Hello 
You might find some responses in this thread http://www.vintagefashionguild.org/forums/viewthread.php?tid=42544
but hopefully some city folk will stop by and help you out too.
Wish I was going on a shopping trip...

Greenwich market on a Sunday is meant to be quite good, never made it myself.
Shoreditch/Brick Lane area has some good warehouses, and the odd fly-by-night shop (I don't mean that they're dodgy, they just come and go quite rapidly)
Camden Passage in Islington, although I hear it's about to get redeveloped so I've no idea what will happen there.
Worth looking at yell.com for individual shops and charity shops too.
I hope you have a lovely time here!!

You really want to go to the main Camden stables market, which is between Camden Town and Chalk Farm, just after the canal. It's a bit pricey for the most part, but it's been a while since I went there so there may be the odd smaller, cheaper shop opened up since then.

If you're there on Saturday, Portobello is always worth a look!

You might not be able to time it right, but if you can I highly recommend the vintage fashion fairs! I went to one called the Battersea Vintage Fashion Fair and it was wonderful!
It was also good as a starting point to meet dealers and find out about the best shops - if you go to Portobello road, make it a Friday as that's when the dealers go to buy their goodies. The best stuff doesn't make it to Saturday.
