London Record Shops?

Subject: London Record Shops? Wed Dec 03, 2014 1:53 am

Hi,
I'll be visiting London from the US between Christmas and New Year's. I was thinking of picking up a UK version of a Gaslight Anthem album or two. Does anyone have any recommendations for some good record stores to check out? We will be staying in Fitzrovia but can go anywhere in London convenient to the Tube.
Thanks!
- Liz

Thanks so much! I think I may have seen that first link, but when I searched on some of the stores' websites they didn't list any TGA albums. I wanted to be sure that if I went out of the way that they would have some. Do you think Berwick Street is the best place to go? If one store focuses more on a different style of music, that the next may have Gaslight? Ha, I've had that album for years and never knew were the cover was from.

Thank you! Looking forward to the trip!

I have no idea if any of them would have TGA vinyl. You could always email ahead. In any event, its just fun to browse and go from store to store. Berwick Street is right in the heart of London, near Picadilly Circus and up towards Oxford Street, so it's not like its out of the way.

Gotcha, wasn't sure if these were your local shops. I will definitely aim at fitting a visit in, I'm with my mom so not sure how much she will be into browsing. Either way, very much appreciate your help!!
