Always been, always will be my favourite music store. In addition to all the box sets of series and film DVD's and music HMV also sells so many games and some really cool accessories and T-shirts and posters.

There are 3 HMV stores in London. I visited 2 of them. The one at the Oxfordstreet is bought quite empty and one sees that there many people shop during the day. The HMV store in the Westfield Center, however, is well equipped and shines through abundance.

I remember going in there years ago and it was really good. 90% of the customers are goths and scruffy 20 somethings now though. At least they are spending money in there and keeping HMV still going.

Not at the levels of the London HMVs of the past, those now closed in the city center so to speak ... It rises inside the brand new Westfield shopping center, slightly out of reach from the classic metro routes, but this makes it decidedly less crowded and chaotic. .the Format is the classic we are used to, with the difference that vinyl (the main reason for my visit) is placed right from the entrance and this is a choice given the smaller sizes compared to past stores, even if mind you, small it is not ... the wide choice, of every kind possible, from the classics, to the pits, to the colored editions, up to those exclusive HMV that lately appear on sale ... I have not found what I was looking for (but in the few record shops the center still remained, it went even worse) ... I still found interesting records at half price, recent records among other things, and this gave a sense to my move to Westfield ... It was worth it and I stayed ap paid more from this store than from the so-called "indie" ones, which will also be cool if you have a lot of pounds in your pocket ... I recommend the visit then, also to see the Westfield shopping center, which is huge and polished .

Large shop with great customer service. I was able to converse with someone at the till and have a laugh, which is very rare for me. They have a large selection of DVDs and CDs and I m satisfied with that. Although, I hope they can implement more video game products and merchandise in there.

What's the deal with shops nowadays? It's they aren't playing music at the most loud volume possible apparently they are not happy. And it's uncomfortable to shop like that. The whole time you are waiting to get out of there before you get a freaking headache. I must not be the only one who thinks that.

Apart from that, the usual HMV with the usual deals. I rather go to the one at Oxford's Street, malls stress me.

Amazing layout in the shop, well organised, vinyl, calendars, toys,posters, old movies, new movies, tv series CD, speakers, earphones all available. Good place to have a look around and purchase music nor movies.

Ok

Good

HMV rises from the flames of closure like a phoenix. They seem to have realised they need to lower their prices a bit to compete with the Amazon and Zavvi of the internet too (finally). Also, bonus points awarded for the throne they provided for the Porg tour. All hail the Porg.

Soon to be closed down (again) it's easy to see why HMV has been so close to bankruptcy for so many years. Shelves of overpriced CDs and DVDs, low quality collectibles and audio technology, no attempt to diversify or keep the store fresh and exciting for repeat visitors. Even the stairs here are dangerously undermaintained. HMV could've been the kings of the digital revolution but instead they sat and festered on a dying business model which they doubled down on when things got tough. Hopefully they'll be replaced by something a bit more dynamic.

Very rude. Terrible assistance.

Very rude. Terrible assistance.
I tried to return a speaker that does not pair with my sister s Huawei phone and they argued that they can t take something that s working perfectly . It s NOT - for my sister, it s not pairing. They wouldn t even change it for a different speaker, as they say the problem lies within my SISTER S PHONE (!?)
Will never return to this shop.

Very large HMV store with multiple floors, staff working there seem to mind their own business more often than come up to you and ask you if you need anything.
Clean and organised location, however the selection of certain things are limited.

Interesting comics, mangas, albums, vinyls and general media. It's usually not very busy too so it's nice to go with friends and look at all the entertainment that exists in the mainstream world.

Smaller HMV!

Smaller HMV!
Nevertheless, a large selection and top advice!
