Ritz Music (CLOSED)

Established for over 20 years, this three-story shop in Putney and its sister-shop in Richmond are crammed full of essential musical instruments – including drums, keyboards, guitars and amps – and less essential items like banjos, ukuleles and mandolins. The store stocks sheet music and accessories too, and offers an on-site repair service for woodwind and brass instruments. If you’re the next big thing and looking to make your own EP, both stores also house purpose built recording studios from £40 per hour.
