Blitz





Blitz is London's first vintage department store or should we say, 5 storeys of vintage heaven!
They have everything here from clothes to curiosities. Prices are reasonable and all stock is carefully chosen and clearly displayed. In a nutshell this is vintage shopping made easy. We love it!

Radio Days





We love Radio Days. They have a wonderful collection of 20th century vintage from across the eras. Add into the mix vintage homewear, furniture and collectibles making this store a must visit destination. They also have an extensive collection of vintage magazines. Prices are reasonable and  service is friendly and informative, making Radio Days one of our favorite vintage shopping spots.

Brick Lane







Brick Lane and the surrounding streets (Cheshire St, Hanbury St) should be priority addresses for vintage lovers. Make sure you have a full day set aside for exploring. You will have a lot of shops to get through!

Brick Lane is very hip right now and the vintage stores have a high turnover of stock. Prices are reasonable but not cheap. The area is great for finding 50's to 90's on trend pieces at stores such as Rocket and Vintage with Love. For accessories and pieces from 20's - 50's pop into This Shop Rocks (hats especially) or Hunky Dory Vintage.

If markets are more your thing, head over to Brick Lane on Sunday with the crowds when the street turns into a market. All day into the early evening it's all second hand/vintage clothes, street food, recovery beers and fun in the sun.
