Records & coffee, Ladbroke Grove W10

Line drawing of a record player, a leaning record sleeve and a cup of coffee on a table

Racket is a record shop that pours coffee, or a coffee bar that sells records. New and used vinyl, espresso at the counter, and a listening corner that nobody’s in a hurry to leave.

Open late Fridays and Saturdays with DJs, and maybe a little bit of dancing.
