Heading to London - Hifi Store/Record Shop Recommendations?

Greetings all,

Just found out I will be in London for 5 days at the end of the month. I'll be fairly free on the first day and would like to listen to some gear I might not normally see here in Atlanta. I would also like to  pick up some new vinyl if possible. 

Any recommendations for good hifi shops or record stores near the Marllebone neighborhood? I believe that's near the Oxford Circus station and The British Museum.

Thanks for the suggestions!

+1 Portobello Road market which is open on Saturdays, lots there plus records.

UK HIFI is 240V plus 20% VAT is levied on virtually everything except used goods.

Recent changes have abolished the tax-free tourist scheme.

I'd think about taking in a show, lots to choose from, Plays, Ballet, Opera, Rock whatever.

Try Rules Restaurant, Charing Cross, same steak and kidney pie recipe for hundreds of years and the Hung, Drawn and Quartered Pub, across the road from the Tower of London.
