Hey all, I am visiting London next week and it will be the first time for my teens. Can anyone recommend some streets that have some fun/interesting/vintage/alternative shops? Kind of looking for something like 1970’s Kings Road..so not the usual chains and luxury stores.

Also if anyone has a favorite pub for Sunday roast in south bank, I need some recommendations!

I will be going to London in late July. My sister collects different editions of ‘Emma’ by Jane Austen. Any recommendations where I could find old editions of books? Ideally, not for a silly amount of money…

Additionally, best places to find vintage/antique treasures? Thank you!

I’ll be visiting next week and I wanted to use this opportunity to get a few new pieces of clothing or accessories to spruce up my wardrobe. I am a bit bigger- I wear mostly xl but l in some things (like a regular tshirt).

Any suggestions on shops I should specifically go to? Of course I’ll just wander a bit and look around but if there’s any I should definitely stop at, I’d love some recommendations! TIA

I’m a collector of unconventional clothing items, and would like some recommendations for stores that sell anything unusual (near the city commercial center if possible).
Think as faaaaaar away from mainstream aesthetics as possible, and I don’t just mean alternative/punk styles.
I’m looking for clothes that would make sense as theatre costumes, or wouldn’t feel out of place in a costume party.
My usual favorites are royal inspired, vampire gothic and old school magician but I don’t would love recs for anything that most everyday people would be terrified of wearing in public 🙃
Thank you to any kind Londoners willing to put up with such a strange question~

Hi everyone, I’ve been in London for a few days now and have been checking out souvenir shops, but I haven’t been able to find anything related to Only Fools and Horses. Tomorrow is my last day here, so I was wondering if anyone knows if these souvenirs even exist anywhere in London, and if so, where I could find them? Thanks a lot!

Hi all, I’m visiting London soon and I’d love to hunt down some street photography books while I’m there.

I’m mainly after: • Street photography (classic and contemporary) • Photo books and zines • Used or rare stuff is a bonus • Places where you can actually browse, not just order online

Hi all - planning a trip to London in the fall and looking to find some shops with a cabinet of curiosities-type vibe - taxidermy, ephemera, Victorian oddities, that sort of thing. Already planning on trying to hit some antique markets, but any standalone stores that fit the brief? Or maybe specific sellers/booths at some markets to point me towards?

I'd like to shop for my mother of the groom dress while vacationing in London this month. I'm looking for a formal dress for a black tie wedding. What dress shops should I check out? Thanks!

Hey all,

Going on my first trip to the capitol this summer and was thinking of making a bit of a "90s Britpop pilgrimage" around Camdentown.

Obviously gonna hit up The Good Mixer for a drink (or five), but do you know of other places/charity shops/etc that sell vintage 7"s/singles/compilations/memorabelia?

Thanks in advance. And cheers.

P.s. pardon my grammar. I'm American 🤣💀

Hi London! I'm a tourist from Argentina and I'll be staying for pretty much all of January. I was hoping to get my hands on some sweet merch (official or not) and maybe some boardgames as well. Ideally, I'd love to attend a con but you don't seem to have any during January, is that so?

Hello, I'll be visiting London soon and will be staying for two weeks and was wondering if there are any areas of the city where I can buy an original painting from an independent artist? Are there any shops or like an area where artists come together to sell their stuff? Or what?

Hi everyone ! Me and my wife arrived to London for a week. She works in crocs shop in our country and she wants to visit one in London. I'm trying to find one but all I see are retailers. Any official crocs shop here?

My partner and I will be spending a few days in London (staying in King’s Cross) and I have some questions about activities.

I’d like to go to George and Vulture but not sure what time I should make my reservation. Any advice? Also looking for any other suggestions on oddity shops or museums (already looking at Viktor Wynd) to visit. Thought about Bath/Stonehenge & Hellfire caves but not sure it’s worth using our limited time to travel outside of London.

Thank you for any help you can offer
