Blitz opened in 2011, and instantly put the other vintage shops in the capital to shame. This is a vintage department store, covering all floors of a glorious old furniture factory. The building itself is jaw-dropping, and has been renovated beautifully by the Blitz team. Floors are clearly merchandised with a furniture selection from Broadway Market’s The Dog & Wardrobe, an accessories floor, a book collection and rails and rails of neatly presented fashion. Buyers Jan Skinners and John Howlin look to nearby Brick Lane for their inspiration, buying immaculate seersucker blazers, coloured denim, brogues and silk kimonos for their fashion focused clientele. The selection is all killer and no filler – and cleaned, steamed and folded before it hits the shop floor.

Very nice layout and not too packed. I found mostly late 70s-90s vintage pieces, whereas I prefer 40s-60s, but they had a few of the older pieces, too. I was impressed by the condition of all the items that I saw, and I thought that the prices were reasonable. Will definitely be checking back in next time I'm on that side of London!

THE BEST vintage store in London! No stale/musty smell normally reminiscent of vintage clothing stores and everything is so well laid out so you don't have to rummage through racks of dusty items. And the coffee is great too!

A friend and I popped in yesterday, what a great place to shop meet friends and have coffee. On the way out we picked up one of the home-made sandwiches, brie & fig relish. It was so delicious. We will definitely go back!!
