Travis & Emery is a renowned antiquarian shop in London that specializes in rare music scores, libretti, and antiquarian books. The shop, opened in 1960, has a rich history and has served composers, performers, and students for decades.
Some of London ’s most eminent antiquarians can be found on Cecil Court, a 17th-century lane just off the Charing Cross Road. For the city’s musicians there is only one shop that’s worth visiting. Behind the traditional green-and-gold shopfront of Travis & Emery , floor-to-ceiling shelves hold thousands of rare music scores , libretti for operas and musicals, and antiquarian books spanning biography to theory.
Any inch of remaining wall space is adorned with pamphlets and photographs from West End productions past. Travis & Emery was opened in 1960 by Valérie Travis, who assisted her father at Bletchley Park during the war and went on to train under the music antiquarian Otto Haas. The shop served composers, performers and students for nearly four decades, but when Travis’s nephew Giles Sandeman-Allen inherited the business in 1998, it was struggling with financial troubles and mountains of uncatalogued stock. He decided to persevere: “I thought the shop was providing a benefit to the music community,” he explain
