I can't tell you the best guitar shop but go to Denmark Street (Tin Pan Alley), hog heaven for guitarists.  It's a minute or two from Tottenham Court Road Station.  Walk down Charing Cross Road, pass the Astoria, watch for the £6 haircuts place on the opposite side of the road.  On the corner of Denmark Street, there's a shop called Rose-Morris go towards that.  If you reach Borders, you've gone too far but just turn around & it'll be the turn to your right.    

This link should take you to a map which shows the walking route from Tottenham Court Road Station (hopefully it will work, sometimes it doesn't):

Answer 4

i second the denmark st (tin pan alley) suggestion!!

i worked by the astoria for 3yrs and i still went down all the time perusing the beauties :-) it's THE place to go.

For real mouthwatering, there is an awesome vintage place on the right hand side (coming from charing cross direction) about halfway down, but if you fall in love be prepared to shell out $10,000 plus easy!  :-)
