Comment: I used to browse the record racks (downstairs) in my lunch break from Croydon College in 1966 and bought the first two Lovin' Spoonful albums there. Not sure when it closed.
Phone book search results for ‘Record Greetings’ at 77 George Street, Croydon showed it was open from 1961 to at least 1983 (online records only go up to 1984).

Comment: Often dropped in here while at Croydon College. He always had a huge stock of deleted LPs (sleeves snipped or pierced), and I remember buying several jazz albums and a Mamas & Papas platter there.

GREETINGS - TO NEW CROYDON SHOP VENTURE
ONE of London's largest greeting cards and gramophone record shops has opened at 77 George Street - Croydon's main shopping area. Known as the Record Greetings Shop, it is a new venture by 33-year-old Mr. Graham Noakes, managing director of a city printing firm. The shop offers a range of greetings cards to suit everybody's tastes, and in addition, the basement has been made into a gramophone record shop, with two acoustic booths and three audition rooms.
