"The jukebox is playing Peter Sarstedt's 'Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)', barely audible above the crowded colliding conversations."
"Bradley's, the site of a former wine merchant, predates its jukebox by about a decade, but the place looks Victorian, somewhere you might hold a séance."
"I've learned way more about jukeboxes and urinals than I ever thought I would, says Bradley's manager Jan de Vries."
"The junkshop is crammed with dusty treasures spilling out in disordered heaps, among them a glass paperweight containing a piece of pink coral."
Bradley's Spanish Bar in London houses a 1970s NSM Prestige II jukebox, reminiscent of a bygone era. The bar, with its Victorian decor, serves as a gathering place for patrons who enjoy the nostalgic experience of feeding coins into the jukebox. The manager, Jan de Vries, has gained extensive knowledge about jukeboxes and their maintenance. The atmosphere is filled with the sounds of music and conversations, creating a unique blend of history and modern social interaction.
