Excellent selection of vinyl and books. If you can't find it ask Michael and he can dig it out for you. Great coffee as you dig. The soul nights and live bands are an extra touch. Best shop in London.

Although it is what it says it is (a book and record shop)I had a wonderful evening of live music in this cute and quirky shop. It was the first of a monthly session of music, Great organisers, beautiful people, the owner is a wonderful human. One toilet and only a few seats incase that's important. Love this area of West Norwood. This is as magical shop when the night comes in the music begins (at least monthly!)

Hell of a place - huge variety of vinyl and books, all curated by the expert, benevolent owner.

Digger's delight!!!This record and book shop is crammed floor to ceiling with treasure and undiscovered gems.. Be prepared to search through the huge amount of stock and you will be rewarded. Visiting on a Sunday, I had a great time chatting with the lovely guy working called Dorian, I was more than pleased with the vinyl and CD's I picked up. One of the best record shops I have been to in London \(๑╹◡╹๑)ノ♬

Soul Night once a month. Dancing till 2am to top tunes. It's a small venue so gets very hot. Limited capacity. Cheap entrance. Cheap drinks. Good tunes. Friendly and a great local asset.

Best second hand record shop in South London. Its a bar (yes that means beer in hand whilst you shop) and coffee shop full of Vinyl and books both specialist and mainstream in both media's and a venue, even can be described as a community hub. It has live music sometimes but also puts on some killer DJ nights and the place is cleared of the racks of vinyl and then packed full of happy friendly people dancing their socks off. The owner is a super cool, friendly and approachable guy only happy to help.Uniquely in the corner is a live Radio station WNBC London, it's not uncommon to see a famous face broadcasting live when you visit on a Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. 100% worth a visit even to grab a great coffee and soak in some nostalgia of the vinyl, the owner Mike says he's happy when people come in to just look for nostalgic reasons. Located in an old pub about 3 mins walk from West Norwood main line rail station with fast links to London Victoria. You got to vist and experience.

Great selection of second hand vinyl and some new gems too. Very knowledgable and helpful owner. Coffee and fully licensed bar. With a very good selection of second-hand books and a monthly club night, radio station and a stick-it-on night (bring 3 records to play) it's great hang out spot, day or night.
