The London Vintage Shopping Guide

Where the best vintage and second-hand shopping in London is and what to expect

By Fiona MacLeod, London travel journalist.

The Guide

The London vintage and second-hand shopping geography: the Portobello Road market on Friday and Saturday for the specific antique and vintage clothing that the market has been producing for decades; the Brick Lane and the surrounding Bethnal Green Road area on Sunday for the specific vintage clothing and market trading that the East End market geography produces; and the specific permanent vintage shops in Soho and Carnaby Street whose specialist knowledge and curated stock serve the specific vintage enthusiast.

The Practical Advice

The practical advice: arrive early at the outdoor markets. The specific Portobello Road that the visitor who arrives at 8am experiences is different from the Portobello Road that the visitor who arrives at noon encounters. The specific dealers whose stalls the early arrival enables are the dealers with the specific stock that the vintage enthusiast wants.
