One of London’s finest old school record shops is up for sale.
On the Beat, tucked away in Hanway Street (above), is on eBay for offers over £300,000.
It’s a bargain. At twice the price.
And we were delighted to see that owner Tim Derbyshire has used a photo from this very blog on his auction!
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Tim explained he was looking for a buyer who is, “Eccentric and not worried about making ends meet. I don't want someone to do it for the money, I want them to do it for the passion. Nobody's ever going to get rich quick running the place."
I’m leading the Rock’n’Roll London Walk this Friday at 2:00pm. If enough of you join me (and on Wednesday night for the Rock’n’Roll Pub Walk) then perhaps I can raise the money to buy it.
You can view the auction HERE. (Postage hasn't been specified.)
A London Walk costs £9 – £7 concession. To join a London Walk, simply meet your guide at the designated tube station at the appointed time. Details of all London Walks can be found at www.walks.com
