It's sad news for CD fans and music browsers with ten minutes to spare in London today, as HMV's flagship store at 150 Oxford Street has now closed.
The huge property has now been replaced by a store at 363 Oxford Street, while Sports Direct will now fill the former music store with discounted trainers and sweatpants. The 60,000 square foot store was once the biggest music store in the world.
Sports Direct, owned by Newcastle United chairman Mike Ashley, reportedly bought HMV's biggest store property at 150 Oxford Street for somewhere between £2-5 million in June 2013.
Initially the music chain went into administration in January 2013, with several stores shutting down and many losing their jobs. However they were later rescued by financial restructuring group Hilco.
