Prowler’s flagship Soho store is a gay shopping mecca selling books, magazines, clothes and ‘lifestyle accessories’ (with or without batteries). There’s also a discreet ‘Blue Room' in the back with the usual array of DVDs and magazines, but the overall feel is of a respectable (kinda) gay department store.
