There are a number of great LP shops in adult/porn area in Soho, London.

And if the music is boring there are other attractions !!
Thanks

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!

Guys

Most of the stores you mention are very overpriced. Easily the best record store anywhere in the South East UK is the mighty Ben's Collectors Records in Guildford - it's about a 25 minute rail journey out of London:

Always stuffed full of good quality vinyl at a fraction of the prices that other supposedly "better" shops charge i.e. from £1 to £5 or so and I've yet to leave there without dropping less than £200...do say hi to the unfailingly affable Ben (or possibly Howard on a Sunday) and say hello from me!
