8 Golborne Gardens, London W10 5NW
Stocking an impressive range of antique gems, vintage shopping lovers could get lost for hours in Circa Vintage. It's hard to leave without making a purchase, with everything from Victorian corsets to flowing 30s dresses on offer.

One of the newest kids on the vintage block, Blitz is certainly making a name for itself on the East London scene. Their two-storey Victorian warehouse could pass for a second hand department store, selling fashion items alongside carefully curated homewear.
Nestled amongst Brick Lane's plethora of vintage shops (if you're in the area, make sure to check out the Beyond Retro on Cheshire Street), Hunky Dory offers a slightly higher calibre of pre-loved garms. Everything is colour coded, and you're right next to Beigal Bake for a post-shopping snack.

One of the few menswear-only vintage stores in London, Crazy Man Crazy sells American style clothing from the 40s and 50s to a retro rockabilly soundtrack. Head here for one of the best leather jacket selections in the city.
