London music shops

[Leslie Evers]

Hello!  I will be in the UK for a few weeks and I was thinking of going round to some shops in London to look at instruments. Does anyone have an idea of where I can go for an interesting selection of new and/or used banjos?  I love to window shop and you never know.  The Hobgoblin shop - and Hank's - look likely - but I would love an informed suggestion.

Leslie,

It all depends on whar you are looking for, but I think in all honesty you will find nothing in London. Shops like Hobgoblin have new banjos and may have some vintage instruments but I would check their stock list first. The bulk of the quality banjos in the UK change hands between individuals either privately or at Rallies.

Sorry to disappoint,,

Not disappointing at all, David - it's a very valuable perspective to have, thank you.
