When your next in the Palace, for what ever reason, go in to this shop. Its a lovely little mens…read morevintage shop and the owner is such a nice guy. The clothes may be vintage, but the quality is amazing. If your into mens vintage clothing, there are very few shops of this quality in the UK. It is small, but that does not matter as half the job has been done for you with only the best pieces on sale. I wondered past during the summer last year and a Rockabilly Skiffle band were playing in there. Such a great new addition to the Palace triangle.

Haynes Market seems like the perfect place to get lost in for a few hours. We found it by accident…read morewalking down this small road off Westow Road. It is like a whole new world of the past when you walk through the narrow doorway. A word of advice, do not take small children in there as they do not like people picking up their goods as most of it is antiques. They've got something for everyone in there, even if you do not like antiques. I saw a bunch of comics from my youth, a few action figures, tonnes of clothes, books and memorabilia scattered all over the place. The Haynes Market is a maze but a fun one. There is stairs from the first floor to the ground floor where you will discover a few more stalls to browse from. My friends got to wrapped up in the market that we spend ages in there looking at things, it's just amazing. Haynes Market is what a market in London should be like!

I've walked past this market so many times but never went inside…read more I don't think many people no that it is there as it's down a side street and there isn't much signs to direct people there. I finally went inside and wasn't disappointed there is so much to choose from the staff are very friendly and I brought quite a few coins and stamps as these are the things I collect and am interested in. Will defiantly be returning in the future.

It's also a little bit amazing! Run by 2 old geezers Alice S is right, there is a ramshackle collection of stuff the you just wouldn't put together, Actually if you are in the business for a bargain you may find one here, I can't put a name on what they sell but there is a huge collection of nonsense to browse. Seriously, It's a lovely place, go visit!

The Junk Shop is an Aladdin's cave of rubbish/treasure on Greenwich South Street. The stock varies from biographies and historical artifacts (mainly right wing paraphernalia- a Daily Mail series on the modern monarchy, an enormous hardback on the Third Reich and a Thatcher biography) Amongst all the military-themed bits of tat, there are actually some very good finds- there were some cool old 1950s Christmas cards, some 1960s newspapers in excellent condition and some beautiful vintage postcards. It is a funny old place but definitely worth a rummage through.

This little gem is situated on one of East Dulwich's shopping side streets (the entrance is on…read moreUpland Road), selling a mix of vintage and modern secondhand clothes for men and women. Unlike some of the shops further down on North Cross Road everything is reasonably priced and it's a snobbery-free zone. I used to live just round the corner and picked up some cool dresses on my jaunts, the accessories are great too and I just like the way lovely things are displayed decoratively outside the shop when the weather's good. Places like ChiChiRaRa are great to have in the neighbourhood and always worth trying before hitting the high street; it's a friendly, fun experience and the chances of turning up to a party in the same outfit as someone else are much reduced! Opening hours are a bit irregular so it's worth calling ahead if you're planning to go there on a weekday - 020 8693 1236.

Tucked away in Greenwich Market is this cute little two-shop vintage/second hand establishment. It's well laid out and un-cluttered. I loved this shop for all the army/military gear it has and if I was still into my Am-Dram I would be here every week to steal new stock for costume. Now I didn't purchase anything here on my visit, because I am poor, but I did see some great items at reasonable prices. Like most vintage shops its got your mock/real furs and granny jumpers and tweed jackets. However it has some great choice pieces and lovely little bits and bobs.

I was impressed with 360 Vintage, its a lovely and neat shop right in Greenwich Market…read more I liked the way they had put a tag on the rails of clothing with which decade it came from...believe me this is very helpful. They don't have a big range of clothing, and was nice to see that you don't have to rummage through stuff. The left side of the store was more elegant, more of the 1930s and 40s era. The clothes are pricey a dress could easily be £55 but the quality of the garment is well preserved. If I'm in Greenwich again, ill shall pop and who knows I might come away with something.

Circa Vintage is a great vintage shop in Fulham…read more.. They sell really top notch vintage clothes. I got a really gorgeous 20s style dress here. It was a little over-priced but I love it to pieces. It's a really small shop, very boutique like. I like the feel of the place, it's a little independent shop and they change their stock every few weeks or so... I'd definitely check this out if you are a proper vintage lover, it rocks!

They only thing that fails is the price, £15 skirts, £17 for dresses, it just seems a little steep for a second hand store. Also, can you haggle in a charity shop or is that rude? I went here with Larissa D and we questioned this as the skirt she wanted to buy was missing a button. Anyway, it seems to be that Brixton's hipsters have forgotten about this gem as it stocks some awesome 60s and 70s clothing, leather bags and quirky shirts. I just wish it was a little cheaper!

This does the job, as a charity shop should-- it's cheap, generally decent, and all that…read more HOWEVER, I really want to see more from it: They promise they've got all sorts of things running, including reconstructing (fugly) vintage garments to top style. But when you go in there? It's all just the same. Hint, though: Hit the branches in posher areas of town, and they're filled with new/tagged suits and much nicer stuff. This is definitely noughty-Lambeth-style shab. Which is OK. I just want the store to live up to its claims.

Generally if you forage through the stock in this store you will find one or two really funky, must have designs for your wardrobe, but they will cost you a pretty penny. I came here in mid December, deep in the sale season, and I found 20% off shirts that cost £65 a pop. They were nice shirts though, very well tailored, good looking. If you're able to dole out around £50 per item of clothing then this shop is definitely worth a peek.
