New record store to open in London this month
News
A new record store is opening in London in August.
Next Door Records will open in Shepherd’s Bush on Wednesday 12th August as a store, bar and café. After smashing its crowdfunding target of £3000, the three-man team behind the store promise to provide a “mixture of new and vintage vinyl which will span a variety of sounds for both the living room and the dancefloor.”
The record store also hopes to host live music and DJ events, book launches, exhibitions and workshops in future.

In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, record stores have been allowed to open in the UK since June. During lockdown, an interactive map was developed to show what independent record stores were still operating in a limited capacity, and how you can buy from them. In that time, Bristol record shop Idle Hands issued a stark warning on how the pandemic might affect small, independent businesses.
Earlier this year, a new record store and dubplate cutting house, Disc World, opened in New Cross, south east London.
