True, but I don’t know about the darkest. I bought the whole catalogue of Sound Practices to see if there was anything interesting -talk about the Dead Sea scrolls of audiophoolery. .It is also good to keep in mind that the darkest periods of audio charlatanism (i.e. Flat Earthism in the 80s) were initiated in the U.K hifi culture.

I went to some pretty good parties at what used to be Camden Palace-now Koko- in the early 90’s. They must have done some work on the place, as although I never saw it in the cold light of day, I don’t recall it being a like any other palace I’d seen. Agree that there’s no point visiting hifi shops in the U.K on a trip. Definitely get to some music venues.Please direct all enquires to https://www.ministryofsound.com/
The club boasts a 64-speaker, 22-channel sound-system with a ring of six bespoke Martin Audio ground stacks positioned around the dancefloor of The Box.
Personally I wouldn't bother trekking around too many HiFi shops, there's better ways to spend your time with all the museums and markets etc. Check out the Spitalfields market area and Brick lane and Borough Market if you're into food.
Go to some gigs and see some live music, somewhere like Koko has a good range of things on in a cool venue with a good sound system.

I guess What-Hifi still represents the darkest period of audio charlatanism.But wait now, what's called "the English hifi sound" is that just a product of the sound from darkest periods of audio charlatanism?
There're so many ads on this site that my browser almost crashed.We ask the industry: is there such thing as 'British hi-fi sound'?

Definitely was a Palace - as in originally a big cinema or theatre. Lots of nooks and different places to sit. It was good, they used to hand you a bunch of free tickets when you went in...not sure if weekday nights were all free.I went to some pretty good parties at what used to be Camden Palace-now Koko- in the early 90’s.

Camden Town tube is the nearest.Definitely was a Palace - as in originally a big cinema or theatre. Lots of nooks and different places to sit. It was good, they used to hand you a bunch of free tickets when you went in...not sure if weekday nights were all free.
I need to look at Google now - iirc, it was around the corner from a big railway station... ...Euston?

But wait now, what's called "the English hifi sound" is that just a product of the sound from darkest periods of audio charlatanism? That is, relatively non-linear with quite a lot of distortion?
Or is it this?

Accurate, faithful and true, ”says Nick Clarke, director of engineering at Arcam, when we ask him about a British sound.
But what then, many manufacturers of Hifi, regardless of country, still reason in that way.
True sound, I do not know what it is.
He probably means linear without distortion.

Took me a minute to realise that this wasn't a joke, even though it sounds like one.King's Cross / St. Pancras. ...Mornington Crescent.
1980 was a bit before my time, at least with respect to London nightlife. You may be right though, I thought it was Camden palace well before the 90s.............. King's Cross / St. Pancras. ...Mornington Crescent.

I'm pretty sure that's wrong. I mean 1980. "The Music Machine" means nothing to me............no ways, definitely - it was already Camden Palace.
[PS:] Maybe I'm confused - maybe the confusion comes from when I tried to find out a couple years ago and was told it was Camden Palace.
But I will not go now, I wrote a holiday trip to London in the future.When remains to be seen.I think your original questions were: *What to do? and *what to see?
*Go to some music venues (and/or 'pubs') and report back if English ska and punk are still alive.
*See if you can sneak (=non-touristy) into the BBC studios and send us back a real picture of the LS3/5 speakers in one of their studios.
Only then, we can believe you really was able get to your destination with the current Covid lockdowns...
Bon Voyage...
