Finding Fopp
During a walk with a friend I happened to come across this amazing CD/DVD store called Fopp. The store is quite hard to find: you have to walk up Charing Cross Road until you reach the crossroads with Shaftesbury Avenue. The storefront doesn’t look like anything special so it’s a miracle that I managed to find it on my walk.
This three-floor store is really nice to shop in and provides a wide range of music, movies & books, mostly indie and rare stuff, at great prices. You can find one-off bargains ranging from 3 to 6 pounds. Actually the prices are so suspiciously low that I had to ask a shop assistant how they managed to work them out.
Even if you’re not a DVD collector, you can’t leave the store empty handed! It’s also a perfect destination if you’re looking for a gift for someone.
Since my first time in Fopp I often stop by to pick up new DVDs. I wish it was the same prices everywhere, I really think people would buy more CDs and DVDs. Anyway, pop in and you’ll hopefully see what I mean.
