My favourite by far: Rough Trade in Talbot Rd, Ladbroke Grove tube station. Nigel runs the shop.... an angel from heaven.

Flashback and Haggle Vinyl both on Essex Rd / Angel Tube
Sounds of the Universe - Soho
Reckless - (as mentioned above) 2 stores both on berwick st/soho
Oxfam - if you have the time and patience

The legendary Honest John's (too cool to have website): Honest John's Records, Portobello Rd, Ladbroke Grove 020 8969 9822

Although not a shop, no mention of the independent music scene in London would be complete without a plug for Ace: http://www.acerecords.co.uk/content.php?page_id=29

City Sounds (more for club-type DJ material, but they've been around for a long time so you never know what could lurk in the rack if you're in the area: http://www.city-sounds.co.uk/

Dharma's link is pretty useful btw - some good stores there.

edit: Although away from the centre, it's on the tube map, and is an essential visit if Jazz / Funk / "Rare groove" / "Northern Soul" is your thing: http://www.crazybeat.co.uk/

Phonica: http://www.phonicarecords.co.uk/

Oh, I get it now.....you're all talking about RECORDS.

.....and I was hoping for a thread about rubber corsets or something!

Ray's for jazz
Reggae Revive (Bob Brooks)
Honest Jon's (portabello)
out on the floor (in camden)
record fair at electric ballroom (if they're still doing it)
cmaden market stalls on the weekend

but your best bet, by far............EBAY
