Oxford Street
We’re kicking things off with a legend: Bradley’s and its iconic NSM Prestige II has long been a welcome retreat for shoppers looking to swap Oxford Street’s vapid chart tunes for proper boogieing. Playing only seven-inch singles from the bar’s 20,000-disc-strong archives, the selection is regularly refreshed with a half-century’s worth of classics. With three songs for a quid, the ground-floor is regularly packed-out with a mix of post-work and post-shopping punters. It’s much more of an old-school British boozer than a slinky Spanish bar, but you’ll still spot a few Iberian lagers and wines amongst its roster of bevs.
What are we playing? Culture Club’s ‘Do You Really Want to Hurt Me’ and Diana Ross’s ‘I’m Coming Out’. Classics – just like Bradley’s.
