1. Fat Faced Cat

22-24 Camden Passage, London, Greater London
Vintage and Thrift Store · Islington · 4 tips and reviews

Shawn S.Shawn S.: I really like this store. Tucked away in Angel, FFC has a nice collection of vintage finds ranging from wallets, jackets to knick-knacks. It is good to visit often as their wares change over time.

83 Brick Ln, London, Greater London
Flea Market · Spitalfields and Banglatown · 51 tips and reviews

Shawn S.Shawn S.: AMAZING FLEA MARKET. There is a large range of wares to be found here. Expect to spend hours shopping and looking at stuff. Only open on sundays, 10am - 5pm.

3. Brick Lane

Brick Ln, London, Greater London
Road · Spitalfields and Banglatown · 56 tips and reviews

Shawn S.Shawn S.: Come by on the weekends and find yourself in a place where young people over-dress to impress. Extremely entertaining experience!

4. Absolute Vintage

7.9
15 Hanbury St, London, Greater London
Shoe Store · Spitalfields and Banglatown · 10 tips and reviews

Shawn S.Shawn S.: Unlike most vintage stores, their stuff don't smell like pee or something died in them. I like their bags but do make sure you check for holes or tears before buying. Prices are slightly steep for me.

7.8
26 Hanbury St, London, Greater London
Coffee Shop · Spitalfields and Banglatown · 214 tips and reviews

Shawn S.Shawn S.: I really like their piccolos! If you are visiting this outlet on a weekend, I recommend ordering a to-go and envelope yourself in indie music performed by young baskers outside.

7. Portobello Road Market

9.0
Portobello Rd, London, Greater London
Market · Kensington and Chelsea · 348 tips and reviews

Shawn S.Shawn S.: I used to like Portobello Road a lot but it has become extremely touristy of late. Expect a lot of tugging and squeezing if you are visiting in the weekends.

8. Queen of Hoxton Rooftop

7.7
1-5 Curtain Rd, Shoreditch, Greater London
Roof Deck · 33 tips and reviews

Shawn S.Shawn S.: Enjoy movie classics on breezy rooftops over a glass of wine. It reckon it wld be a much enjoyable experience if I didnt do this during Oct. I WAS FREEZING MY ASS OFF (even with the blankets provided)
