Britpick Question

[amberfocus]

Is there an area in London popular for having good thrift or second hand stores?  Places that sell vintage clothing and furniture and household goods.  I'm thinking quality second hand.  Not expensive, but not cheap, either.  Not really antiques either, though if those shops are in the area, too, it's not a problem.

Here's a list of the markets in London. I know Camden is the funky/punk market.

Camden has some of everything - it's really a bunch of different markets - Camden Lock is the funky punky one, I think. But there's stuff there for everyone, really. Vintage anything. ;-)

I think Spitalfields (sp?) would do furniture and such. And Bermodsey (Bermondsey? Bermondsy? I can't spell tonight) does loads of amazing antiques, including furniture. And of course Petticoat Lane for all sorts of clothing and such.

Can you tell I *love* markets in England? I must have done half my shopping at the local market in Cambridge when I lived there - I never bought fruit and veg at the grocery if I could help it. And all the people running the various bookstall all knew my name! ;-)

Bermondsey ;)

I have nothing to contribute other than spelling, clearly.
