Rough Trade, one of the world's leading music retailers, has recently opened its fourth London-based store on Denmark Street, a street known as London's "music epicentre." This iconic record shop is now joining a host of other iconic instrument stores that are frequented by music lovers.
The new store is spread over two floors and offers a wide selection of curated vinyl covering all genres. What makes this new location unique is that Rough Trade will be the first record shop situated on Denmark Street, adding to its already rich musical heritage. Lawrence Montgomery, Rough Trade's Managing Director, expressed his excitement about the new store, stating that Denmark Street holds a special place in the city's music history and legacy.
Rough Trade first opened its doors in 1976 and has since become a favorite among millions of music fans. Montgomery added, "We are thrilled to bring Rough Trade to London's iconic Denmark Street. Our new store will offer an extensive selection of curated vinyl across all genres, as well as a specialist book selection and exclusive merchandise." It's clear that the store's goal is not just to sell records, but to also provide a unique and immersive experience for customers.
Denmark Street is often referred to as the birthplace of some of Britain's most successful artists. In the 1970s, it was home to music legends such as Elton John, The Rolling Stones, and David Bowie, who not only lived there but also made music at the street's studios. Montgomery continued, "Denmark Street is the perfect setting for our next chapter. It has its own unique community and offers the vibrancy and expertise that customers have come to expect when visiting Rough Trade. We can't wait to welcome music fans to explore, discover, and celebrate music and culture."
The first Rough Trade record shop opened in West London in 1976 and focused on garage rock and reggae. It was inspired by the community-based environment of a San Francisco bookstore. Today, the retailer has seven stores across the UK, with four of them being located in London. These include the East London location at Old Truman Brewery, the West London location on Talbot Road, the Central London location on Beak Street, and now the newest addition, the Central London location on Denmark Street.
