We love exploring London vintage shops whenever we visit. From books to homewares, fashion to curiosities, there are so many amazing London vintage shops and markets throughout the city we thought it would be useful to share some of our favorites. From the beautiful stores on Columbia Road to Spitalfields and Brick Lane, the high-end antique and vintage interior shops on Pimlico Road, and the colorful vintage boutiques on Portobello Road. If you visit Notting Hill be sure to stop by nearby Golborne Road, packed with lovely vintage and antique shops. We also love Camden Passage and the neighboring stalls and always welcome a visit to Flask Walk, Hampstead.
These are just some of our favorite London vintage shops. We’d love to know your favorite shops. Share via below link.
