Default City Radio Stores Ealing, West London

Hi,

if in Ealing, West London, suggest visiting City Radio Stores at 37 Bond Street, W5.

They were established in 1929.

I found it a pleasure to peruse the many 'oddities' they stock.

Sadly so few of these independents now exist. My 'local' was Odeon Radio in Harrow.

Regards - Mike

I remember when practically every town had a radio surplus store and London was full of them, as you say, very few left now.

That must be near the Grove.

As for Odeon Radio, I still have some things that I bought from them, "way back".

Thanks for the tip. It is indeed a good source of radio spares. Cricklewood Electronics in Cricklewood Broadway NW2, and Vintage Wireless London In Bell Street NW1 (Just off Edgware road) are also good sources for radio spares and well worth visiting.

No, Mr Trickett was a couple of doors away.

I bought a Pioneer SX-1010 from him many years ago!

Thanks for that Mike, I remember City Radio very fondly as I do the rest of the time I lived in Ealing area.

Yes that's the one. Great shop and a good source for the more rarer valves. Definitely worth a visit if you're ever passing that way.

Mr Trickett

He was a great guy if you got on with him always did good deals and at the time I didn't live to far from him and I only rode motorbikes then and he would always deliver whatever huge Japanese monolith I had bought.

A true gent
