Looking for record stores in a particular town or city, or planning a crate-digging day out while you travel? This is your starting point for browsing every multi-shop town hub in our UK directory — from major music cities like London, Manchester, Liverpool and Brighton to smaller towns with a strong independent scene.
Our town hubs cover places with two or more verified record shops, organised alphabetically so you can jump straight to the towns worth a dedicated visit. Each hub lists the shops in that town with addresses, maps, opening details and links to their websites and socials.
Find record shops in your town
Pick a town below to see every record shop we have listed there. Whether you are after new releases, rare original pressings, second-hand bargains or specialist genres like jazz, soul, reggae, dance and hip-hop, the town pages make it easy to plan which shops to visit first and how to group them into a walking or day-trip route.
Planning a record-shopping trip by town
Many of the shops in our directory take part in Record Store Day each April, with exclusive pressings and in-store events, and a lot of them host gigs, signings and listening sessions throughout the year. Opening hours vary from shop to shop, so it is always worth checking individual listings before you set out and grouping nearby shops together so you can comfortably visit several in a day. If you prefer browsing by wider area instead, see our Regions index.
