London is the land of vintage stores and charity shops. Here is everywhere I shopped during my quick trip across the pond. Spoiler alert: my top 3 favorites were Paper & Cup, Beyond Retro and Here After!
Shoreditch

This was the absolute cutest little spot with a few color coded racks of clothing, accessories small homewares, and books. They serve coffee so it's the perfect place to stop when they open for a great start to the day.

Here After was so expertly curated. Every piece had me more excited than the last. So many gems in this shop!

There were so many vendors packed into this space it would be too easy to get lost in here and end up spending the entire day looking through different vendor's booths. There is definitely something in here for everyone at any price point!

This store was two massive floors of vintage.
