London Charity Shops for young women?

[Roaminginthegloaming]

We have Australian visitors arriving next week and their three daughters aged 24 and 18 year old twins want to go to “Op Shops” to buy clothes. AFAIK they are charity shops….I know many young students like to be eco conscious and buy secondhand where possible rather than throw away fashion (so are not bothered about going to Camden market for instance).

We are in Dorset but they are staying in Putney for a few days and happy to get around on public transport around London. Can anyone suggest good places for them to check out please?

Generally quite wealthy areas have good things in their charity shops. Putney itself should be good. Chiswick is also west London and has good charity shops, ditto West Kensington. Central London I’m not sure on.

Marylebone

Quite a few in Chelsea

As they're staying in Putney they can start walking from that end of the New King's Road and work their way up to the King's Road.

They might be better off going to a car boot sale while in Dorset.
I went to a car boot sale yesterday and there were huge amounts of clothes.
(cheaper too as people sell at prices like 50p and you can haggle)

Charity shops on London are ££££ rebranded as 'vintage'. Depends what they're looking for?

The areas listed do have good charity shops but the prices are massively hiked, they are probably only not ‘op shops’ they have in mind. They need to try an area with a TRAID charity shop or maybe a Fara. Hammersmith is pretty good for charity shops actually, very easy from Putney, maybe Ealing Broadway. Basically stay out of the very salubrious areas and stick to zone 2/3/4 where the charity shops aren’t catering to the wealthy and just normal shoppers.
