Kensington Chimes Music

Kensington Chimes has hundreds and hundreds of sheet music books, certainly the biggest selection I’ve come across in such a small shop. Literally, every wall is lined with bookcases where you can find everything from Schubert piano solos to opera vocal scores. In fact, it was named the ‘winner of printed sheet music’ in ²⁰⁰⁵⁄₆. So if you can’t find what you need here, I doubt you will be able to anywhere else.
The staff are all extremely knowledgeable musicians, but it does tend to get very busy in here so you may have to wait a while before you can grab their attention.
There’s also a nice selection of acoustic guitars, music related stationary for all the young budding Wagner’s out there, and other bits and bobs. At the moment they have score printed crackers! What every Christmas table needs, ah hem…

Yes! Finally I’ve found what I’ve been looking for– a music shop that specialises in printed and sheet music. They range from vocal to brass to percussion or jazz, blues and classical for almost any instrument. I was particularly interested in spanish guitar music and was immediately pointed to a massive stack on 2 shelves by an enthusiastic young lad. I walked out with about 4 pieces of music I was so happy. They also have a mail order system and for people in East/​Central London there is a branch in Barbican as well.
