depends on the area:
central:
(soho)
uptown records
3 d'arblay st
w1f 8dh
blackmarket
25 D'Arblay Street,
London, W1F 8EJ
east:
rhythm division:
391 Roman Road, Bow
London - E3 5QS
independance:
55 LEE HIGH ROAD,
LEWISHAM
LONDON
SE13 5NS
south:
big apple has closed down but i read in an interview with skream or hatcha or someone that a new place has opened up to replace big apple?! but i cant remember the name or find anything about it
west:
>??????
the big daddy is rhythm division i think, thats the one that gets in all the dvds etc, then prob independance is second best, but if you are in the centre and cant be bothered to venture out then uptown is a good bet. cameo from 1xtra (used?!) to work there.
ps there are prob loads of shops for grime round london, but i dont know em.

uptown lazyness costs xtra, mind. havent seen the cameo for a while either but the J-SWEET works there too
ambrose is rhythdiv reaaally all that? indep kills it for 12s i reckon but i dont know about dvds. plus when i went there once i ws treddin in dred at visiting the heart of darkness BOW ITSELF and it turned out to be a delightfully twee pleasantville with mom n popses n florists and an antiques shop wot i bought a charming footstool in. heavy!
blackmarket should be struck off that list, and burnt down.

lol ive not been to RD or independance. i just went on reputation. i meant, they show shots of RD in the dvds n stuff.
blackmarket sucks, but i couldnt think of anywhere else.
hahaha maybe citysounds geta s grime tune in every 2 years or something
or release the groove!??!!??!! i dunno, i dont live in london, and i hate record shops so go figure

It's worth noting when going to these record shops, that there is likely to be alot of black people about so be sure to watch your wallet.
