Paper Dress Vintage

This charming vintage boutique and cafe can be found in the heart of trendy Shoreditch. Paper Dress Vintage has a wide selection of dresses and accessories complimented by very friendly and helpful service. However, we think the big draw card here are the prices, which are very reasonable and the large range of vintage dresses from the 50's to the 70's.

Paper Dress is more than a vintage boutique. It is also a venue for happenings in the evening. Keep an eye on their website for vintage inspired events and craft classes.

Portobello Road Market

Ok -  it's super famous, full of tourists and hectic, but Portobello Road Market still remains one of London's best markets for vintage and antique lovers. So, make sure you don't miss out.

If you love antiques then the Notting Hill end of the road should be where you focus your energy. For vintage clothes and good second hand, it's better to start at the Ladroke Grove end at the Portobello Green Market.

Don't forget to head past Westway and make your way along to Golbourne Road. Here you will find the hipper end of Portobello Road, fewer tourists and some real bargains.

If you decide to start at the Notting Hill Gate end you will find some good vintage and second hand shops on Pembridge Road such as Dolly Diamond and Retro Clothing.

Dolly Diamond

Dolly Diamond stocks vintage from the 20's to the 70's. They specialise in evening wear and have a large selection of lovely things. Think ball gowns, furs and accessories as well as vest, tops and simpler pieces.

Local tip: Avoid Notting Hill on Saturdays if you can. It's the main day for the market and the area is crawling with tourists. So, if you don't like crowds, pick another day where you can shop in a more relaxed style.
