Stranger Than Paradise Records

One of my favourite record stores in the world . Small but expertly curated. Everything is good. Friendly vibes. Only new and reissued stuff so no dusty crates, if that’s what you’re after. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Dropped by last Monday with two friends... forgot they closed early that day... owner... more than welcoming... stayed open a bit long... great selection of vinyl and signed books at the counter... indulged in both... recommended...

Wow what an amazing place, helpful friendly people. I had a record in mind but I didn't know the artist they helped me remember, amazing. Some great event there as well. Good curated selection on the walls. Will be back again.

This record shop is curated to perfection and staff are friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. 10/10

Great intimate in-store performance - well organised by good people.

Superb choice and very friendly people working there! A great selection of avant-garde, psychedelic, jazz, soul, world music.. and good prices! Definitely my new fav store in London.

Amazing record shop, great selection and super friendly staff.

Located inside Mare Street Market find this trim bijou vinyl specialist. Showcasing all new vinyl, largely from boutique and independent labels and thoughtfully avoiding the "Hackney-ed", obvious and anodyne for the more adventurous, recherché and off-kilter. Researched and pinpointed stock curated by an astute and intrepid hand that doesn't shy away from cohabiting with the more outré fringes of most genres. The prices be high, perhaps mitigated by the expertise evident here while the staff are approachable, responsive and pleasant. This might be a relatively "new kid on the block" but this store already hold its ground amid the established players.
