       Notting Hill Gate

Notting Hill Gate tube stop.

Upstairs is where they keep the good stuff (esp. vinyl); lots of
Krautrock etc.  And it's where I finally found a copy of New
Worlds Fair many years ago, after searching for just ages.

For HW fans, you can consider this place to be the souvenir shop
at the end of your pilgrimage to Portobello Road :-)

There are a zillion sister shops all called "The XYZ Exchange",
wrapping around the corner onto Pembridge.  From the web site,
I'm pretty sure it's the one at 38 NHG that I have in mind.

Have fun.

whoever swims against the current will perhaps reach the source.
