If you like vintage fashion then the place for you is London Street, on the outskirts of Bath's…read morecity centre. Even though it might not be quite as good as Bristol's Park Street there are two shops you should really take a look at; Jack & Danny's and The Yellow Shop. The Yellow Shop is as fun, bright and interesting as its name suggests. For a vintage shop it's well organised into tidy rows which are easy to navigate. The stock doesn't change very often, so I tend to make a visit every couple of months or so. But if you love, eighties t-shirts, seventies shoes and sixties dresses this is the place for you. The prices range dramatically here so if you dig deep enough you should be able to find a bargain or two. They also welcome donations, so if you're having a clear out - be sure to pop along.

This is a great vintage shop. They've got a massive selection of items, particularly for guys, when…read morecompared to other shops of the same ilk in Bath and Bristol. You'll find stuff ranging from the 60's to present day - some of it's not technically vintage, but it's got the same kind of vibe. The more obviously trendy (and expensive) stuff is located as you walk in at the front of the shop, but if you're on the look out for a bargain then head down to the basement level, where there are tonnes of items on rails and in boxes that you can spend a good half hour, or so, rifling through. If you're into vintage fashion then you should definitely check this place out.

I recently bought a vintage 1920's beaded silk chiffon dress for a wedding, it's so beautiful & I feel amazing wearing. What I love about the pieces from here is that every piece is unique so you know you'll be the only one wearing it! The shop is well worth a visit - the stock seems to change every week so theres always something new and exciting in there!

The staff are friendly, and the prices very reasonable. If you're in the market for some genuine old-fashioned clothes (which are often more up-to-date than up-to-date clothes), this is the place to come.

Even though this revelation was a bit disappointing, I soon got well and truly over it when I realised just how much I loved their designs. They seem to specialise in feminine subdued colours like pinks, greys and browns as well as bows and flowers. The prices are a bit more expensive than the high street (around £45 - 60 for a day dress) but their sales are phenomenal with up to 75% off. Not the best place for anyone who is a vintage junkie (they may be 'inspired' by retro, but their designs are very trendy) but there are some pretty designs on sale here.

This city is…read morea perfect place to go rummaging for a bargain in a charity shop, as the generous (and most likely wealthy) ladies and gents often donate their barely worn designer names to goodwill. Tucked away down Green Street, it often goes unnoticed by the general throng of shoppers but make sure you pay it a visit. The volunteers are friendly and helpful, and always up for a chinwag. Not only is there a great range of clothes and accessories on sale here, but also a good selection of books and music too. Don't forget - whatever you buy here will go to a superb cause. Their window displays are always well thought out and attractive. My favourite time of year to walk past BHF is Valentine's Day, when people have paid to put their declarations of love in the window. Aww. Nice.

The only thing really lacking for men is the trousers, which unless you're into corduroy slacks or old-man jeans, ain't really going to cut the mustards amongst your fashion conscious mates. Actually, I found a wicked woolly hat here once, so that's another thing that you can occasionally pick up here. Like all charity shops, it's just worth popping in every couple of weeks to pick up something cool.

This may sound a bit cheap of me, but I'll guarantee one walk around Oxfam on George Street and you'll feel the same well. Well organised, with fantastic donations, Oxfam is one of my favourite charity shops in Bath. I once bought a Reiss shirt for £8 - lovely! Their bric-a-brac and music selection is equally as good here. Not only a great cause, but a perfect place to bag a bargain.

The range of books is worth a quick browse, too, as they occasionally have something in that isn't the mindless drivel of our beloved celebrities. Of course, this place has the obligatory doddering old dear behind the counter, who smiles a toothless grin and hand your receipt and change over with a violently shaking hand, making you feel all good inside about your great deeds.

Not only is it a very worthwhile cause, but this particular spot on Abbey Gate Street is one of the best charity shops in Bath. Luckily for me, and other bargain hunters, the kind rich residents of Bath are also generous, donating their barely worn designer labels to Dorothy House. These pieces, obviously, tend to get snapped up quickly so it can be a bit hit and miss. I did once get a Karen Millen evening dress for just £15 - which may sound pricey for a charity shop, but I think it's fair given the designer tag.

The windows of this shop is literally filled with flyers, wanted ads and offers ranging from club listings to 'one broken bike needs loving owner'. The streets outside the shop are normally busier inside with onlookers trying to find the best thing in town. My favourite discovery I found in this window was a dress making course at a local community centre. As for the shop itself, it is quite a traditional charity shop - a real mish-mash of clothes, bric-a-brac and LPs. Probably not the best place to find a gem, but it only seems fair to pop in after gawping at it's window for half an hour.
