East London record shop Kristina Records is set to close.

The shop opened in 2011, largely pre-empting the wave of vinyl outlets that have opened across the capital in the past few years.

Paving the way, Kristina helped underline the commercial potential for Kingsland Road, and through its links to local labels helped build a real community round the shop.

All good things come to an end, though, with Kristina Records set to close their East London hub with a view to relocating elsewhere in London.

The final day is August 31st – so best get down there before time runs out…

ANNOUNCEMENT . . After 7 years here in Dalston the time has come to move on. We'll be closing the shop at the end of August and relocating – news about a new spot coming soon so watch this space! We've had a great run here, loads of good times and great memories. Really sad to leave but the time is right to start fresh somewhere new! . Thank you to all our customers, followers and supporters over the years. You've got a couple of weeks to come and say bye to the place, so pop down for a chat and a beer and buy some records if you can – it will really help with the transition to the new shop! . We will be sharing old pictures, videos and memorabilia from the last 7 years, if you have anything please share, tag us and hashtag #kristinarecords.
