This Friday my wife and I are heading to London, UK for a vacation with the kids. Does anyone know of any luthier shops or great guitar stores in London where I could pop in and say Hi?

Lots of guitar shops on Denmark Street...north end of theatre district. My son bought a cajon there a few months back.

Yes Denmark st is my favourite place in Britain, maybe 10 guitar shops on it?

The largest guitar store in UK is an hour away in Epsom (guitarguitar chain store)

If you can possibly make it there, get down to Brighton on the south coast and visit TAMCO. It has ALL the big name handbuilders' guitars and quite a few from people on this forum. It's probably the best guitar shop in Europe.

lots of mandolins too, if that's your thing...
