About
This tour will begin near Spitalfields, or, if desired, we can give another version of this tour that takes in Portobello, Soho, or Camden Passage. We will explore to your heart's content, mixing in history of the area and history of particular shops with the shop visits. There will be plenty of fashion history thrown in along the way as well, so be prepared to get excited about some 1970s London designer you never heard of before.
We believe deeply that vintage shopping is the most exciting shopping that exists and that it's the best way to develop one's personal style. We want to make you aware of the wealth that London has to offer, and we can focus on particular eras or help you seek out particular items of clothing. Most of all, we want to encourage you to handle the past, the quality and the feel of times gone by, letting old clothes and jewellery stir up something intangible but exciting that, at the very least, enables better understanding of the people and cultures that shaped us.
You’ll have 5 to 7 hours to explore vintage shops and an hour for refreshments. When you book, you can choose between lunch and afternoon tea.
