Denmark Street

hitting Denmark Street for the first time today hopefully.

Any recommendations on the best/better shops (esp for pedals) or any that aren’t worth checking out?

There aren't that many shops so it won't take too long to visit them all. Make sure you pop into Macari's though which is down Charing Cross Road towards Cambridge Circus.

Regent sounds and No Tom have the best selection of interesting pedals

Macari's have reissued the Coloursound range; I always thought they were cheapos in the 70s, but apparently they are now much sought-after and the new ones are bloomin' expensive to reflect!

Wunjo have a selection of pedals, including used; I recently bought a Bass Tube Screamer there.

Macari's do a cheaper version of some of their pedals now i believe.

Pop into Fopp while you are close by http://www.fopp.com/stores/london/
& would recommend De Hems (3-4mins walk from Fopp) for a few beers https://www.dehemspub.co.uk/findus

Be careful flashing cash, lots of thieves around there. Had my leather jacket lifted off the back of a chair in front of 8 mates...

I remember once while I was there a staff members' own JM Jag was stolen right out of the store

I know about that, it’s was Jack in Regent Sounds’ JM Jag. He was pretty distraught, but the GAS from the insurance money quelled it.

Regent Sounds are highly recommended, though, excellent customer service, been dealing with them for years.

They weren't after they let him steal my jacket while I popped to the toilet...

I had a 1970's Coloursound 'Supa sustainer' sustain pedal...big, purple with yellow text, and noisy as hell.
