6. You can also own an original piece of slate from the Bletchley Park mansion roof.

The gifts section has some attractive mugs such as the Colossus "Plug" Mug and Coaster and a variety of souvenirs such as keyrings and mousemats, posters and greeting cards.

The shopping cart is a bit old-fashioned and worth looking through the subsections so as not to miss anything, but as children (and adults) love to make and break secret codes, you'll find some unique gifts here at Bletchley Park.
