Does anyone know where I can go in London to find good vintage shops?

My fave ones are in Camden town (Stables Market), Pop in Covent Garden and I recently discovered one in Holloway Road although I don't know the name. It's near the London Metropolitan University building. The ones in Central London are usually pricier than the ones in markets such as Camden Town, and there is this one in Portobello that sells big labels only and the prices are outrageous (one-fifty - you mean one pound fifty, right??). Also near Brick Lane there are a couple of big ones, one just around the corner from the old brewery building but I forgot the name. Easy to find though...
In all of them you have to spend a good while and be patient, because you will see lots of really dodgy 80s stuff, but you can find real bargains too. I go mainly for 60s - mod dresses and there are not so very many of these, but again it depends on what you're looking for. Any more questions? bring 'em on!

There's a shop (can't remember name but is easy to find) at the top off Endell st in Covent Garden - Holborn that has lots of stuff, don't forget to check downstairs! But the cheapest one I know is on Cheshire st off Brick Lane, you have to pass all the little shops and when you think I must have missed it, you'll see it, it's huge so have patience.

i dont know about london but in edinburgh the miss selfridge has a vintage section (i mean actual vintage not vintage style) so london probably will too.

Try the charity shops, you'll be surprised what you can find in them.
