This is an up-to-date list of used clothing stores in London. In all the main streets there are numerous charity shops which are shops that accept donations of clothes and second-hand items. It is worth giving us a look especially in the more affluent areas where it is not uncommon for someone to give a designer dress worn only for an occasion or two, but you need to have the time and luck. For example, try Barnardo’s on 7 George St in Marylebone. Another place worth visiting is Camden Stables Market where there are several used clothes shops. Then there are shops that only sell used clothes and often from other past decades.You can’t miss a trip to Spitalfields Market and the nearby shops.
Rokit is located at 42 Shelton Street. Not really cheap but it has a choice of very original things, if you want to express yourself with clothes, drop by, you can also buy online on their site.
