There are, of course, some new rules due to the pandemic, which include wearing gloves and using hand sanitiser, and card-only transactions. Rough Trade will be keeping in-store toilets closed, and perspex screens will be set up at tills, and floor markings will allow people to keep two metres apart while in the stores.

Rough Trade will also be operating on limited hours. They will be closed Sundays and Mondays, and will be open from 11am-5:30pm from Tuesday to Saturday.
