You could buy the same George Cox DM soled shoes in there that Robot were selling, not as much choice and no crazy colours but black suede was all I wanted anyway... Once I found that place I never went back to Robot... I'm talking '81-'83...
They also sold the crepe soled chukka boots in there for less than half what they wanted on the Kings Road, loved that little shop... On Middlesex Street? I think the black suede chukkas were £11, crazy cheap...

I wore the black buckle DM sole Robots (were they actually George Cox?) as my school shoes - with slightly short straight leg trousers, neon socks.
Joe Strummer innit?
Although it was already retro in ‘85 - that look segued straight into psychobilly for me.
Flat-top at Andy’s. -
Yes def. 81-83 but the ‘shop’ from memory was east of Brick Lane with the ground large parts not covered with a floor. And half price or better, had forgotten about that.

While we at it anybody any memories about the hole in the wall where I bought my first Doc Martens east off Brick Lane early mid Eighties? Were maybe £18, south Heneage Street possibly?
