  • Leftovers

    South London

    South London might not have the footfall and fashion reputation of the stores above the river, but that just means there are more vintage bargains for the rest of us. View south London vintage shops

  • Blitz

    East London

    Thanks to the crop of vintage shops which have sprung up around hipster central in Shoreditch, Spitalfields and Dalston, east London is one of the easiest places to find trend led thrift in the city. View east London vintage shops

  • 11 years ago I went to a wedding in London. Our touring took us to the Chelsea Physic Garden. On the way from the tube (Sloan ) we passed a vintage clothing shop with the most amazing collection of couture in the basement. Since I had done a couture course, I was in 7th heaven, looking at the construction of these lovely items. I can't for the life of me remember what the name of it was. Anyone out there know?
