Berwick Street in Soho is your best bet:  Reckless Records, Select-a-disc and 
Sister Ray all have a good 2nd hand selection (including some PSB).  There 
are also loads of specialist shops around this area: Daddy Kool, BlackMarket, 
and some other trendy ones I never venture inside.  Just wander around the 
streets and you'll find 'em.  

On Berwick St, there's also a Music&Video Exchange which is good, but there's 
more and a better selection at the Notting Hill branches (Notting Hill Gate 
tube).  They have about 6 shops which sell everything from PCs to clothes, 
but also some great old instruments and loads of unusual and usual music.

Markets are the other options for 2nd hand records:  I'm not an expert, but 
Camden and the Portobello Road could be worthwhile, or Brixton if you like 
your reggae.

Oh, and HMV on Oxford St. is worth a look.  It still sells a lot of vinyl and 
carries a good range.
