Alan's sounds like a nice shop. Great prices and quality finds. I like the look of the the Little Record Shop. I have heard of Upside Down. You guys have some really nice shops over there. I appreciate you sharing them all~ Rob/Boston
There are some really fine shops and it is probably a good thing most of them are on the other side of the city from me. I won't get too carried away! There's plenty to explore here whatever the case. Cheers!
Excellent stuff. I can confirm Rise Above well worth a visit, the best ones are always a little away from the main drag. The Crouch End Flashback also and I'm a fellow South Londoner. You have to schlep to get the best stuff!
@tidybear101 I think it's probably best that way. If I had one of those shops on my doorstep, it could end in disaster. And it's a nice way to explore the nooks and crannies of the city. Cheers!
I would love to visit London and go record shopping(and also stop at a Pub) someday. Here in Los Angeles, Southern California there are too many record stores and record shows it can be a blessing or a curse because I spent lots of money $$$$$ !! ✌🎼🎶🎵
@johnmoreno96 I bet it's easy to get carried away... fortunately I don't have a shop right next door, but there are plenty of pubs, so you've given me a bright idea for this sunny evening. Cheers!
This couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m in London Saturday. I tend to do Soho, have a few beers & then I’m incapable of branching out I’m determined to hit the E2 postcode Saturday so Atlantis sounds great.Then I can hit Flashback Shoreditch (which I’ve never been to)& World Of Echo..which is more post punk, but a lovely little shop, it also means I can hit up some bagels too! Thanks so much for this!
Perfect timing!... you might get sidetracked by all the trendy bars, but definitely head east... there's so many record shops there, they just appear like mushrooms after a night of heavy rain. I even found myself in one in an a remote industrial estate in Hackney Wick... it's crazy! Have a great visit.
Excellent video - the only one of these I regularly frequent is Upside Down Records in Deptford (round the corner from where I work!) - maybe I will catch you in there one day? I've picked up a few nice cuts from there....
You never know!... It's a good place, if a little hit and miss at times. That's the good thing about having a local shop, you can be in the right place at the right time. Cheers!
Great video. I will hit up all these stores next time i am visiting London. If you ever come to Stockholm where i live and are looking for rare Soul and Jazz. Visit Record Mania on the street where i live. It is amazing.
@@melomano4145 Yea they know what they have and what it is worth. So no bargins i guess. But i have found some real gems there over the years. It is a 2 min walk from my apartment. Dangerous indeed :)
The best area is probably Hackney in east London. There, you can find Eldica, Atlantis Records, Love Vinyl, Yoyo Records, and many more. They will have the things you like. I'm not sure of the exact addresses, but you can find them on Instagram or Google. The closest stations are Hoxton and Dalston Junction on the London Overground (the orange line), but it's even easier if you hire a bicycle to get from place to place. Hope that helps.
Good video. I don't get into London (I'm south) much these days. I remember Haggle Vinyl in Islington (long gone) and all the Hanway Street record shops sadly closed a few years back. I wonder if you know Arch Records (within the Sugahill café) on Sydenham Hill?
@brucevair-turnbull8082 yes I've been to sugarhill cafe a few times. Some good stuff there. There's a long list of long gone shops. It would be interesting to see a map of London's ghost records shops. Cheers!
@@melomano4145 One shop which resurrected itself is Revolution Records on Penge High St. I used to go in there in 1977 to look at all the punk singles. Two years ago it returned.

I do need to get down to London sometime soon. Thanks Lawrence for a great video of recommendations. 🙏
They're all well worth a visit and a good chance to get out of the typical postcard areas of London. Cheers!
Rise Above records in Highgate is a gem. Maybe not the cheapest but quality of stock wise, hard to beat.
@@garethfitzpatrick3932 I've heard great things about that place, but never been. I think it's time for another exploration up north. Cheers!

It's a famous place... it must be great to have it on your doorstep, but perhaps a little dangerous... you can easily get carried away. Cheers!

Great records 👍😉
Thanks Zal, if you ever pass through London, there's some great places to find records like this.
@@melomano4145 , thanks 👍😉
Is it possible you give me the adress of the shop In London and tell me in which zone of London we can find some shops like that ? thanks .

Haha! So true about the toilet.
It's the absolute truth!
