Warning: contains minor spoilers for Good Omens Season 2
The set for season two of Good Omens is a complete entity – you can walk up and down Whickber Street, browse the record shop, the magic shop, and of course Aziraphale’s bookshop, and even stop for a coffee at Give Me Coffee Or Give Me Death. It has a genuinely magical feel to it, and an extraordinary amount of care has gone into making every detail part of the show’s world. Take a walk with us, and we’ll explore just a few of its hidden secrets.
Aziraphale’s Bookshop: Crossroads, a Compass & Cocoa
