The Best Vintage Shops in London

Address: 8 Golborne Gardens, London, W10 5NW

Founded by Swedish-born entrepreneur Ameli Lindgren, Nordic Poetry’s Instagrammable pink interiors (designed by Lindgren’s creative partner, Scott Smith) and carefully curated mix of designer pieces make it one of east London’s hottest spots for vintage picks, with a loyal and ever-growing fan base. Expect to find everything from Alexander McQueen-era Givenchy to Tom Ford’s Gucci amid the store’s impressive collection.

Another Portobello Road favorite, Karen Vintage—founded by Karen Stott in 2017—is the place to go if you’re looking for a party dress, from ’80s ’frou frou to ’90s slips. While the likes of Ossie Clark and Bob Mackie can be found on the rails in this treasure trove, many of the store’s best pieces are unbranded, and truly one-of-a-kind.

With three stores across London, Rokit—which started off life as a Camden Market stall back in the 1980s—is perhaps the British capital’s most instantly recognizable vintage destination. Here you’ll find your day-to-day wardrobe staples, from ’90s Adidas hoodies to classic Levi’s.
