The Fopp Challenge - UPDATE!

Fopp have opened a tenth shop! Their list is now as follows:

Edinburgh
Glasgow x2
Nottingham
Manchester
Exeter
Cambridge
Bristol
London x2

Yes! They've opened a second shop in London! This is recent!

Anyway, as I'm down in London this week I decided to pay a visit.

It is at the junction of Gower Street and Torrington Place, between the British Library and Euston, and is located within a branch of Waterstones (reason: Waterstones are owned by HMV, and HMV own Fopp). It's a very small shop but has the usual array of CDs, DVDs and vinyl, but no books... for obvious reasons. I had a pleasant mooch and came out £35 lighter, which is good!

A nice little branch then, but no rival for the one near Covent Garden / Seven Dials, although it is much, much quieter.

Still to go then: Bristol, Exeter and Cambridge.

BTW Bought a Bowie boxed set, and two DVDs.
