Atlantis Records

This little shop on Hackney Central’s Clarence Road is a veritable utopia of vinyl. Run by John Coxon, the guitarist for cult 90s rock band Spiritualized, alongside Liam Casey, who formerly ran the Pacific Social Club café on the same site (and still makes great coffees), the shop has shifted the collections of some of music’s most respected names, including Rough Trade founder Geoff Travis and Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor. From Soviet-era bootlegs to Yoruba 78s, you’ll struggle to find a more varied collection of records anywhere in London; Atlantis offers the best deals on records, cassettes and more from all corners of the globe.
