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.

Without doubt the finest record store in London, with the best selection. Even after moving down south I still do my record shopping there, and will always pop in when Im in town. Noreen and Marvin are great and nothing is ever too much trouble. Xx

I love Stranger Than Paradise, my bank account probably does not. But there can be something special about a record shop, and Stranger has it. There are records on my shelves that would not be there were it not for this shop, not just in terms of what they stock, but because they're the reason I gave the album a listen in the first place. 1970s Japanese psych, early 80s New York no wave, Swiss-Ecuadorian spectral country, jazz, droney stuff, reissues of albums that I've loved since (long ago) teengage years... Stranger's weekly email of new releases and restocks has become a starting point to find new music, trusting that their curation will regularly lead to discovering something that I love and would not have otherwise heard. And that's what a great record shop is meant to be, right?
