The best designer vintage shops London has to offer

Dodge the mothballs and find classic couture at the best designer vintage shops in London

Five of the best designer vintage shops London has to offer

From twenties glamour to seventies flair, the pre-loved pieces in our wardrobes are often the most treasured. Discovering a vintage gem in the racks of your favourite thrift store is the most rewarding of sartorial finds, and when you take it for a spin there's little chance you'll encounter a twin outfit.

Now, with the resurgence of the nineties' logomania trend, rooted in excess and exuding status, where better to get your Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior emblazoned it-bags or logo-splashed sweaters than in one of London's many thrift stores. See below for our favourites.
Found & Vision, Golborne Road



Celebrity hotspot Found & Vision in Notting Hill's Golborne Road has an unbeatable collection of rare and collectable wares. It's frequented by West London It-Girls and stylists alike, and is responsible for many'a street style snap and magazine editorial you might encounter.

Address: Address: 104 Golborne Rd, London W10 5PS



Pelicans & Parrots, Stoke Newington




Pelicans & Parrots sources vintage fashion, furniture and accessories from all over the world - and have plenty of statement pieces to show for it, once being described by Italian Vogue as 'the coolest place in London'. The furniture and objects are a mixture of new and vintage and come from different antique fairs and markets across the UK and EU. Much of the newer pieces are from the US as well as other areas of Europe. All the clothes are vintage and about 90% are sourced in Italy.

Address: 81 Stoke Newington Road, Dalston, London N16 8AD

William Vintage, Marylebone



Founded eight years ago by British fashion expert William Banks Blaney (otherwise known as The Vintage King), haute couture vintage boutique William Vintage is as clean and crisp as vintage shopping gets.

Amal Clooney famously wore a dazzling Yves Saint Laurent gown that she sourced in the boutique on the red carpet.

Address: 2 Marylebone St, Marylebone, London W1G 8JQ

Deborah Woolf Vintage, Marylebone



Deborah Woolf vintage houses a sharp selection of neatly preserved sixties and seventies pieces as well as a vast assortment of accessories ranging from Christian Dior to Biba. Price versus quality means that whatever you pick up is likely to be a steal.

Address: 24 Church St, Marylebone, London NW8 8EP

One of a Kind, Notting Hill



We’re going to be bold and say that Portobello Road’s One of a Kind is our favourite vintage shop in London. A browse through the shop’s ‘hall of fame' section on their website reveals Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and more posing amongst the shoe racks and embellished garments.

With piles and piles of the most covetable designers, digging your way through this treasure cave will reveal some of the best vintage in the capital.

Address: 259 Portobello Road, Notting Hill, London W11 1LR

Vintage Modes, Mayfair



With an inimitable host of veteran vintage dealers in one space, Vintage Modes is a popular haunt for stylists and vintage aficionados, the spoils of which can often be found in editorial spreads and street style sections aplenty. Think rare costume jewellery and one-of-a-kind gowns hidden in a plush corner of Mayfair.

Address: Alfies Antiques Market 13-25 Church St, Marylebone, London NW8 8DT

Annie’s vintage, Islington



With everything from flappers’ headdresses and 1930s wedding dresses to basques and brooches, Annie’s Vintage of Camden Passage is a mecca for vintage-minded shoppers. Everyone from John Galliano to Kate Moss have been known to frequent the store, and Alexander McQueen was a regular before his death in 2010.

Address: 12 Islington High St, London N1 8ED

Serotonin vintage, Brick Lane



Fendi co-ords, Burberry bucket hats, Galliano’s famous newspaper print… Serotonin Vintage’s inexhaustible hoards of designer items are bound to boost endorphins. The ultimate playground for nostalgic nineties kids.

Address: Brick Ln, Weavers, London E1 6SA
