Elizabeth L.Elizabeth Lee: Impressive range of dvds, cds and records. Wish I had more time to browse through all of them.

orfyorfy: The last London remnant of the indie chain who flew too close to the sun. New owners HMV deserve credit for retaining much of the store's soul & bargains aplenty can still be found across its 3 floors

FlaveFlave: Loads of unsold HMV stock found here but Fopp is the solution for all those second time round records, cheap books & DVDs. Music is also categorised better than HMV so get copping those funk reissues!
