Vinyl in London, UK


Whats a good place for Classical,jazz LPs in London, UK ? My regular haunt on my infrequent trips to the UK is the HMV store on Oxford St.(cant get more touristy than that !) Would greatly appreciate any tips/advice from UK based audiogoners.

The best shop in London is Selecta Disc, 34/35 Berwick St. They sell new and second hand vinyl.

Other worthwhile haunts are charity shops - Oxfam, Cancer Research and British Heart Foundation are all good. Oxfam even clean LPs before sale! These are found in most neighbourhood shopping streets but not in Central London.

If you have a car and can get out of the city, car boot sales at the weekend can always yield the odd gem.

Expect prices to appear high at current exchange rates.
I lived in London for two months last year. I visited the Soho area almost every week. There are like 3 or 4 shops on Berwick streets. The one mentioned above at 34/35 Berwick is actually called Sister Rey. The stores there are not bad, but Music Exchange at Notting Hill is much better. There are two Music Exchange stores almost right next to each other. They are about one block from the Notting Hill tube station. If you have time, there's a flea market there as well. I think it's famous or something. I found it just follow the big crowd that's going through the residential neighborhood. You will also see a record store there on the street. They have good stuff, but charges like $300 - $500 per LP!
