Vintage Shops in London, what not to miss?

[Aphrodite_Nymphia]

So I am going to London on Wednesday and having been out of the city for 3 years my knowledge is a bit rusty so I was wondering if anyone knows any good vintage stores, or indeed any shopping haunts that I shouldn't miss.

I didn't know if there was anything in this thread...

Oh yes silly me, I totally forgot about that!

How long will you be in London?

Just for the day actually. I am only going over for a bit of shopping and to meet up with a few people I know from when I was living over there.

Wish I could help but my city knowledge is really not up to scratch these days. Have fun, buy lots of goodies.. then come and show us!

Go to Camden lock, just for sheer variety. If you go on Sunday, I think they have a antique fair on too.

Wednesday is Camden Passage - tube station Angel. Lots of stalls and shops. Not as good as it used to be - nowhere is! - but still quite buzzing Camden Lock - quite a different place - is Sunday. You could try Spitalfields - tube station Liverpool Street - stalls and shops both vintage and modern. A real fun place. You are going to have to move fast if you want to do more than one of these venues in one day.
Anyway, enjoy London. Where are you to get to London for one day?

Silly me - I've just checked and you are in Northern Ireland and you've lived here and so know London quite well.

Don't worry about it Margaret, my knowledge of the city is a bit rusty and things change in three years. My friends tell me Southwark (where I lived) has totally changed since we were there. They (amazingly) have hardly set foot there in three years either.
