Reviews
A very nice place to dig records. And a very helpful and nice seller. 💜 …
Located inside Mare Street Market find this trim bijou vinyl specialist.
Showcasing all new vinyl, largely from boutique and independent labels and thoughtfully avoiding the "Hackney-ed", obvious and anodyne for the more adventurous, recherché and off-kilter.
Researched and pinpointed stock curated by an astute and intrepid hand that doesn't shy away from cohabiting with the more outré fringes of most genres.
The prices be high, perhaps mitigated by the expertise evident here while the staff are approachable, responsive and pleasant.
This might be a relatively "new kid on the block" but this store already hold its ground amid the established players.
Friendly, good stock and decent prices. My Hackney go-to for new releases and special orders.
Fantastic record shop run by lovely people. Extensive and thoughtfully curated stock of existing and new releases/reissues. Really strong across multiple genres, in particular jazz, psych, international, electronic, as well as folk and country. Always interesting new stuff/reissues on the walls - very hard to leave without buying something! And very friendly staff who really know their stuff. Best record shop in London for new vinyl? Very possibly.
Whenever I go here the people running the shop are always kind and happy to chat and they all make me feel really comfortable.
The selection is fantastic, always uncovering something interesting to take home. I feel proud to be a customer.
Amazing record shop, very cool location and relaxed atmosphere and staff super friendly and really treat customers well. Have been a regular for years and they always make an effort if there is a items out of stock to try to find a copy and strong communication on orders. Great selection/range of records too..highly recommended !
I do not know about good albums, but enjoyed so much the place to relax and had a good time for food and drink.
Such an embracing brunch space, perfect to catch up with your close ones. The restaurant staff was very warm and friendly. I felt very comfortable and visually stimulated with the aesthetics of this place. The pizza, the drinks, and specially the honey, oat latte I was delighted with. I mentioned I am very specific with my coffee and it was like I made it myself.
Some business like this have pretentious staff, this was not one of them. I will be here with my friends for our weekly catch up, surely.
