The Vintage Showroom, Covent Garden

Portobello Road veterans Doug Gunn and Roy Luckett’s Covent Garden store is carefully designed and attentively styled. The focus is on menswear, but that doesn’t stop women from trying on oversized, rough ‘n’ ready leather jackets, casual tailoring and starchy denim too. 

Portbello Road, Notting Hill

The Indian player who has played for Royal Challengers Bangalore, Rajasthan Royals, and Mumbai Indians has taken a total of 171 wickets in 132 matches.

Nordic Poetry, East London

Founded by Swedish-born entrepreneur Ameli Lindgren, Nordic Poetry is a vintage shop created for the Instagram generation but with more depth and meticulous thought than its picture-perfect pink interiors belie.

Beyond Retro

Beyond Retro is one of the more well-known vintage shops, with locations across London. It began in 2002 as a single warehouse-turned-retail store and now recycles in every way possible - from plastic bags to packaging. 

Atika, Shoreditch

What makes Atika different is they not only stock amazing fashion, but they also sell furniture, coffee, records and art.

Rokit, Covent Garden

Rokit requires some foraging and a visit here shouldn’t be rushed, as its reputation and high product turnover means there are constantly new and exciting pieces circulating the shop. 

Mero Retro, Dalston

While Mero Retro offers a wide selection of vintage, it’s particularly noteworthy for its collection of Asian-inspired garments that includes kimonos, printed tees, shirts and accessories – all of which are fair trade and handmade.
