vintage stores in london?
i'm going to london in a few days. i've been before, but that was four years ago, and i just went wherever my parents took me. i'm going with them again, which means that seeing museums and famous buildings, all that stuff, are taken care of.
both my mom and i love vintage clothing, thrift stores, the one of a kind sort of hippieish stuff that can also be elegant. you know what i mean. i'm also really into punk, and would love it if some of these vintage stores sold items such as plaid (i think you guys call it tartan, not sure) skinny jeans, and band shirts such as op. ivy.
but anything is good, whether it's flowery dresses from the 60s or combat boots from the 80s, as long as it's not all a huge tourist trap, and as long as all of it's unique and vintage.
so, any stores or marketplaces that sell that kinda stuff in london? and please don't send me to one of those ends of town where you get mugged and beaten up within three minutes (this is advice from my british friends)
oh yeah and i go to an international school, so the english kids who told me this stuff about the 'bad' parts of london are actually from london (so i'm guessing they should know). not just americans with a great-great-great grandfather from england.
