The UK Record Shop Directory
The UK Record Shop Directory is a resource for record collectors looking to discover, explore and support record shops across the UK. Having spent his formative years working in, and later owning record shops, founder Martin has a passion for not just vinyl records, but the unique and essential cultural role played by record shops.
The aim of this directory is to provide a one-stop-shop for finding record shops in every town and city. Whether you’re looking for undiscovered gems near you, or need to get your vinyl fix when on your travels.
