Books for Cooks

Dolly Diamond
Fashion: Vintage & secondhand

One minute you're in the twenty-first century, then you step through the door into the 1940s. The shop has a delightfully old-fashioned feel, with its neat displays and vintage bra mannequins.
Odabash
Fashion accessories: Lingerie & swimwear
48B Ledbury Rd, London, W11 2AJ
Slink into ultra-glam Odabash (unbelievably white, white carpets, driftwood lamps) and even if the best you can hope for this summer is a week in a caravan in Wales, you'll feel like there's a yacht with your name on it somewhere.
The Portobello Antiques Store at No79 portobello road is a great find! A family run shop selling handpicked treasures from worldwide travels. They sell vintage Chanel handbags and jewellery, wedding jewellery and silver interiors and are open 7 days a week!
Harvey Jones kitchens is another one I'd recommend. Large shop near Notting Hill - http://www.harveyjones.com/our-showrooms/notting-hill/ - great for browsing kitchen ideas.
I think that you should include Ceramica Blue at 10 Blenheim Crescent. For over 25 years selling owner Lindy Wiffen's individual, varied and usually colourful selection of ceramics and other tableware.

Portobello Green has wonderful quirky shops, from the gorgeous handmade handbags at Verde's, to the rich variety of teas of the Chinese Tea Shop.
