I asked this question a few weeks back. Just got back from London (I
was in Oxford briefly, but I didn't see any decent record stores)
about a week ago, and the advice I received was great: go to Berwick
Street. Don't even bother with Tower Records (the only thing I got
there was a Public Enemy CD on sale for 6 pounds). It's just off of
Oxford street in London (get off the underground at Oxford Circus and
walk a few blocks to the east, then turn south onto Berwick Street).
There are TONS of great stores there...I was like a kid in a candy
store.  Some of the best include Select-a-disc, Reckless Records (lots
of good used cds and vinyl), Sister Ray, and of course, Ambient Soho
(the shop run by the Worm Interface guys).  If you're into
drum'n'bass, you should also check out the Black Market, which is on a
smaller street just off of Berwick street.  I hope this helps...Have
fun!
