Yay! I love this shop. This shop is fabulous. It is the beacon of shopping in an otherwise…read morethoroughly miserable area. The Salvage shop sells designer discounted clothing and home furnishings. I love to come here and browse the racks. You can find some great bits outside on a good day new for a pound (stuff from Top Shop!) Inside there is a great selection of women's clothing and a dressing room. This store has got to be one of the best kept secrets in London! It's worth going to Burnt Oak!

This charity shop is not bad at all. Nothing to write home about but if you are writing home about…read morecharity shops than you have more serious problems. I'm writing you about about charity shops, so perhaphs the shoe fits! Ha Ha. No, seriously All Aboard has some cool stuff. The ladies from East Finchley and Muswell Hill ( this store is also near enough to Highgate) have written off some of thier old designer finds in this shop. For example, I found a really hot waist coat from New Look for 5 pounds here. Of note, was also a D & G top for 6.95- a steal! If you like charity shops and find yourself in N2, have a look!

All Aboard is a charity shop but it's never made clear exactly what charity it supports, which is…read morewhy I've rated it four and not five stars. In terms of what it sells the shop is excellent. It has a great range of books and always stocks a lot of travel books. The stock is usually of really good quality too. The staff are really friendly and helpful.

This is my go-to charity shop on the high street…read more It is huge! It is also the cleanest, has the best bargains, and a large selection of furniture and shelving. You will usually find my coming out of there with a book or kitchenware, and if you don't it's because instead I've bought some crazy piece of art for a friend's birthday. Because there are pockets of Japanese, Indian and Jewish communities around, there are always lots of cool items to examine. Also a great place for cheap picture frames. The staff are ridiculously friendly and help as much as they can. The manager is so happy and it's like speaking to an old friend. I can even hear her speaking happily to the staff in the backroom- you would never know she was giving them tasks. The have home delivery too! Because sometimes you just can't lug home that gorgeous drink cabinet on your own.

What a fantastic shop. My wife reads 3 books a week and they have a better selection than my local…read morelibarary , so I buy 3 and return 3. I feel that I am doing my bit each week for the local hospice

Let me tell you a secret. I bought my favourite Italian handbag at Relief Fund for Romania…read more I told people I picked it up from Florence but that was a blatent lie. Relief Fund for Romania, 3 pounds. RFFR is perhaphs worst laid out charity shop in London I have seen. It is cheap though. They have a 99p rail. Go here but watch out for broken heeled shoes. You catch my drift.

Get inside have a look around and you have immediately found something that you want to buy. I love getting the really old style big jumpers because you can always find the really cool ones with the old fashioned style prints. I also love getting jewellery because you can find really good quality necklaces, bracelets and rings. Not forgetting how unusual they can also be. Normally I get pearls, I simply love the old fashioned tiny clasps. If you can't stand following a trend, and want to find something different, one word: OXFAM. Cool second-hand clothes it's as simple as that and most importantly your money goes to a good cause!

Anyone who knows me well will have noticed my recent obsession with collecting obscure vinyl. This…read morehad resulted in me making friends with most music market stalls as well as trekking across London to charity shops and second hand record stores when I've heard they've had a decent delivery. When looking for a place to buy vinyl you have to consider the area in which you are purchasing it in. Most people don't travel to drop something off at these shops, they live around the corner. As a result there are a few cute little shelves under the books with almost a complete discography from Shirley Bassey. Someone really must have been a fan. Now I was a little bit sad to break this collection up, but I don't want greatest hits, it's all about albums and LPs. They tell a story and I can understand why artists get upset when only one song from their album gets bought on iTunes. It's taking it out of context. So anyway, along with Shirley, I got an old Topol record from his days on stage, Lionel Richie, Billy Joel and some Nat King Cole. All in fantastic nick at around £3 each. I left a very, very happy lady.

My finds include: - A great quilted winter coat for £3.50 - Next leather boots in black, like new £5 - The most amazing H&M work trousers that get compliments all day, £4 - Real leather wallet, good nick £10 This is a great place to keep an eye on when you want staples - work gear etc - but also for Topshop dresses and good leather boots. New bags are always there. The book selection is decent, too and they know that not many of us who work or live here want to go over £30 for an item.
