Where to buy a piano in South London


An acoustic piano is an investment that will bring you many years of joy through music-making. I just ordered a new piano today from @pianolobby and can’t wait for it to arrive at the piano school in East Dulwich in the next few days. Our old digital piano is being donated to Westminster House Youth Club in Nunhead.
