The entrance to Rough Trade East, a record shop on Brick Lane

Rough Trade East

Clerkenwell, Shoreditch & Spitalfields


It's no longer directly associated with the legendary record label (home to the Smiths, the Libertines and the Strokes, among others), but this huge record shop is still tops for picking up indie, soul, electronica and alternative music. In addition to an impressive selection of CDs and vinyl, it also dispenses coffee and stages gigs and artist signings.
