I knew about Shoreditch’s rough trade, but bumping into this was a surprise, and what a great one. For all edgy music lovers, it’s definitely a must. My tips? Get in there, ask what’s playing and note it down. Then check the poster on the wall where with their best albums of the year (so far)…Select 2 or 3 records that you haven’t heard of, and ask to listen to them… big chance you’re going home with records under your arm.
Just being here and digging is a perfect hour spent on a saturday afternoon. 5 stars, all the way.

Great record shop if you are on the west end of the city… Much smaller than Rough Trade East, though. Convenient if you want to pop in after the portobello road markets.

I’m a big music buff so whenever I’m around East or West London I always pass away the time but looking in to the many range of records and books. It now also has a little café in the entrance. My favourite thing about this place is not just the location but the fact they do daily in store gigs with some of the newest and most established bands in town. If you look up on the ceiling at one part of the store you’ll it has been signed by every international musician that has played there.

The original Rough Trade and still the best. Visiting this independent record store is a bit like time travel; when I first arrived in London this is what all good record stores were like: crammed with records and scruffy men browsing through the sections for hours. It now only gets really packed on Record Store Day when collectors queue around the corner to grab one of the special editions or watch a band perform on the pavement outside.

Rough Trade is atremendous
record store. The café at the front side is best except you are looking for a
place to stay without eating or drinking booze, and in that case you should be
prepared to sit on uncomfortable chairs.

Tras pasear por Portobello y acabar harta de la gente y el bullicio, los timos y la poca esencia que le queda a esta mercado uno descubre grandes lugares como Rough Trade.
La tienda grande se encuentra en Brick Lane pero aquí, en Nothing Hill tienes esta pequeña maravilla de dos plantas. Puedes encontrar en ellas muchas cosas, desde las más actuales hasta grandes joyas del pasado. Se trata de una tienda de segunda mano de discos, vinilos, libros, etc y todo para los amantes de la música.
Lo que más me gusta es que puedes probar los discos para ver si se escuchan bien bien y que fuera, estén las carátulas, porque los discos los tienen dentro para que no los robes :) una gran idea!!! así no todo el mundo pone sus manazas en ellos!
Puedes encontrar muchos de los discos que la propia compañía lanzaba desde los ochenta!

Wicked shops for picking up some fairly well priced records.

A trailblazing independent record store that helped spawn some of the best indie bands.
Though lacking the space of it’s eastern sister store it’s got the original charm and knowledgeable staff which make the scrum worthwhile…

Definitely not as big or as sexy as its new sister shop on Brick Lane, Rough Trade West (as it is now being called) is the epitome of hole-​in-​the-​wall record shop. You can barely turn around in there for how tightly everything is packed together, but you could spend hours thumbing through the 7-​inches. But because it doesn’t attract quite as much attention as Rough Trade East, it’s a much more relaxed setting. You don’t feel awkward taking your time to try out a record before buying, and there’s no pressure while browsing. True, there isn’t the same selection of books or paraphernalia, but you could pass a lot of time just chatting to people about different albums and gigs. Granted, if you’re looking for the latest Take That, or a hard copy of the X-​Factor winner’s new single, you aren’t going to find it here. But if you’re into the kind of stuff that confuses the employees at HMV, you’d be right at home at this cramped little shop.

The fact than any independent record shop still exists should be applauded, but this is the one that set the standard. The same guy (Nigel) runs the place and it is still the first place to go for hard to find importas and the cutting edge of independent music. Forget Bön Jovi or Gwen Stefani — you won’t find music like that here. No visit to Portobello is complete without a trip here.

Rough Trade Talbot Road is the first Rough Trade shop that was ever opened. It’s a tiny little place overpacked with CDs and vinyls (vinyls just outnumber CDs) with knowledgeable staff and fairly reasonable prices for hard-​to-​find things. Things that can’t be found in HMV can almost certainly be found here, it’s one of the few remaining truely independent record shops in London.
