Says the man from Stoke!
Not many good record shops in London really, although there's a large concentration of second hand shops in Soho.
As for bars, there's the Marlborough Head and the Crowbar, maybe others too that I'm forgetting... |

If you wanna see muslims selling bullet belts Camden´s worth a visit 
First and only time I was in London I only saw that part and some bar from inside.
...Oh and I had to fuck around with guys like Pestkrieg  |

| I went to London in October, and was quite dissapointed... althought, there is a kind of cool place in a Camden market that has two floors and hard to find vinyls in the basement. I think it was called "Out on the Floor" but I am not too sure. There was another one located in the basement that had used CD's - which weren't too bad. Also, I saw some Anal Vomit in a Virgin megastore! WTF? I'll try to get you the addresses tonight. I wrote them out in a small book at home... |

We don't know the venue yet, or the date, but I do know Pagan Alter, Hell and the mighty Witchfinder General are confirmed. This will be the first show Dave and I have played together in 22 years.............and it's long overdue.

Yeps! Soho has a 2-3 stores but prices aren't friendly.... 10 pounds for some motörhead LPs and 20 pound for a Brocken Bones and not in a very good shape... What I do was to bought some shit on Ebay.co.uk and ask the sellers send the LPs to my hotel and I just picked up the stuff once I was there... In that way I get some good records for a few pounds...
You will find a pub in every corner If you are in Soho try to find the Intrepid Fox. A bit trendy pub but has a dark decoraton inside... good for some pics!
