It makes sense to shop in charity shops in affluent areas such as Chelsea…read more I got a beautiful silk top in here for £14 last week. I also spotted a beautiful suit by YSL for £80 but alas it wasn't my size. I love how they wrap your clothes in paper and put a little Oxfam sticker on it. For me the little details mean so much I also discovered a band of clothing which is on sale here called Junky styling a brand by two sisters who make clothes from recycled materials. There was a dress on sale here which was beautifully made from old trousers with red and white lining.

My mom and I popped in here to see what items they had. They had decent stuff but the blonde woman…read morebehind the counter was beyond unfriendly. Everytime I looked up she was glaring at me and making it obvious there was some form of issue. She hovered around me looking at the racks and every-time I walked away from a rack she hurriedly went through and checked every Single item. It was like she thought I was stealing although I had not done anything to indicate such. Recommend literally any other charity shop, I can assure I've never had an experience like this before

You can tell by the pair of Jimmy Choo's in the window, that this charity shop has a little extra…read moreflair. Although the name is a little hard to read from the outside, because it's not up yet. You can find the shop by address or the letters that read "Ollamar Travel" in spray paint. There was a nice selection of coats and a few lovely dresses when I visited. I also found cute table top accessories, candle holders and pull out organizers that look like dresser draws. You can also donate your old clothing in-store.

A small charity shop with quite a bit a variety for its size - very close to the South Kensington…read moreTube station. I'm sure most people come in here looking for the locals' cast-offs... and while there are a couple of slightly interesting pieces, this shop is certainly not a bevy of buried fashionista treasure. But you're a die-hard thrift store browser, I would definitely recommend persistence when it comes to this place - from what I can tell, they have a good influx of stock, and if you get here early, there's certainly a chance you'll find something worthwhile before it all gets picked over. In addition to clothes (and shoes), there's also a decent selection of books and accessories, as well as some home accents. Men should also know that there's a section for them as large as the women's - pretty unusual for such shops! If you have any interest in browsing charity shops, definitely stop in if you're in the area - it's so small it certainly won't take you long to have a look around!

Really lovely little charity shop. It opened late part of 2009…read more Very well presented and doesn't look that much like a charity shop until one takes a closer look!! They carry a good number of new goods (in small quantities which suggests that they were donated possibly by businesses), particularly gift items. Overall presentation is 'cute' and 'feminine'. Lots of bargains for decorative home wares and well worth visiting to see what one could pick up!! There is a second hand books section in a separate annex at the back of the shop which often has rare and unusual titles. The staff takes great care to present merchandise well. Recommended. Support it!

Quaint charity shop near Norwich Castle. Clothing selection…read morewas quite good, and had a changing room, with other nearby didn't offer. Little of everything you might need. Friendly staff too. I didn't buy any treasures but I didn't have a lot of room in my luggage.

What do an astronaut and this Trinity Hospice have in common? Read this review to find out…read more I went here twice. The second time was immediately after the first because I'd dropped my mitten and had to go back and fetch it. This charity shop has got a unique characteristic that may be of interest to some people, but it hammered no nails for me. About 1/4 of this shop is chock full of yarn. Perhaps people buy it for knitting, but I'm inclined to think the the workers at this shop like to twine themselves into different colored balls and run around the streets saying "boo!" If you should ever need yarn for that purpose, you could definitely find some there. Besides yarn, there are the usual charity shop staples - clothes, shoes, house goods and cheap (in both senses of the word) jewelery. Where as I value charity shops for the awesome finds they can turn up once in a while, this one was no treasure chest. Captain Jack Sparrow must have rummaged through first. A.k.a, nothing super exciting. Maybe something good pops up here once in a while - I'm sure it does - but it was not an on day when I went there. It was clean and bright, nice wooden floor, and voila. So you want to know about the astronaut? Eh ? Eh? Well both the shop and Saturn have rings some times. Don't get it? Me either.

This is a cute thrift store located down the street from Harrod's…read more The merchandise is a little bit limited, although it looked like there actually was a downstairs but there was some rope cordoning it off. I'm not sure if this is just a UK thing or if it was actually closed off. I didn't see anyone go up or down the stairs. There are some decent pieces here. I spotted brands like Marc Jacobs, Alice & Olivia, Vince etc. The prices were a little steep like £45 for an Alice & Olivia sweater so it's still below MSRP (or RRP) but not dirt cheap.

Worst shopping experience of my life!…read more I asked for assistance at the jewelry case, and the lady " supposed manager" took her time to help me. I was interested in a caviar set and when I asked for the price she said 35£ but offered instant to lower the price 5£ without me even asking for a better deal! Not in the foundation interest! After I looked at a necklace (long gold pendant with stones on a black cord )that had the price on it 10£, when I said wanted to purchase it, she took a magnifying glass to check it out at the register and told me she cannot sell it ! Anywhere in the world if there is a item locked in the case where only employees have acces to it, the store is obligated to honor the price and sell the item! This is absolutely outrageous! I have traveled the world and never encountered such terrible customer service! I asked to speak with a manager and she said on a rude tone that she was the manager! If somebody from the HR of this foundation reads this comment I would recomand letting go of this untrustworthy employee, she is dishonest and makes the business lose money and customers . She completely ruined my trip! I'm still in sock that I received this treatment in such a wonderful country! Please don't waste your time shopping here unless you want to ruin your day, the experience it's not worth it! They don't honor their prices! You might have a surprize at the register! For the higher management of this great charity : please check who worked on Mother's Day( March 15 2026) on the Brompton Street location and take appropriate measures so this would never happen again to anybody!

Because, they actually choose and promote their best stock. So whereas with other vintage or retro shops, this only stocks really nice items. Which means it's pricey, but I think worth it. This shops sells mens' stuff, womens' stuff and jewellery. And I actually just like coming in to browse. Think I've only ever bought anything in here, and that was a fit pair of lambretta leather shoes. But whatever, they sell choice old gear... highly rated

In spite of the large size of the shop, nothing much really stood out the few times I've browsed…read morethe racks. Yes, it's fairly neatly laid out with clothes vaguely organised by colour, but the range isn't really great. Fair enough, it advertises itself as a retro store more than a vintage one, but, still, with clothing primarily from Karen Millen and Almost Famous, I'd still think this place is misrepresenting itself. If you're looking for proper, fairly decent quality retro/second-hand/possibly vintage, you should take a short walk to Pembridge Road where a much better selection of shops can be found.
