          I'm looking to move house / flat. Anyone who needs a housemate or knows of a spare room, shout.

          I cook, clean and drink beer. Minimum requirements surely.

              Try American classic they got loads of red wings. last time i went there, there were SDA, sugarcane. It is worth to visit.

              ^Very nice store

              Vintage showroom at Earlham street also well worth a visit.

              Nigel Cabourn Army Gym at Henrietta Street, very very beautiful shop

              Cheers,
              David

                Hi guys,
                this might have been posted in the Real McCoy's tread already, but it might definitely be useful here too.
                The Real Mccoy's London store is to open at 15 Henrietta Street (Covent Garden), around 10-12 December time according to the facebook page.

                    Greetings folks!

                    I'm traveling to London for the 1st time in the upcoming week (from San Francisco).  Besides doing the all day tours, I want to check out some reggae clubs as well.  Would anyone here have any recommendations of which venue to check out?

                    Hopefully I get to visit Rivet & Hide and other cool shops.

                        Resurrecting this thread.

                        I haven't been to London since 1994 when I was stationed in England.  Planning on a trip beginning of December.  Any suggestions on what area to stay in and stores is appreciated.

                          Regarding stores (depending what you are into) and off the top of my head:

                          • Near Carnaby Street / Soho: American Classics / Great Frog / End Clothing / Foot Patrol / Maharishi / Place on Wardour Street that does JMM / Wood Wood

                          • Piccadilly: Snow Peak / Dover Street Market / Nearby is Jermyn Street (Trickers / Crockett and Jones)

                          • Mayfair: Drakes (Saville Row) / Real McCoys (now appointment only)

                          • Tottenham Court Road End of Oxford Street: Rivet and Hide / Lewis Leathers

                          • Between Oxford Street and Marylebone: Clutch Cafe

                          • Marylebone: Trunk Clothiers (great little store but only been there a few times) / Monocle / Various places that stock JMM

                          • Covent Garden: Honestly fuck all these days, except Crazy Pig (jewellery). American Classics has relocated to Carnaby St.

                          • Knightsbridge: Grand Seiko Store

                          • Shoreditch: Good Hood / Sneakerstuff / Various other stores that are also near Carnaby Street / used to be a great store on Rivington St but name escapes me (Sunnysiders I think)

                          • Truman Brewery (near Shoreditch), closest Tube is Liverpool Street: Various sample sales often at Truman Brewery / Son of a Stag / You Must Create

                          Hope that is helpful.

                            Thanks Cutlasshound.  That's really helpful.  Appreciate you taking the time to write it up.
                            Wondering if staying in Soho or around Oxford Circus is my best bet.

                              I would suggest Soho or Shoreditch to stay in, both are good locations to get around from and both have excellent food options

                                      • good record stores

                                        thanks in advance
