London

REASONS TO VISIT

From the British Rock revolution of the 1960s to the punk rock explosion of the 1970s to the underground electronic and dance sounds of the 90s, London has seen and inspired the history of music. And in 2017, PMT opened their 16th location: PMT London music shop.

From the rock 'n' roll greats such as The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Clash, Sex Pistols, The Kinks, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, T.Rex, The Who and Motorhead; to iconic artists Amy Winehouse, Adele, Elton John and David Bowie; to alternative, pop, indie and Britpop bands The Libertines, Pet Shop Boys, Blur, Coldplay, The Cure, Bloc Party, Suede, Joy Divison, Florence and the Machine and Bastille; to dance and DJ giants Basement Jaxx, Fatboy Slim, Leftfield, Faithless and Groove Armada, London is a city that inspired so many musicians for the past seventy decades... and PMT could not be happier to have a store in central London to provide artists, bands, DJs and producers with the musical instruments and equipment they need in a new, two-floor music shop on Old Street, Clerkenwell.
