I have found many charity shops. I actually have found some great ones here in Canterbury, where we are now. I even found a tiny one in East Finchley near London when I went to see Mark Kermode's favourite cinema.&nbsp;</p> <p>Laura (rhubarbgirl) - &nbsp;I went to Portobello Road! It was very cool, but unfortunately the on;y good thing I found was a tiny old fashioned key. Other things seemed too pricey and they seemed to specialise more in antiques than clothing. Or else they were vintage and too pricey.&nbsp;</p> <p>Karin L H - Thank you! Unfortunately by the time I got internet we were out of London and too late to check out this great suggestion.&nbsp;</p> <p>approprio - Thank you for your help! I have been checking into every charity shop I come across. I hope to draw some of my finds and post them soon.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love,<br />LR</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-second-hand-in-london#post-1502512 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 11:41:44 +0000 approprio 1502512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seconding Brick Lane.

Lots of vintage places there. Closest tube is Liverpool Street, then it's a bit of a walk, but not too far at all, and you pass Spitafields market on the way which is one of my favourite markets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-second-hand-in-london#post-1502366 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 20:46:18 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1502366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few years ago we went to the Portobello Road Market and there was a secondhand shop on one of the side roads - no clue what the name of the shop or the road was, but it was on the way from the tube station to the actual Portobello Road itself. I remember I bought a pair of shoes and they had cute stuff. Not near St. Paul's but definitely transit accessible. </p> <p>Do you know about TRAID? I've never been there but I read someone's blog who used to work for them. <a href="http://www.traid.org.uk/shop-at-traid/" rel="nofollow">http://www.traid.org.uk/shop-at-traid/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-second-hand-in-london#post-1502345 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 20:10:32 +0000 LucyRose 1502345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Guys! I am still in London for a couple of days. I know a lot of you are Brits and I was wondering if you have any tips for good second hands for poor university students. I am staying near St. Paul's, but have easy access to public transport.&nbsp;</p> <p>Please let me know if you have any good ideas! Thanks:) </p>
