Another London record shop closes

Walking down Berwick Street yesterday I couldn't help but notice that MVE has closed - as have all of the shops on that side of the road
Looks like that end of the street is being developed - another step in the gentrification of Soho
I can't say I ever got a lot from MVE Soho - although I have picked up some nice things over the years. But I'm always saddened when a record shop closes
Now there are only two MVEs - it doesn't seem so long ago were loads!

Is it just Notting Hill and Greenwich left? and there used to be about 4 just in Notting Hill

Rumour has it that they are looking at viability of opening up at another Soho location - but apparently we shouldn't be holding our collective breath.

Same here - remember picking up this one in there though many moons ago:

It was shut a couple of weeks ago when I was down that way. I'd completely forgotten. Never had a result in that branch, but always gave it a glance.

There's one in Birmingham as well. Bloody Londoners etc.
