Rough Trade East is London's largest independent record store, located on the Old Truman Brewery just off of Brick Lane. Opening in 2007, the 5,000 sq. ft. record shop also features a cafe, free wireless internet, a huge selection of records, a few mac computers and a photobooth.

    It's alright. Good for instores, decent selection for records but a bit soulless. What London really needs is a record store to match Amoeba or Rasputin.

    Best record shop in London. It doesn't even matter if the bands are late starting, there's so much to look at. Every second you're in the shop you're in danger of spending all your money, but surely that's a good thing?! I can't think of a better way to spend my money than supporting a great record shop and the bands that I love. There are also the comfy brown sofas and internet capabilities. AND, there's a green chair, and if you sit in it your intelligence increases. I call it the Mastermind.

    The shop get some pretty good bands to play, usually it's a wristband dealie, but more often than not you can just turn up and head in.

    I also recommend the photobooth! It's £3 for a glossy print, and fun with your pals. Just ask for a coin at the counter.

    ALSO, I would recommend the fine eatery that is Nandos, a mere 2 minutes away from the shop. Nom nom nom!
