Record Shops in Hampshire

Hampshire’s record shops make vinyl hunting feel like a mini road trip, hopping from the Solent coast through Southampton and Winchester to smaller stops around Romsey, Andover, Petersfield and Bordon. In Southsea, Pie & Vinyl pairs new releases and collectable editions with a proper café vibe, making it an easy anchor for a day by the seafront. Around Southampton, Pizzicato Records in Botley is the kind of independent where you can browse classics and current pressings on vinyl and CD, then head inland to Hundred Records in Romsey for a mix of new and pre-owned stock and the occasional in-store performance. Winchester’s Elephant Records is a tucked-away gem for eclectic picks and thoughtful reissues, while The Record Box in Andover leans into well-graded second-hand racks and the odd music-adjacent collectible. Out towards the heath and South Downs edge, Russell’s Records in Bordon keeps the shelves broad and regularly refreshed, ideal for unplanned discoveries. Whether you’re threading New Forest lanes or stitching towns together by train, browse the Hampshire listings, pick a couple of centres, and let the crates set your route.
