Quick help needed - "world music" shops in London?

[Lee]

OK, before you say it, I know "world music" isn't a proper genre, incorporating as it does basically everything that isn't Western rock and pop. However I'll ask you to humour me just for a minute, while I ask if any of you can recommend any good shops in old London town specialising in "world music" CDs and DVDs that aren't HMV and Zavvi. I'm heading down there tomorrow afternoon so if anyone can suggest anything before around midday tomorrow that would be grand. Thanks.

There's Sterns, which is on Warren Street.

Alas, that was the only one I already knew about. :( Thanks anyway; it is indeed a good little shop.

There's a world book shop on Great Marlborough Street (runs parallel south of Oxford Street from Oxford Circus towards Tottenham Court Road).
I can't remember the name, but I've got a feeling that they do some music too.


Profuse apologies if I'm wrong.

[Lee]

That would sound quite likely... I'll have a look when I get there.

Cheers

Honest Johns, portobello road, Exotica also portobello for vinyl or cross the river and head for the Royal festival hall shop which is chock full of the stuff... And don't knock HMV basement on Oxford street.
