| 1109.1 | Tottenham Court Rd is worth a look. | TENERE::DEIGHTON | | Wed Apr 17 1991 10:53 | 18 |
| Hi,
Well I guess it depends upon what you mean by best. Tottenham Court
Road is swarming with 'discount' (arguable!) electronics and computer shops
some of whom stock Atari hardware and software.
Whenever I'm visiting London I try and walk around these places but
have been unable to find one that stocks memory upgrades for example. So
basic hardware and software is easily found, anything a little esoteric
is more difficult.
Probably the best thing to do is get a U.K. magazine specialising
in Atari and look for London addresses.
Regards,
Nigel
P.S. Bon voyage (vacance?)

| For software, the Virgin Megastore right by the Tottenham Court Tube
station is very good (at least it was last time I went there).

| 1109.3 | skyrocketing prices... | GOONS::DOUG | When half-gods go\The gods arrive | Tue Apr 23 1991 10:25 | 14 |
| unless you're coming from very remote parts indeed, prices in london
aren't going to be any better than the local shop up the street.
availability, though, is a different story. most games (and some
serious stuff) can be found, as mentioned, at virgin. also further up
the road, a few hundred yards before the goodge street underground is
silica systems. i've bought some things there. again, prices are
high.
i once had one of the tottenham court road shops try to tell me the
right price for mark williams' c was �200! and next door it was �120
and mail order it was �80, i think.

| 1109.4 | Interest? ->Synthesizer editors! | STKHLM::ARENDI | Jaak Arendi TSC/VIA | Tue Apr 30 1991 15:46 | 7 |
| I'm most interested in synth editors, prefferably(?) to Roland
U110/U220 and Yamaha TG55 synth's. Maybe this more likely to be found
in the music shops?

| 1109.5 | Music shops & specialists | CHEFS::BAIN | Alex Bain @REO | Fri May 10 1991 14:07 | 13 |
| Most of the music software I have bought comes from specialist
distributors in the UK via mail order. The most popular music
packages are also sold by music shops, and it's here you will get the
best discounts IMO. In the SE, try Soho Soundhouse in London, and ABC
music (Branches in London, Oxford & Addlestone.)
The two mags the specialist advertise in are Sound on Sound, and Music
Technology.
I suggest you post an enquiry in COMMUSIC - There are a lot of UK based
people who read that notesfile and who might be able to help.
