London Guitar Shops

Hey y'all,
I fell asleep and woke up in London, and now I'd like to find some vintage guitar shops, or if the stars are aligned somewhere that has steels? I've been googling, and found Denmark St. has tons of shops, but I hear it's the uber expensive tourist trap strip of shops. Is this right? Anywhere else I should go? Don't have a car, so anything easily accessible by tube would be ideal.

THANK YOU!!

I can't help you out...but I'm in London at work right now--in Hammersmith.

That is correct sir ! You may find a few steels there though. I found the guys working in the shops to be pleasant. Just don't beat them up about the absurd prices too much. I'm sure they are tired of it. I showed some guys in one shop how to tune the endplate and they were into it.
