In Camden you can find one of the biggest concentrations of
Vintage and Retro clothing outlets in London and probably Europe,
a popular centre for discerning visitors from around the world.
Despite increasing difficulties with the sourcing of fine original
pieces you can still pick up some amazing one-offs here. With
Kate Moss and Stella McCartney advocating it, vintage has again
become highly stylish and attractive to fashion designers and
fashionistas all over the world.

The
Arches at Stables Market are an ideal place to start to look
for vintage treats. Here a lane of shops, housed under a Victorian
railway viaduct and unseen from the main market area, are crammed
to the rafters with retro and vintage clothing. Though most
clothing dates from the fifties through to the eighties it is
possible to find some 1940’s pieces - certainly shoes
and accessories.
Shops include:
St. Cyr Vintage at Arch 56.

| The Electric Ballroom, open only on a Sunday, has many more vintage clothing stalls than in the past and is now a definite must visit for bargain hunters. |
| The
mini-emporium Modern Age Vintage
has been at the top end of Chalk Farm Road for very many years
and sells ballgowns, cocktail and wedding dresses, mens' fancy
tuxedos, from 30’s-70’s. Racks of Hawaiian shirts,
50’s suburban living dresses. Tupperware-chic and everything
for the teddyboy, and accessories too, this shop has a definite
fifties feel to it and offers a hire service. |

| So
Vintage Lives in Camden!
