If you're looking for an antique wedding ring or special present for your partner, this is definitely the place to go, and prices are very reasonable. There is not a whole lot in the way of furniture and functional items, it's mainly jewelry and small decorative items like figurines and silver.

I'm probably going to be repeating myself a lot throughout my antique reviews for York, but I'm…read moregonna say it anyway. Love love love the vintage stores here, cuz in London, everything is so expensive, and the market is so much more saturated that I feel like the cool things worth buying (to me) are snapped up. Anyhow, this little basement store is amazing because.. Well, not many people seem to visit it, I think?! The owner mentioned not too many people come through here. It's easy to miss - lack of advertising, just an old sign board that said antiques pointing into an old cellar. But that's where I finally bought my first teacup set (and I've gone through so many stores in London). So cute, pink purple and gold, and I was over the moon to get it. There were so many other things I would have loved to buy, but I have space and weight restrictions since I'm sadly moving back to Canada soon. Some things seem a bit pricey, but I think you can try haggle. But again, due to the low traffic, I think there are some spectacular finds. This is the original location, but there's another around the corner on Piccadilly above a wooden furniture store, which has way more selection and larger furniture pieces, and an immense painting /picture / embroidered &patchwork collection.

My partner bought a Christmas gift (globe) which wasn't accurate for £85 without the staff notifying him to the no refunds policy, which you might expect they would at Christmas time. There is very little of substance to spend £85 on in the store, so very disappointed.
