I used to live in London, spent a lot of time around Denmark St, British Museum,Got those already...
But in London, one of my favourite things to do is to browse through the west-end music shops. And it's a much more meaningful exercise if you go with a MISSION!
The classic area to explore is around Denmark St in the West end. It's not quite what it once was, but it still has eye-candy.
But my inexpensive Reso come from Hobgoblin Music in Rathbone Place, a few minutes walk away near Soho. It's a very cool shop to explore interesting acoustic instruments, and I spent an enjoyable hour playing there. Being part of a national chain, prices are quite reasonable.
It travelled back with me safely to Aus and it's now my favourite non-electric player. I'd like to put a P90 in there...and maybe a lav mic....
bookshops like Treadwells and Atlantis, Forbidden Planet.
Last time I saw Denmark St it was largely closed down because of major rail works,
I have heard its back but have not seen it recently.
Funny old place the internet, you chat to someone 1000 miles away and find you have a lot in common.
